Ordered to be used as a week-long bag, and got what I hoped for. Not a thing wrong with the quality of build, fabric, or size. I didn't want to keep using my old 'roller suitcase', and opted to get this bag. Being ex-Army, I was hoping for something that would hold up as good as my old 'rucksack'. This is a million-times better. The many pockets, expansion options, heavy-duty fabric, heavy-duty zippers and stitching, make my old equipment pale in comparison. This is also better than the one I looked at when I went to a high-end surplus store. (and less-expensive, to boot) Can be carried with simple shoulder strap provided, carry strap on top and side, and also has shoulder and waist/kidney straps if you wish to carry it like a backpack (they can be tucked and hidden so they won't be in the way). It can expand in depth if you need more space, and has more than enough room if you need it. I can give this pack a five-star review with confidence, because I am more than pleased with it!! Have a good one!!
