"I am very fat. just under 6 feet tall and 400 lbs. This is the ONLY back pack I have ever found that has straps long enough to fit me. I use it when I need to carry things on my Motorcycle. Yes.... I am 400 lbs and ride a motorcycle. Thanks for making this." Show More

"I use this day pack everyday for work, hunting, hiking and travel. I have not had it long but so far I love the orgaizational value and it has more room than the last one I carried for 25 years. I only hope it has the same durability. I am a field biologist and the bag receives no mercy. It MUST perform. I carry everything I would need to survive any situation, comfortably, for at least two days in the field and beyond. I had it with me in the Bahamas when hurricane Sandy came through. I am seldom without it. I have nothing negative to say about its performance so far. I would suggest reinforcing the bottom. I spent a LOT of time researching and looking before I decided on this bag and though I feel the price was a little high, so far it is holding up well. I will try to repost when it has some age on it. I have only had it one month. I especially like the ergonomic shoulder straps and chest and waist straps. Much more comfortable than the old style day packs when carring loads. When loaded for daily use it can weight 15 lbs or more. I am prior military and believe in being prepared." Show More

"I've had one of these bags for over 10 years. Its been used daily to carry a laptop, workout gear, uniforms and boots. Its been through a deployment to Afghanistan where I lived out of it for week long trips. I use it for travel, solely for 2-3 day trips, and as a work backpack for longer trips. The only reason I need a new one is that the zippers are going out. The zipper in the smallest/outer pouch went out first. The main cargo area zippers are now going out. But for the price and 10 years of use, I'm getting another one to replace it." Show More

"This is an awesome back pack. It is very comfortable to wear even when fully loaded. It holds a lot of stuff and had enough compartments to keep you organized with out things getting lost. Flaps open fully like a suit case so you can see your stuff down at the bottom and not have to pull everything out. Would highly recommend this." Show More

"Overall the SOC Gear backpack is a good purchase. However, on one side of the inside stitching, one of the tabs was not sawed straight. Therefore, this causes the zipper to catch and makes the bag hard to open since the zipper keeps getting caught on that tab. Tried to work with this fault for a few days and it just became too much of a pain to with this pack. It is now in the closet." Show More

"I use this bag to organize my hair supplies etc. as I'm a hairstylist/makeup artist who attends many "on site" photo shoots... I christened the bag with a trip to shoot all over Boston and it was great! It held everything I needed, had tons of pockets for organization, and room to spare! The ability to strap it around my hips is a life saver since I fill it up and it gets pretty heavy but have a bad back - the extra support is fabulous! I'd definitely recommend it! :-)" Show More

"I have used SOC bags for several years and I needed a new one use on a deployment to Afghanistan. I knew the quality was good, however, I could not find the one I wanted at my local AAFES. After I ordered from eBags I received the bag in good time and it met all the requirements to throw extra goodies and necessities in for trips outside the wire.

"I love the SOC Three Day Pass! Just used it on a 3 day trip and it was the perfect size to carry all of my necessities. The pockets were all very useful and easy to use. As mentioned in other reviews, the fabric covered zippers are a bit of a challenge but I appreciate their purpose/function. I would highly recommend this pack to friends and family as well as consider purchasing other SOC Gear in the future!" Show More

"I use this backpack daily for hauling around my gear for teaching. It also functions as my mobile office for my business, so the organizational aspects of the pack really pleased me. It's built hell-for-stout and is comfortable. I will also use this as a carry-on for travel for my business which is often international. If I have any concern at all it might be the zippers, not because they have failed but they seem a little lightweight compared to the rest of the pack. It's early in the game though, so time will tell. So far, I love this pack." Show More

"Awesome bag. I use it everyday to transport my gear to and from work. Good bag for when you are riding your bike somewhere to carry things in." Show More
