Fox OutdoorProducts Field Operator's Action Pack

Very nice construction. Zippers are sturdy clips are strong . I work for the railroad and feel this bag could last a long time. Plenty of room for all my things .

PACKAGE ARRIVED PROMPTLY, SAFELY, AND CORRECTLY. THIS COMPANY THAT I PURCHASED FROM (TRU INERTIA) - SRRY IF THAT IS SPELLED INCORRECTLY GUYS - WAS HONEST AND RELIABLE AS WELL AS EXACT IN THERE ITEM DESCRIPTION. THE BAG FIRST OFF IS EXTREMELY RUGGED AND DURABLE. THE MATERIAL WAS MORE THAN I EVER EXPECTED. I HAD BEEN SHOPPING HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE FOR A COUPLE WEEKS AND HAD MANY MANY CHOICES. THE ONE BAG I END UP BUYING SIGHT UNSEEN WAS BY FAR THE BEST. AGAIN, I CANNOT EXPRESS ENOUGH HOW NICE AND RUGGED THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL IS. THE ZIPPERS ARE OF GOOD QUALITY AND FOR NOW, I BELIEVE, WILL HOLD UP. MY LAST PACK, A BURTON OF JUST ABOUT THE SAME MEASUREMENTS WAS NO WAY EVEN CLOSE TO THE QUALITY OF THIS BAG. NOT EVEN A LITTLE. JUST THE SIZE. AND IT LASTED 10 YEARS SO I HONESTLY THINK THIS BAG WILL DO BETTER FOR WHAT I USE IT FOR. I USE MY PACKS FOR WORK EVERY DAY, IN AND OUT OF LOCKERS AND CARRYING LOTS OF LAPTOPS, CLOTHES, SUPPLIES. I ALSO GO ON HIKES AND TRAVEL OFTEN. THIS PACK WILL BE A DAILY DRIVER. THIS BAG WAS BIGGER INSIDE THAN EXPECTED AS YOU WILL FIND WITH MOST REVIEWS. THE PICS AVAILABLE ARE HELPFUL IN REVIEWS BUT REALLY DO NOT DO THE BAG JUSTICE. THIS BAG IS ON THE BIGGER SIDE OF MEDIUM AND IF IT WAS ANY BIGGER IT WOULD BE TO MUCH, BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE IT IS JUST RIGHT, SO BUY IT. ITS PERFECT. THERE ARE LOTS OF POCKETS BUT THEY DONT TAKE AWAY FROM STORAGE AND CARRY SPACE. THE ADJUSTERS AND CINCHES ARE GOOD. THEY WORK FINE. I SUSPECT THE CHEST STRAPS MAY LOOSEN OVER TIME BUT STILL NOT A REASON NOT TO PURCHASE. JUST PULL THEM TIGHT. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BAG LEAVES ME FEELING HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE. I DO NOT FEEL ANY REGRET. THE LOOKS ARE GOOD, QUALITY, AND SIZE IS GREAT. I FIT A 15 X 10 OR 17" LAPTOP MEASURED DIAGONALLY, IN THE BACK JUST FINE. IT IS ALSO PADDED WERE THE LAPTOP IS STORED SO IT IS WELL PROTECTED. NOW DONT LET THE LAPTOP STUFF TURN YOU AWAY FROM THIS BAG, ITS NOT A "OFFICE" PACK OR A WANNA BE. IT IS A FIELD OPERATORS PACK WITH ROOM FOR A LAPTOP. JUST TO EASE ANY WORRIES IT COMES WITH A KIDNEY BELT THAT HAS SLOTS TO HOLD A TON OF LARGER SIZED BULLETS. (THIS WAS A BONUS SURPRISE THAT WAS UNEXPECTED) THE BAG ALSO ADJUSTS TO A VERY LARGE SIZE BIGGER THAN EXTRA LARGER. IM GUESSING 2 XL WILL BE COMFORTABLE. THE BAG ALSO HAS 3 HOLES COVERED BY A DURABLE VELCRO FOR HYDRATION TUBES ONE ON EACH SIDE AND ONE IN THE MIDDLE. THE HANDLE IS QUITE RUGGED AND COMFORTABLE. I WAS ACTUALLY CONCERNED THAT IT MAY IRRITATE THE HAND BUT IS A SOFT YET DURABLE RUBBER. THERE ARE TONS OF PLACES TO CLIP THINGS AS I DO WITH MY WORK I.D. PLACES ALL OVER THE BAG. THE POCKETS AND COMPARTMENTS ARE NUMEROUS BUT NOT RIDICULOUS TAKING AWAY FROM SPACE. FINALLY ON THE FRONT OF THE PACK IS THE SOFT VELCRO MATERIAL (NOT THE BRISTLES) IF YOUR CREATIVE WITH VELCRO YOU CAN ATTACH ITEMS HERE WITH, IF NEEDED. SO THIS ITEM GETS 5 STARS AND I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND ANYONE FROM A MILD WALKER,TRAVELER, HOSPITAL WORKER, SERIOUS HIKER, OFFICE WORKER, DEPARTMENT STORE EMPLOYEE, FAST FOOD EMPLOYEE, FISHER MAN, MILITARY PERSON, OR HOMELESS PERSON TO GET THIS PACK. ITS GREAT FOR EVERYONE! BUY THIS BAG! SERIOUSLY FOR THE PRICE ITS OUTSTANDING! I DID MY HOMEWORK AND SHOPPED AROUND SIZE, MATERIAL, QUALITY AND PRICE COMPARED.....HANDS DOWN GOOD DEAL!--------UPDATE JULY 2 2014--------AFTER USING THIS PACK DAILY I CAN STILL TELL YOU IM VERY VERY VERY HAPPY WITH THIS BAG. IT IS ON THE BIGGER SIDE OF A MEDIUM PACK BUT I STILL CRAM IT IN MY LOCKER AT WORK, EVERY DAY. IT GETS SNAGGED AND PULLED ON THE SIDES OF THE LOCKER, THROWN IN MY CAR, FILLED TO ITS MAX.....SHOES,CLOTHES,SUPPLIES,LAPTOP (AND LAPTOP CASE! YES IT FITS!) FOOD ALL MY REDBULLS, EVERYTHING. I CUT OFF THE ZIPPER ATTACHMENTS AND USED PARACORD TO MAKE EXTENSIONS. NOT ONLY DOES IT LOOK GREAT BUT IS FUNCTIONAL FOR QUICK ACCESS. I LOVE THIS BAG AND WILL BUY AGAIN!--------UPDATE AUGUST 22 2014-------THIS IS MY 90 DAY REVIEW FOR THIS PACK. THIS PACK IS AWESOME! IM STILL USING IT EVERYDAY AND EVERYONE LOVES IT AS MUCH AS I DO. AFTER ATTACHING PARACORD TO THE ZIPPERS FOR EASY ACCESS AND STITCHING THE HANDLE SECURELY IN PLACE THIS BAG HAS BECOME A RUGGED, RELIABLE, ROOMY, COMFORTABLE PART OF MY EVERYDAY LIFE. IT LITERALLY TRAVELS EVERYDAY WITH CLOTHS, FOOD, SHOES, SUPPLIES AND MORE. PLENTY OF POCKETS AND FUNCTIONALITY. GOOD TO GO. I STILL GIVE TWO THUMBS WAY UP!! DANG WHAT A GOOD PACK!!.... SEE YOU IN 6 MONTHS!!

