Maxpedition and Drago!
The 72 is bigger than I need (purposefully bought larger just in case I decide to expand my contents), but capability is awesome ..... that price tag thoughSame Bag I run. Personally my favorite.

I think the Drago is a tracker. The maxpedition is a fat boy vesipack, if memory serves me correct. It's my Murse.
One of the perks of the 72 is the ability to fit a 3L bladder (I'm still on the fence between a Camelback & Osprey) along with the expanded section that nearly doubles the pack's capacity. I liked the idea of being able to leave the bag loaded with the essentials and then shove a wad of clothing in the expanded section at the last minute without having to repack the whole bag.Yea agreed. Price tag really isnt bad if you start looking at the other bags...still a chunk of change eitherway.

I'll have to read up on them; Any idea on taste and cleaning?If your on the fence, ill help you - get a HydraPak...look into it and smile.
Yes, that is a great reason.

I have a couple maxpeditions, one a pygmy falcon and a versipack. I really like them both, the falcon could have a little bit less stuff hanging off of it (I understand it has a purpose) and the versipack I should have gotten one a little bigger. Hopefully in the next few months I will find me something similar in size and function to my Falcon that is more "gray man".
Nothing fancy here. A High Sierra with good YKK zippers. I do also have a high end Mammut bag that could be used as a secondary if needed.
My main goal was robustness, good zippers, large compartments with some small zippered pockets, and very "student" looking. It just looks like a college kids backpack. If I get another one, it'll be pink or purple ......not kidding. As long as it's built well (and the Mammut is) that's all I care about. I don't want it to look mall ninja-esque.
I'm sorry, by stuff hanging off of it I mean cords, buckles and compression straps... They all serve a purpose and that's why I went with that bag, but now I wish is was more smooth and didn't scream tactical.
Good bag. A couple of months ago you could you get them for $129. I do not know what they are now
