   Disclaimer: I bought this bag a couple of years ago and returned it. Although it looked like a good bag, some of the MOLLE loops on the sides of the pack were not full width. As a result, I couldn’t hang a water bottle holder on the bag, which was a deal-breaker for me. I returned it but always regretted it because otherwise it was a good looking bag.Recently I had an overnight trip coming up. I needed enough space for a change of clothes, a laptop, a tablet, some toiletries, and a few other odds and ends. The catch was that the bag had to conform to the carry-on dimensions of the airline I was flying (22x13x9 inches in my case) because I didn’t want to check a bag.I have an Outdoor Products backpack that I love and works well, but at 26L it’s too small for all that I was planning to carry. On the other hand, my giant rucksack would never fit in an overhead bin or under a seat. I needed something in between.I decided that not having a water bottle holder on my pack wouldn’t be a deal-breaker for this trip. I ordered the Orca pack and had it the next day.The quality of the pack is excellent. The shoulder strap are padded and there’s a grab-handle on top (which I wish every pack had). The material looks good and so do the zippers. I replaced the pull tabs on the zippers with bright orange paracord, mainly because it makes the zipper tabs easier to spot on the bag.I had originally returned this bag because there were several MOLLE loops along the sides of the pack that were too narrow to use. I’m happy to report that, at least on the bag that I bought, this problem has been corrected. The old bag tried to fit 3 rows of MOLLE loops along the side, which didn’t work. The new bags appear to have 2 rows of loops, which fit much better. I was able to hang a MOLLE water bottle holder on the side of the bag after all, which was a nice last-minute surprise. Everything else– clothes, laptop, toiletries, etc.– fit inside the bag. Some of the MOLLE loops held a pen and a Sharpie. I like that there are several pockets with plenty of organization.I was able to cinch the compression straps down enough that the bag fit neatly under the seat in front of me. It fit with room to spare (once I took my Nalgene out of the bottle carrier, that is). I didn’t intentionally abuse it but I didn’t take it easy on it either, and the bag never missed a beat.OK, so are there any down sides? The only one I can think of is the lack of a sternum strap. I’ve grown used to having one on all my bags, and it really helps to keep the shoulder straps in place, especially if I’m doing a lot of walking (or I’m on my motorcycle). I had an add-on sternum strap that I put on this bag and it works fine, but it would be nice if the bag came with one.This is an excellent travel bag if you’re taking a short (1-3 day) trip. I’m sure I could have fit at least 1 more day’s worth of clothing in it even with my laptop in there if I’d needed to. I’m glad I gave the Orca a second chance. It looks well built, I like the organization, and it’s a perfect size for most of the day trips that I take.

   I have never written a review this long, or this detailed, ever in my life. But PLEASE read this if you are considering purchasing this product.UPDATED REVIEW OF REPLACEMENT PACK FROM ClayPro Products_________________________________________Let me start off by saying this first: I have never been the type to change my mind or opinion on a matter. Unless you can provide 2 the 2 variables I need to hear/see.After my initial review of the first Orca Tactical Molle Pack I had purchased from ClayPro Products/ Tomahawk Tactical Supply Find, I never expected to hear anything back from any one representative of the company. Let alone their owner, Doug Taylor. The only correspondence between myself and the company had been from the initial transaction, a bill of sale generated to my email and my review a couple of weeks after I received it.My next correspondence came from Doug Taylor, The owner, by email. He was personally sending a replacement Molle Pack at no cost whatsoever to me, with no return shipping stipulations for the buggered up original. I could have cared less to be honest about it, but I thought hey…I’ll give it to my nephew and let him tear it up, so it was whatever at that point. Once the USPS had completely FUBAR’D shipping of the second item to a small unincorporated community in Eastern N.C. (mind you I live in the foothills of Western North Carolina), all possible doubt lingering on this product and the company were no longer an issue. These guys suck and their products suck. That’s what I had in my head.Here is where he & his company pulled a complete 180°.He emailed me consistently with an update on the status of my replacement. And kept his word that he would make sure a replacement would arrive on my porch within the scheduled delivery date and time. And he did. He stood by his word, and that was my first variable. —ON TO THE NEW BACKPACK!!—The product has one seam that has busted on the left shoulder strap. But that was from owner neglect. The stitching on the right side top Molle Ring has begun to unfray. This seems to be a manufacturing error as upon further investigation I discovered a mis-stitch/hook in the seam (I worked in textiles 4.5 years during college inspecting at Valdese Weavers).Aside from the neglect on my part, and the one mis-stitch, I have encountered NONE of the issues that I dealt with on my original purchase. And this thing has been put through hell since I got it, unlike my original purchase being babied at the time. The line of work I’m in calls for durability that can hold up through all of the elements I may face. It also calls for a design engineered for the most optimized comfort, because this pack is on me physically, 6 out of the 12-14 hours a day, 6 days a week I work. The best part of the pack is the secondary shoulder harness you can clip in to help release the weight from your shoulders if you carry a full pack.Please, consider this product before you consider the same one on another manufacturers site for 200 more. And also check out the add-ons the company sells as upgrades for their line of tactical Molle packs! I’m in the process of ordering the EMT-IFAK blowout utility pouch and multipurpose bug-out pouch for mine!———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— ORIGINAL REVIEW :: RECEIVED 2 STARS——————————————————————–Well, I DID love this tactical/molle style backpack. for the 3 weeks the stitching held together, that is. Both the top and bottom pouches on the front, their plastic zippers broke, the pull and the teeth, so I’ve held it together with the oversized safety pins I had to purchase ever since. Mind you, the items I carried in this bag were my laptop, charger, mouse,ext. HDD. I also kept 2 legal pads with pens at all times in it, 2 chargers with cables, as well as small to precision hand tools that weighed all of maybe 3 lb. at the most.But if you guys ever find yourselves in dire need of a review for extra heavy duty safety pins? I’m that guy.

   Everything is okay. The quality is good, this backpack is just what I need. I hope it will serve me at least 3 years. Will see…But the first impression is so good, that I may recommend it right now.
