CondorOutdoor Venture Pack (Tan)

I decided to use this bag for a couple of months before submitting my review, after 2 months of mid-duty use it's holding up fantastic. I purchased it to be a day pack while outdoors, but it's become my goto pack for everything. During the week, it's replaced my EDC bag, it carries a laptop, tool kit, 2 tablets and assorted other items without issue. Friday night it gets emptied out and becomes my day pack again. Just this past week I took it on a week long road trip, I packed this bag every couple of days out of the larger bag in my trunk. This was the only bag I carried all week.I have bags that were purchased to do each of these jobs, as I hate pulling my bag apart and rebuilding it for each different use. Yet I find myself doing it anyway as my desire to use this bag over the others is stronger.After two months of loading this bag to bulging with heavy items, it's not showing any wear. I've seen some reports of stitching coming undone on some reviews, but I can honestly say..even if this were to start on my bag tomorrow I'd just get it sewn back together.The only other thing that sticks out to me, is the way this bag has gone soft, I have a pair of maxpedition bags and a 511..and they are both as stiff and cardboard like as the day I got them. This one arrived that stiff but has softened up perfectly. Do not get me wrong, it doesn't feel like the fabric has gone weak, it just doesn't feel starched anymore.

I was looking for a new Bush crafting, 2-3 day out bag. My criteria is Tough, Easy Carry, Compartments and My Budget.There are many choices for these types of bags- with some of them costing boo coo bucks. I am not one that puts 'names' before fiscal responsibility- I stick with my criteria and budget. After a month of use, here is my opinion.The Condor Venture Pack (Tan) clicks off all of my selection points easily. From the material, the webbing to the stitching- this is a Tough pack. It came very stiff, but has soften a little bit. Well sewn, good stout materials. The pack alone is almost 4 lbs and having it loaded for 3 days out weighs 34 lbs including 1-34oz Nalgene and a 34 oz Stanley with water. The shoulder straps, chest strap and waist belt are excellent- particularly the waist belt, it sits at just the right spot on my hips. The padding on the back is also very good, with good ventilation. The lumbar pad is most excellent !When I Bush Craft, I do a lot of whittling- so I carry my whittling knives and a few sharpening supplies. I like all of the compartments this pack has instead of one big compartment that you have to dump out to get to the things you were looking for. Easily holds my 10x13 AquaQuest Tarp, extra clothes, food, fire kit, GB Kuban Axe and Banco Saw- plus a lot more. I did add two Condor pouches- One for Nalgene and one as a first aid and toiletries pouch. Very- Very pleased with this pack- and looks like it is good for the miles and adventures ahead.

I bought this as a Get Home Bag and it has more than met my expectations. The construction is excellent, especially for a pack in this price range. All of the belts and straps are easy to adjust and the pack conforms to my back and sits exactly where it should on my hips. I am 5'-9" and about 175 lbs. There are many features not advertized such as hook and loop strap holders to keep them from flapping. The storage area between the main pack body and the rear compartment is perfect for holding my rain gear and keeping it easily accessible.( I'm sure I'll find other things to fit in there as I continue to add to it.) The padded waist belt is very comfortable and has PALs (Molle) webbing to attach any molle compatible pouches, knife scabbards, or even holsters. I took a five mile hike with the pack fully loaded including a 3 liter hydration bladder, to see how it would feel if I had to abandon my vehicle and walk. The pack is so comfortable and well balanced, there was no sagging or straps loosening. Tere is a very large area of molle webbing on the back and on both sides I attached my condor H-20 watter bolttle holder on one side. I highly recommend this pack to anyone needing a day pack, a weekend camping pack, or even a three day survival pack. There is so much room and the compartments are so well thought out, that it makes is easy to organize everything without having to dig through everything to find what you are looking for Two thumbs up to Condor for a great pack..

I gave it 4 stars because i don't use it, its my girlfriends, The bag is high quality, lots of thick stitching usefull pockets, its compact and I want to get one for the gym, my 3 day is a tight squeeze in the lockers and i don't need all that space anyways. If you want a compact bag that can hold a medium amount of stuff this is the one for you. the laptop compartment outside the bag does not fit her 15 inch laptop, but the one inside does, id be lying if i said i wasnt jealous of her new bag. very nice product, everything is the right material and all pockets can be used for somthing. especially if your like me and EDC flashlight, knife, multitool, etc. n

Hopefully whomever is reading this finds this helpful the bag itself is great it has more compartments than anyone could imagine that could play an infinite amount of rolesPURPOSE: also in the images I include I have the condor bladder pouch which is tore my Klean kanteen or food the emt rip away pouch as my first aid and the pocket pouch attached to it which serves as a fire starter kit and the bag comes with a gun belt which can be removed! this is my bugout bag that I trust with my life the bag serves multiple purposes for school rucking and bugging outMATERIAL/PERSONALIZATION: The durable material makes it slightly heavy but not too much to handle and with Velcro adds just a bit for personalization to cater to your desires. This is the bag.PRICE: at any retailer store this bag is originally 90$ I checked to make sure. Get this bag.

There are a lot of pockets, enough to lose things. I have wanted this bag for awhile. I was very happy when it arrived. It is my EDC bag. Some may consider it a heavy bag. It is 1000D nylon, removable waist belt. The padded shoulder straps are comfortable. I use the sternum strap to keep the shoulder straps in place.

Very modular and sturdy. A bit heavy and contains less than one could think.
