anyone got experience with the granite gear chief patrol pack?
the side pockets seem shit because they've got a narrow opening and are top access only so stuff gets piled on top of each other
anyway, what's your favorite ruck design type?
after having tried various my favorite design is:
>main top loading bag with clamshell opening
>outer pockets, either torpedo tubes or just pockets
>top lid with pockets
>bottom compartment for sleeping bag
>internal pockets like on MR packs that help you organize stuff
maybe if you have enough outer storage you can forego a top lid like the MALICE pack does
overall my favorite are the 6500/tactiplane and the smaller SATL, the Gregory spear UM21 seems nice too but I've never tried it