I ordered this bag as my everyday carry to work/bugout bag.....and it performs flawlessly in both areas. It handles semi-heavy weight very well, and when the straps are adjusted properly it almost feels like a natural extension of my body.....i was able to fit all of the basic survival stuff in it (grabber all weather blanket,paracord, water bottles, g.i. tanto (i chose to carry this one in case for some reason the police ever take it, it is a cheap yet very functional knife for short term puposes), flashlight, lighters, sol bivvy bag, medical supplies,and some food.....and i still have plenty of room for a spare change of clothes and lunch for work. I shower, and change at work, so i always need full sets. And believe it or not there is even room to spare! The compression straps work well (i ride the bus to work, so being able to compress the whole thing is great for fitting it in tight places)....also there is no way the main shoulder straps will ever break at the top, instead of being sewn to the bag they are PART of the bag. I am a big guy, 6 ft, 225lbs, and i have wide shoulders. It should be noted that in order to carry all this weight and have the straps feel right i need to use the chest strap. The waist belt is detachable so i have that folded up inside the bag, im not even sure why because i cant see needing it, the bag feels perfect with only the chest strap, even when jogging it doesnt bounce much. Im not sure if it is due to christmas or what but i have noticed a twenty dollar price jump since i bought this thing two months ago. I payed fifty for mine. I have noticed that happen with other things on amazon lately too. Anyways, i would highly recomend this bag for any purpose u may need it.it is roomy comfortable and durable as all hell. What i like to call apocalypse proof.Update!!! (June 23, 2016) I use public transportation to get to work every day and have put it thru quite a bit in the 3 plus years I have carried it. I am still carrying it to this day, although it is about time for a replacement.....the only thing that didn't stand up too well is the thin material walls on the INSIDE have kind of disintegrated. they became detached from the bag and are ripped open. But all of the straps and zippers and heavy material on the outside has held up impressively well. I will most likely buy the same exact bag, tho maybe in a different color. I still give this bag five stars and two thumbs up. I have for sure gotten my money's worth and it has served me well over the thousands of miles it has traveled on my back(I average about 25 miles a week) rain, snow, heat, you name it.

For the product I give it 4.5 stars out of five. It is very sturdy. I had one problem with the buckle for the waist belt. It broke before i got to use it. But the rest of the bag is heavy duty and sturdy. I ended up using a buckle from one of my other Military packs. I give the Seller MARSALES a 5 Star rating because i told them what happened with the buckle and they immediately asked if the could send me a replacement. So i sent a photo with a ruler to show the size of the buckle. MARSALES contacted FOX outdoor and gave them the info and poof i had a new buckle, FOX sent MARSALES a 1.25 in buckle instead of the 2.25 buckle that i had sent them a photo of. Thank you again MARSALES for doing a fantastic job. I will post an update after i have gone through a field problem with it.I am currently in my first Field Exercise with this pack. It is still going strong. I use it everyday for travel to and from work. I have had it loaded down with over 65 lbs worth of gear/paperwork and it still held on strong. I don't think the pack was rated for that kind of load because one of the should seams is showing a little wear but I think I can get another year out of this pack for daily use. I highly recommend this pack for Military/Paramilitary use. I burn through packs that are military grade all the time and this one is on par or above that standard.

This bag as by far exceeded my expectations as far as build quality and functionality. I have exceeded 60 lbs in this bag and had no issues. Lot of room also for whatever you want to carry. Handles on top and sides are also useful when grabbing it whatever position it sits. Only bag that I don't think twice grabbing the straps also.
