The Best Rugged Backpack? - Carhartt Review

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Backpacks come in all shapes and sizes, but which one is best for you? Often, different days will require unique capacity needs and a modular backpack system might just be the solution. For example, every day is different in the world of construction. Some days I'm working in the office on change orders, others I'm hiking miles into the woods to survey train tracks. Winter, summer, snow, rain, it doesn't matter- the work doesn't stop.
So that means the gear I need changes drastically. Some days it's just a laptop, others it's rain gear, tools, and food for a 12 hour shift. The problem has always been bringing everything I need without carrying a suitcase. The Carhartt Cargo Series of backpacks seeks out to solve this problem for good.

Reviews of clothing, boots, and accessories for men, along with style advice and life philosophy. I've been working with my hands for my entire life as a mechanic, tow truck driver, and eventually a licensed electrician. Being a blue collar guy, I look for certain elements in a product: is it durable? Is it high-quality? Will it perform well over its service life? Whether boots, pants, jackets, or tools I believe it's best to buy once and cry once by getting the best you can afford. With so many options these days, choosing the best product can become a difficult decision, but that's where I come in. Helping you stay stylish, rugged, and handsome.
I don't care where it's made as long as it's made well, and allows you to buy less and buy better.

    Have you done a review on the man pack??? It's rather unique... It has a place for concealed carry and or body armor plate 1 wearing as a backpack... Of course that is just one of its many uses... I purchased a desert sand colored one, thanking the interior would have the same desert sand nylon lining... That is really my only complaint is all their colors contain a black nylon lining... Which makes it difficult locating your stuff when most stuff is tactical black now IE: flashlights... It's a minor complaint but I've noticed you can locate your items a lot easier when the interior is of a lighter color

    I bought this bag after watching this review and was extremely disappointed in its small size. This is maybe 50-60% the overall capacity of an Ogio for example. The waist strap is extremely bulky and unable to be removed which is a huge deterrent also. The add on bags are hoaky at best and not something I’d ever use. I returned to Amazon the day I received it. The quality is okish but the size makes it nothing more than a small high school backpack to me. No external pockets for cables or cords, limited main compartment size. I’d recommend this to school aged guys but the huge waste belt bump they aren’t going to use would be a turn off for that use as well.

    I beg to differ. A lot of Tt bags are made out of 1000d cordura for their laser cut bags. And altho the outside of some of theirs are 500-700D cordura their insides are covered by a 1000D cordura layer to prevent rips. Whilst Savotta only use 1 layer throughout their packs if im correct. So it comes down to taste but to assume tt looks B grade compared to that is just insane...
