Even if I was doing either mission, it\u2019s debatable on whether I would need to spend that many dead presidents on a bag. Nevertheless, when I ask myself that question, What do I need in a pack?

You have the main compartment, the secondary compartment, a front &#8220;stash&#8221; compartment, a front &#8220;admin&#8221; compartment and a back &#8220;hydration&#8221; compartment.<\/p>\n<p>The main compartment zips all the way down to make it easier for you to load it up. In the main compartment, there is a mesh pocket on one side and zippered pocket on the other to help you keep things organized. That\u2019s a running theme with the Bravo; you have: compartments, and pockets and straps, oh my! Plenty of room to place stuff, to organize it, and secure it.<\/p>\n<p>The secondary compartment is smaller than the main. But it too has mesh pockets to help you organize items. The front stash compartment, the smallest of all five, is great for putting keys, wallet, sunglasses \u2014 items one needs at a moment\u2019s notice. Underneath the stash pocket is the admin pocket, which contains slots for pens, pencils, markers, and such. If you\u2019re a writer, like me, it\u2019s a great place for your notepad as well.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_65383\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravos3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"an-awesome-45-budget-pack-exos-gear-bravo-series-tactical-backpack\" title=\"An Awesome $45 Budget Pack \u2014 Exos-Gear Bravo Series Tactical Backpack\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-65383\" title=\"An Awesome  Budget Pack \u2014 Exos-Gear Bravo Series Tactical Backpack\" class=\"wp-image-65383 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravos3-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"bravos3\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravos3-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravos3-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravos3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravos3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravos3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-65383\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">That front stash pocket is perfect for wallet, keys, sunglasses, cell phone &#8212; the items you need to grab at a moment&#8217;s notice.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Lastly, there is the back hydration pocket, which is nicely padded so that your back sits comfortable against it. The hydration pocket is designed to contain one of those bladder systems or, if you\u2019d like, your computer (because of the padding).<\/p>\n<p>The outside of the bag is decked out in the PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) webbing to military specification with 1\u2033 tall webbing and standard 1\u2033 spacing. If you need even more compartments or modular capability with MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) gear, the PALS webbing allows one to add-on pouches and accessories.<\/p>\n<p>The outer shell of the pack is made from 600 Denier Polyester (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.standardfiber.com\/materials\/bedding-basics\/about-denier\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"an-awesome-45-budget-pack-exos-gear-bravo-series-tactical-backpack\" title=\"An Awesome $45 Budget Pack \u2014 Exos-Gear Bravo Series Tactical Backpack\">Denier is a measuremen<\/a>t for an individual thread of material. \u00a0In terms of thickness, the human hair is 20 denier. \u00a0So, we&#8217;re talking about pretty thick fibers of polyester). While not as strong as some higher end material, like waxed Scottish canvas or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordura.com\/en\/about\/faq.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"an-awesome-45-budget-pack-exos-gear-bravo-series-tactical-backpack\" title=\"An Awesome $45 Budget Pack \u2014 Exos-Gear Bravo Series Tactical Backpack\">1000D Cordura<\/a>, the 600D polyester holds its own in terms of toughness and durability. There are seven compression straps, two along each side, two on the bottom and one that goes vertically down the front of the pack. Additionally, there\u2019s also a waist strap and a chest strap to help secure the Bravos to you and balance a heavy load.<\/p>\n<h2>What I Love<\/h2>\n<p>On the whole, I have to say that I\u2019m really impressed with this backpack. Without a doubt, my favorite part of the pack are the padded shoulder straps. They are incredibly comfortable! If you\u2019ve read<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/327-gear-bag-must-see-saddleback-leather\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"an-awesome-45-budget-pack-exos-gear-bravo-series-tactical-backpack\" title=\"An Awesome $45 Budget Pack \u2014 Exos-Gear Bravo Series Tactical Backpack\"> my last bag review<\/a>, you know I\u2019m a \u201cmurse guy,\u201d that is I typically carry a one-strap computer bag when I travel to shows and conventions and such. But, tell you what, I may be a convert to a two-strap situation because my other one-strap bags have nothing on the Bravo. You may be thinking, wow, what an incredibly trivial feature to praise. To that I say, try on a Bravo and then talk to me. It\u2019s night and day in terms of comfort compared to my one-strap murses or, for that matter, the two-strap bookbags I carried throughout high school.<\/p>\n<p>[one_half]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_65461\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravo19.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"an-awesome-45-budget-pack-exos-gear-bravo-series-tactical-backpack\" title=\"An Awesome $45 Budget Pack \u2014 Exos-Gear Bravo Series Tactical Backpack\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-65461\" title=\"An Awesome  Budget Pack \u2014 Exos-Gear Bravo Series Tactical Backpack\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-65461\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravo19-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"I made the GF take a photo with the pack on.

