>>2857750>they are rugged bags but designed so that you have to get accessory pouches by defaultyeah, that always irked me with military style backpacks, and especially with savotta. their stuff looks nice, but their backpacks are super minimal in their features and having the adaptability is a sort of "selling point" for them, BUT they are already super expensive for what they offer and they weigh a ton, and then on top of that you have the option to buy small pouches, that for their size, are even more expensive and weigh even more, so you can have basic functionality that should be there to begin with.
i bought a maxpedition backpack 10 years ago and while the idea of adding pouches to the outside was nice and may have played into why i originally bought it, i never actually ever bothered buying anything extra for the backpack. i think it makes more sense to find a backpack that already has all the features you want.
i dont think i will buy a military backpack again. the maxpedition served me well, but i dont see the point anymore. other backpacks do their job just as well
