Mardingtop 75L Molle Hiking Internal Frame Backpacks with Rain Cover for Camping,Backpacking,Travelling

Great backpack. It actually exceeded my expectations and that’s saying a lot, because I'm fairly particular about the things I buy. I usually spend days researching and reading reviews before I make a purchase. This is one of the few times that I didn’t do that, and I feel as if I hit the jackpot.It is very spacious and accommodating for everything that I need in order to survive for some time in the wilderness. It is tactical. The molle strapping is superb. Also, the extra pockets lend themselves to carrying those things that you are constantly needing to get your hands on quickly. Those extra pockets are also very spacious a designed with functionality in mind.The backpacks overall harness system is sturdy and comfortable on your shoulders. I also love the way it adjusts to accommodate short to tall torsos and everything in between.You won’t regret this purchase. Did I use the word, phenomenal? That would be a good descriptor for this particular backpack.

I was very skeptical. I need a good and well organized bag for my work as a railroader. The amount of stuff I need to bring with me on the road is insane. I’ve been through many bags over the years and have finally found one that checks all of the boxes. And the price can’t be beat for what you get. I ordered a bag from a well known maker that was $450 and I returned it after opening it and finding it was just lacking in size and capacity. So I took a chance and ordered this one and was very pleasantly surprised by its capacity and build. The zippers are super smooth and easy to use. It seems to have a compartment for everything and then some. It sits very comfortably on my back. I just got it so I can’t speak on its durability. This was a well thought out and designed bag. The only negative I have is I wish the padded belt was removable. But on the plus side of the belt, there’s pockets in it too to store stuff. Also could use some more Velcro panels for patches. But other than that it’s incredible.

Ok! Here goes a review after a 12 day straight backpacking trip to New Mexico where I did close to 78 miles.The pack had a variable weight in it between 56 and 65 pounds depending on how much food I was carrying at the time. I have read regarding the single stitching construction but I would say that I never felt it to be an issue. The zipper might need your help to be closed if you are accessing your stuff from the full front loading flap… which I think is a great feature, but obviously the pack will loose the shape and you will need to keep it in place while closing. If you prefer, the pack main compartment can be accessed through a top loading flap as well. The hip belt has a expandable pocket on the right side that should fit a 1 Liter of water bottle (like a smart water) without issues. Keep in mind that when you tighten it, it makes the opening of such pocket a bit tighter but nothing that will impede you to use it. That was my main water carrier during the hike. The two sided elastic pockets carried 2 Nalgene bottles but I would use those once I had reached the campsites. The pack has a bladder pocket but I never used it as I don’t like bladders since I cannot tell how much water I’m consuming, which is an issue if headed to a dry camp. The rain cover was big enough to cover my pack with a bottom addition of a foam sleeping mat held by Velcro straps tied to the Molle and a fly tent tied on the top by the backpack straps. At some point I had to carry extra weight to help one of the members of the expedition and the pack did rose to the occasion. Shoulder straps were comfortable enough and I would say that the adjustment straps options available are comparable to some name brands available in the market, and really felt superb the fit I was able to achieve; the pack glued to my back like a glove. I was able to shift the weight between my hips and my shoulders without any issues. Also the feature of the adjustable height for shoulder straps feels very customizable and easy to change. To be fair, I saw the pack struggling a bit in that arena in terms of the stitching when carrying heavy loads (65 pounds) as you could see the stitches holding the shoulder straps adjustment system being push to their limits (yet never ripped). I would say this pack was as good, and better in some senses, compared to an Ospray 75L pack I used last year. My only negative comment, yet again, are the buckles for the hip strap and the chest strap… they seemed a little tricky to unbuckle as opposed to some others I have used in the past, yet nothing that would discourage me from using the pack again and again. I love this pack and I know you will too!!! Happy hikes my friends.I bought this as my primary pack for monthly 3-4 day weekends. So far the pack has performed very good. It feels of a solid construction. Space wise… great. It has the option of a top opening or a complete front opening for the main compartment which I found ideal to keep all my gear accessible and organized. The adjusting height for shoulder straps is a feature I love and that works smoothly. Plenty of pocket options. The two main lateral pockets are insanely deep. They should fit folded trekking poles nicely. As for other stuff, it may be a little uncomfortable having to dig all the way down to grab let’s say a water bottle or something. Yet, it has small water bottle elastic pockets on the side as well that should avoid the need of using the deep ones. The two front pockets are roomy. Tons of adjustment options, so shifting the weight when needed was a breeze. I will be trying it out on a long hike soon but I do not expect any issues. I’m very pleased with this pack.The only CON: some of the plastic adjusting webbing component parts feel kind of delicate. Yet again, none has failed so far and even if they do, they could be changed quickly on the fly (Provided that you got spares and kept them with you) The main concerning one is the plastic buckle clip for the waist support strap. But again… I have not had an issue with it and I have requested a substitute just in case it fails while on a trek.Aside of that, I am loving this pack.

6+ month reviewAfter daily use for over 6 months, mostly while I was homeless, daily carrying anywhere between 30 - 50 lbs this pack gave up the ghost. The strap ripped off the pack itself and tore a hole. I cleaned it up as you can see. When it first started pulling I tried to add more threading for reinforcement ass you might be able to see but that did not help. I loved the pack while I was using it and would happily take a replacement but my situation will not allow me to buy another one currently.75+ ltr pack reviewGood: Great organization, comfortable, love that you can access the entire main compartment from the front instead of having to dig from the top. Plenty of molle straps and tie down points. Carried 50 lbs over 10 miles comfortably, little back problems and I'm a fat guy.Bad: weak seam for shoulder straps (I used tarred bank line to repair. Ugly but it works), I replaced the zipper cords with a different colored cord just to make it easier to find the zippers. Wouldn't mind a bigger velcro area for morale patches.Had pack for 4 months use it every day 30+ pounds for excersize and that's the only issues I've had so far. Great deal for the price.