Since I received it in the spring, I\u2019ve taken it on several road trips, a flight, a hike, to a half marathon and it\u2019s held up perfectly through all that traveling &#8212; no rips or fraying, no zipper issues, no broken straps or buckles, no damage to report. None of those would be considered \u201chard use\u201d jobs, but like I said, I\u2019m not a soldier or a mountaineer.<\/p>\n<p>The layout of the Bravo is also great. All those pockets really come in handy. See, I\u2019m a guy who likes to keep things segregated. So, when I travel with the Bravo, I keep my clean clothes in the main compartment and dirty clothes in the secondary compartment. I keep my computer in the hydration compartment and the cords for the computer in the main mesh pocket. My travel kit (containing my toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, deodorant, etc.) goes in the stash pocket or admin pocket, depending on how much other stuff I\u2019m bringing on the trip. Anyways, that\u2019s probably more than you needed to know about my packing habits. \u00a0However, my point remains: there is plenty of room to store things however you see fit.<\/p>\n<p>[one_half]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_65459\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravo11.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"an-awesome-45-budget-pack-exos-gear-bravo-series-tactical-backpack\" title=\"An Awesome $45 Budget Pack \u2014 Exos-Gear Bravo Series Tactical Backpack\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-65459\" title=\"An Awesome  Budget Pack \u2014 Exos-Gear Bravo Series Tactical Backpack\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-65459\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravo11-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"The hydration pocket, which can also be used as a computer pocket because of the padding. \" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravo11-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravo11-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravo11-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravo11-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravo11.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-65459\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The hydration pocket, which can also be used as a computer pocket because of the padding.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/one_half]<\/p>\n<p>[one_half_last]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_65460\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravo12.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"an-awesome-45-budget-pack-exos-gear-bravo-series-tactical-backpack\" title=\"An Awesome $45 Budget Pack \u2014 Exos-Gear Bravo Series Tactical Backpack\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-65460\" title=\"An Awesome  Budget Pack \u2014 Exos-Gear Bravo Series Tactical Backpack\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-65460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravo12-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"You can see the whole at the top that allows the hose to the water bladder to pass through.\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravo12-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravo12-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravo12-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravo12-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravo12.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-65460\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">You can see the whole at the top that allows the hose to the water bladder to pass through.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, all those compression straps really aid you in minimizing the size of the pack when space is an issue.

I\u2019m very picky. But with the Bravo, it\u2019s hard to fault-find, especially at its $45 price point. It really is. That said, if I had to point out anything, it wouldn\u2019t be about the bag itself but about the absence of a warranty on the website.<\/p>\n<p>To get to the bottom of this issue, I emailed the ad company representing Exos-Gear and asked about the warranty, to which he kindly replied, \u201cAs of this minute they do not have an official warranty policy but you can imagine they take care of any issues customers might have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I believe that response. I\u2019m sure they would send you a new backpack if it malfunctioned or if there was a defect, but it\u2019d be nice to have it in writing on the website itself. I think we all like when a company explicitly stands by its product. They\u2019re a newer company, though, so maybe they just haven\u2019t gotten around to it.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, that\u2019s the one complaint I have. Well, if I had to lodge another, it would be my color choice. I should have\u00a0opted for gray or black. The coyote tan makes me seem like a wannabe soldier. I don\u2019t want to be accused of stolen valor by carrying a para-military looking backpack.<\/p>\n<p>[one_half]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_65457\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravo9.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"an-awesome-45-budget-pack-exos-gear-bravo-series-tactical-backpack\" title=\"An Awesome $45 Budget Pack \u2014 Exos-Gear Bravo Series Tactical Backpack\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-65457\" title=\"An Awesome  Budget Pack \u2014 Exos-Gear Bravo Series Tactical Backpack\" class=\"wp-image-65457 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravo9-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"bravo9\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravo9-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravo9-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravo9-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravo9-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bravo9.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-65457\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is the main compartment.

He was a civilian that carried a tactical looking backpack in a color reminiscent of a solider\u2019s (probably olive drab or coyote tan), and people would thank him for his service when he was traveling through airports. Pretty funny. But it undoubtedly put him in an awkward situation.
