It&#8217;s a $5 NAPA bargain bin special, but I like it because it has tool pockets that my tools kind of fit into. It&#8217;s a touch too small sometimes and the cheap fabric is falling apart, but at $5 I just buy another, this is my second.<\/p>\n<p>So now I have this new made in USA bag. It&#8217;s clearly made of more robust Cordura and features more compartments and a nicely padded shoulder strap. It also came with additional MOLLE pouches, one for water bottle and other three magazine pouch to attach as desired, and a holster doodad. Looks like I can make use of all of the parts except for the waist strap. I think that&#8217;s going to become spare parts.<\/p>\n<p>So the question is, is this new pack worth 16 times more than the bag I was using? We shall see.<\/p>\n<div id=\"geo-post-9432\" class=\"geo geo-post\" style=\"display: none\"><span class=\"latitude\">21.2823382<\/span><span class=\"longitude\">-157.6992571<\/span><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, SKD wrangled me with their Ninja school promo discount and a bought a couple things.
