Build Like a Tank!
Not very many things last. You dont hear of things being "built like a tank" anymore. This bag is the exception. I took a look at it the other day and realized just how long and how many life experiences this pack as seen. Basic, AIT, college, ROTC, OBC, a deployment to Iraq and now it's hauling more TM's and pubs than you can shake a stick at here at flight school. 10 years of abuse, and still in tact. What a great product and company! Thanks flying circle bags! You have a customer for life!
Awesome Bag
What a awesome bag! 10 years of abuse and it just keeps going. It is built like a tank. Basic training, AIT, college, ROTC, deplyment to Iraq and now flight school. Who knows how long this pack will last... only time will tell. Great products, from a great company! You have a customer for life!
Does it All
picked this bag up at the PX here @ fort knox clothing sales dept. i have been carrying SPEC OPS THE pack. i saw Flying Circles Bag and immediately googled the company. after seeing and reading that they stand behind their products like no other, i took the plunge. this pack is the perfect bag for an active duty Soldier. i like the foilage bc it isnt as military looking as the patterned models - hence its better for traveling while on leave and wanting to blend in and look like a civilian without sacrificing military durability and rugged-natured packs. this pack can do it all and go anywhere. from flights to vegas with the boys, to afghanistan and on patrol - this pack does it all. the best thing about flying circles is their quality AND price. i bought 4 bags for less than i would have paid for ONE camelback or SPEC OPS bag -and the quality is just as good, if not better. this pack will enable you to carry clothes, gear, iPad, iPhone, etc with ease. the name tape place is nice along the zippers (which are bombproof) so when you are traveling you can ID your assault pack if you have checked it. this pack is small enough that it doesnt need to be checked though. this will be the pack i carry with me and let no one get into. i like the fact its small but can hold alot. definitely a lifetime Soldier's pack.
This is a great bag!
I am using as a bug out bag because I needed something big enough, waterproof, and had all the bells and whistles. I came across this bag at the BX on my base, and am very glad I did! The price was unbeatable for everything it offers. I shopped bags for about 3 months before this one made its way into my life. I have yet to find anything wrong with it. I have dragged it across the ground, thrown it on rocks, rolled down a hill with it and it looks flawless still, which is more than I can say for myself. Everything seems to be in the right place for me. Mine loaded weighs in at about 45lbs, and I can walk all day with it on. The straps are well padded as is the back portion. I will be buying another one very soon for my wife.
Very Nice Bag!
Well made and designed, especially for the price. Heavy duty materials. Quality shows when you can pick one up and look at it. Pictures don't do it justice.
Virtually Indestructible
My son has one of these bags he uses for Boy Scouts and it is virtually indestructible. One feature they do not mention is that there is a panel on the bottom for strapping things like a sleeping bag or tent on. Great day-pack and for weekend camping, completely worth buying.

Best Bag Ever
This bag lasted me for five years, during which it was always over-stuffed and being dragged and thrown around. Best bag ever!
OK for the Price
i bought this bag for a day hike at a local state park in North Carolina. first let me say that the pack loekod great once i opened the box. after inspecting the pack i could see that the waist belt was not like other MOLLE packs i have purchased in the past. the belt had two adjustment points, one at the buckle and one at the attachment point at the pack. i had to make a number of adjustment with the waist belt before it fit good. Usually with MOLLE packs one adjustment at the buckle is all it takes. Second the Shoulder straps didn't have much padding. Third the pack didn't have any drain holes anywhere. the pack is able to carry a hydration bladder but the divider between the hydration area and the storage area was thin and my gear would squeeze the bladder. Once i was out on the trail i noticed the left shoulder strap started to come apart at the seam right above the sternum strap. i quickly did a repair with liquid glue and duck tape. if you are looking for a OK bag at a lower than normal price this bag is for you but the quality is SUB-PAR. if you want quality gear for a 3 day trip then go with US Military MOLLE II 3 day pack or a patrol pack. TRU-SPEC and MIL-SPEC alos make very good 3 day Assault Packs. i will be going back to on of them.
