The FINEST tactical backpack I have ever owned and guess what? I am a teacher and use it as a mobile office/Bug-out bag! To begin, I've never had so many compliments about a backpack before! Second, this is fully functional and carries everything I desire and more. It is obvious that they built this backpack with functionality in mind. It is roomy and built like a tank! The fabric is A+ and it also has water resistance to it too (The bag is made from a laminate 500D Cordura ). I attached an MSM Patch Panel to the front of the MOLLE just to keep handy teacher things such as pens, pencils, etc. I plan to attach two small pouches to the side to complete the backpack. Everything about this backpack is heavy duty from the zippers to the thread, to the stitching. I have never had a backpack so finely made as this. One of the main features that led me to choose the Ghost is the detachable admin pocket/beavertail. As a teacher, it just worked for my most important go-to items and can also double as a quickly detachable medic pouch. This part of the pack is one of the elements that makes it so flexible and modular, as it detaches to become a standalone grab and go bag, complete with its own carry handle. The organization of this pouch is fantastic. The back is well padded with a nice thick slab of closed-cell foam on each side. It's quite comfortable and functional. All around I can't say enough about this pack and there are only five stars available. I would give it 10 stars it is built that good with obvious quality in mind! Thank you to Direct Action Customer Service who followed up with me to see if I was happy with my purchase and my response was: ABSOLUTELY! Buy with confidence and don't consider any other 72-hour pack. Totally Awesome!!
