  • 4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect except for bottle holders
Short version: I love everything about this bag except for the water bottle holders on the sides, which I wish were taller. Longer version: Use model and context: I got this pack to haul my school stuff to, from, and around campus. My usual load is a laptop, charging cables, 4-5 notebooks, a textbook or two, lunch, snacks, an extra layer, a large water bottle, and other small school items. Most name-brand schoolbags of sufficient size seem to skimp on quality or water bottle sleeves, so I've recently turned to military-style bags. I first tried a relatively inexpensive bag from Mardingtop, which was high quality but not deep enough to comfortably fit all my stuff. I bought the DA Ghost and 5.11 Rush 72 to try in parallel and see which one worked out better. Noteworthy features on the Ghost: I use one of the hydration bladder pockets (the one just in front of the back panel) to hold my laptop. This creates extra usable depth in the roomy main compartment, while giving my laptop some extra padding. I also love the "stuff-it" area between the main compartment and the removable organizer pouch. This is a great spot to put lunch, layers, or anything else that doesn't pack well. My only small gripe with this feature is the fact that it's open at the bottom, with only two alligator clips on the bottom to hold stuff in. This restricts that area for use with bulkier items. (The Rush 72 wins here because its "marsupial-style" pouch is closed on the bottom.) The zippered interior mesh pockets keep wires and smaller devices out of the way, and the dedicated sunglasses pocket on top provides easy access without need for a bulky case. While I don't see myself ever fully detaching the organizer pocket, it provides ample space and separation for pencils, erasers, snacks, and the like. It has replaced the separate pencil pouch that used to float around in the main compartment of my old bag. One unique feature that I really appreciate is the “combat vent” padding system on the back panel, shoulder straps, and hip belt. Most bags tout some sort of air-flow technology, but the Ghost is the first pack that has actually created a lot of separation between the back panel and my back, which significantly reduces back sweat when biking. The YKK zippers feel very sturdy. They don’t pull very smoothly, but this minor annoyance is only due to the zipper covers that help keep rain out. Areas for improvement: The only significant issue I have with the Ghost is the water bottle holders. While they are technically big enough to hold a 40-oz. insulated water bottle, they are a bit too short for comfort. Secure enough for biking and walking, but not running or jumping. Also, it’s a good thing that the hip belt is removable, because it’s too long for me even when fully shortened. (I’m a short guy with a small waist.) I wouldn’t use the belt for school anyway. Verdict: Although I'd take the 5.11 for wilderness survival due to its higher capacity, huge zippered side pockets for water bottles, and superior "marsupial" pouch, the Ghost ultimately seems more practical for an everyday bag. The Ghost is more than big enough to fit all my gear, but compact enough to look like a normal-sized backpack. (The Rush 72, while not uncomfortable, is enormous even when empty.) The short side pockets on the Ghost are a bit annoying, but the "combat vent" back panel is a truly helpful special feature. I'm hoping this bag will last me for many years of abuse, and I'll update the review over time. ... show more

  • 5.0 out of 5 stars And the winner is...!
For me, this proved to be, hands down, the best bug-out / survival / 72-hour bag I have found. As a rookie, I made the number one rookie mistake, which was to purchase a bag (not this one) before compiling all that I would need for the 72-hour scenario. Don't do this. I ordered a 5.11 Rush 12 and quickly exceeded its capacity with minimal gear for a 72-hour excursion. The quality of the Rush series has been well established and that bag was no exception, however it lacked space and weight management capabilities. I ran into the same issue with the Rush 24 (no waist belt). The other issue I had with the Rush series was the 1000 Cordura fabric. It is exceptionally strong, but also thick meaning that when the bag was full, it was truly full. It lacked that 'flexibility' I was looking for. With regard to pockets and organization of all of your gear (fire, filtration, first aid, etc.) all the Rush bags proved exceptional. So it all came down to the Rush 72 and this bag above. Although the Rush 72 held more gear internally than any bag I had tested (including this one), it simply was not comfortable for me once loaded. The Ghost proved to be superbly comfortable, offered adequate room and organizational capabilities and finally, allowed for dynamic customization of its function. First off, the zippers fly! They are easy to grip and never snag. Fit and finish are tough and svelte. While the Rush 72 extended laterally beyond my small frame, the Ghost just seemed to manage the contents in a more controlled way. Next, the wide straps, the air-flow along the center of my back, and the mesh with striated padding were together one of the greatest reasons I ultimately selected this pack. The Ghost just felt like an extension of myself; it moved when I moved, never swinging, and distributed weight expertly. I could go on and on but everyone has already touched on the laser-cut Molle system (awesome), its highly water-resistant construction, the color options, etc. For reference, I am 5'6", 130 pounds, and broad shouldered. When I first shouldered the pack, I was certain it would prove too large, however I found that it is so incredibly adjustable, that now it is as though it was sewn just for my frame. One last thing to add is the care that Direct Action and Amazon took in its packaging. It arrived in a large box, inside of a large Direct Action tote bag, wrapped in a plastic bag. Bottom line is that this bag is the real deal. You want to trust your bug-out-bag as you are counting on its contents to potentially save your life. I have faith in this bag. ... show more

  • 2.0 out of 5 stars Over Engineered for most people
Color: Shadow Grey Mk II
The detachable pocket - requires you to remove clips, remove ties and undo knots - not exactly quick release. The hip straps wouldn't synch tight enough for me - I am 5'10 and 170 lbs, small waist - this pack was designed for someone much larger than me I guess. I tried to adjust the straps (shoulder and hip) while the pack was on - no chance, the straps simply won't feed through the brackets, you have to take it off, use two hands with significant force. All the straps come with a Velcro tie backs, which just gets in the way and makes it harder to adjust. I am not active military or an extreme user, so cannot comment on usage for individuals looking for the pack for these purposes. I wanted the pack to carry while walking the dogs to turn my walk into a rucking activity. I loaded the pack with 20lbs and I simply couldn't get it comfortable, just not enough adjustment for my apparent tiny dimensions. Overall very disappointed with this ruck. Am sure it works great for many people and the additional engineering is warranted. If you are looking at this for weight-based rucking, look elsewhere. ... show more
