SOC bugout I bought in 2012 in lower left corner. Bought it in 2012. Fought in Afghanistan and Iraq with it on my back, then slummed it up in Europe for a few years after I got out. It's also been my go to pack for countless excursions in the Rockies. Got bored and had too much free time on my hands so I re-upped into the national guard for shits and giggles. It serves me well still to this day. I've done every bad thing you can possibly do to a pack in every conceivable environment and it hasn't ever failed me.
I hear that the newly produced versions of this model suck as they have dropped in quality but that's from one person I know who had a zipper break so idk how accurate that info is.
