Cannae Pro Gear Legion Day Pack

This has been my do-it-all backpack for about four years now. I've been using it for all daily commuting essentials, a few domestic and international travel trips, beach excursions, you name it. I'm close to giving it 3 stars because for $100+ I would expect it to last longer, but perhaps that's just me being frugal. It's got all the gizmos and gadgets one would desire from a military-styled backpack, perfect size, ideal compartments numbers, comfortable hip and chest straps,, but unfortunately I would likely not consider purchasing it again due to the defective/failed zippers. Both the zippers on the main two compartments have failed in the last year and unless I get that fixed, the pack is essentially useless to me. Cannae, if you're reading this, please fix those garbage zips!

I had my eye on this backpack for a while but was struggling whether to front the money for it. I finally took the step and went for it. This backpack has not let me down at all! It is a top notch day pack. Large enough to fit what you need but not too large to carry. It has plenty of pockets and compartments to fit everything you need. Here are some of my favorite qualities about it:-Concealed carry pocket (Though the material inside the pocket is weak with velcro)-Strap reducers (each strap's excess can be rolled up and velcro'd for a clean look.)-Hidden waste strap (Backpack's waste strap can be concealed, which is awesome since I typically use this for city use. However if I were to go on a hike, this would be the first pack I grab no doubt!)-Zippers are high quality and do not jamLastly this is the most comfortable back pack I have ever owned. The way the straps connect over the neck before connecting with the bag helps distribute the weight over your entire shoulders. The chest buckles helps move the packs weight forward and makes it feel like the back pack is part of you and less of a bother. I have a pretty heaving pack (Books, notebooks, laptop, chargers, first aid, tools, gadgets and full size handgun with extra magazine.) yet this back pack distribute that weight nicely and comfortably! And that is without the waist buckle!Over all GREAT BACKPACK! I have owned it for a week and will update my review if my views change!Update: I’ve had this backpack for two years now and it is still going strong. I still use it on a regular basis and it is by far my favorite pack. No material is wearing or breaking. This thing is top quality!

For daily use on the job it held up about 1.5 years before the zippers tore. The new version lasted six months. The square corners are the weak link in this bag and for the cost I will not be purchasing another of this design.

This has all the right features that looked for. Not "in your face" amounts of Molle, Compression straps, hydration bladder compartment/lockable concealed carry compartment, side pouches, sunglasses case, laptop compartment, tiedown straps, small organization pockets, and the zipper opens all the way down. Durable and breathes, has a stow-able hip strap, chest strap, carry handle.It takes me a long time to find things like backpacks because I need to pick the right one but this one fits the bill. I take this to drill at the National Guard and to work at my office. It fits in both places and gets compliments. It fits anything, I can strap an IFAK to the outside if necessary, as well as pouches, and there are bottom compression straps for attaching things like a sleep system, shoes, extra bag, etc.Not particularly waterproof but no reason you couldn't get a waterproof backpack cover as companies sell. Its an outstanding bag that I would 10/10 buy again.

My Wife and I were looking at new day hike bags for us and I saw this on a video online. She liked it and we ordered it about the same time I got my Maxpedition. The Cannae Pro Gear Legion is soooo much better than the Maxpedition I got for myself.First off it has plenty of room. Big storage area and logical smaller admin area. No over compartmentalization like on so many "tactical" packs. This one is simple and well built.We have gone on at least 4 hikes using this pack and she really likes it. If it was just a tiny bit taller, that would have been even better but honestly can't complain. Has lots of molle points for attaching other bags so might do that for a easy snack bag for trail food.

This is one of the best deals online, IMHO. AMAZING day pack, with great features. I've bought because I have a newborn and my usual business traveling gear does not work when I'm carrying the kiddo. I guess you can call it be best diaper bag -a tactical diaper bag, in the market today. You can add all the attachments needed to carry all your baby's goodies.This happens to also have become my go to backpacking pack -I hope you didn't think my testosterone was completely replaced by estrogen, so I highly recommend speed sticks for the pouches, so you can have your dedicated parenting pouches out of the side of this pack in no time, and your camping gear right back.I'm thinking about getting a second pack so I can have them set for their specific activity.Again, this is one AMAZING pack, regardless of what your needs are, you'll be happy with it.

This is an early review but first impressions lead me to believe this will hold true. I bought this bag for multiple purposes. Bug out bag, gym bag, motorcycle pack, and all around edc. The size is more than edequate, it is actually larger than i had anticipated. It is no more bulky than a traditional bookbag except the structure keeps it tidy and it holds its form well. The zippers are smooth and seam durable. The buckles on the shoulder straps have proven very useful or taking the bag off when wearing a riding jacket. All loose straps can be secured with the integrated velcro to keep them in check while riding at highway speeds. The Internal storage and organization is versitile without a bunch of useless pockets. The concealed carry pocket holds a full size pistol without a bulge stabbing me in the back.

Ich habe den Rucksack letztes Jahr gekauft und nun eine Weile in Gebrauch. Er begleitet mich auf dem täglichen Weg zur Arbeit, auf Tagesausflüge, auf Dienstreisen und im Urlaub. Ich denke also, dass ich eine vernünftige Rezension schreiben kann.Qualität:Sehr robustes Material ohne Anzeichen von Verschleiß. Wie gesagt: täglich im GebrauchDie Reißverschlüsse laufen sauber und störungsfrei.Kleinere Verschmutzungen kann man einfach ausbürsten.Tragekomfort:Bis jetzt habe ich hauptsächlich die Schulterriemen und selten den Brustgurt verwendet. Für meine Größe (182 cm) ist das Tragesystem sehr angenehm. Die Rückenpolsterung ist genau richtig zwischen fest und weich. Durch die Lüftungskanäle komme ich auch nicht so sehr ins schwitzen wie z.B. meinem normalen daypack Rucksack von Eastpack. Den Beckengurt habe ich nur 1-2 mal verwndet wenn es längere Tragezeit mit hohem Gewicht gab. Auch das ist angenehm und lässt sich sehr gut einstellen. Die Last wird dann deutlich von den Schultern genommen.Design:Ich finde das Design (und damit meine ich nicht das Aussehen) wirklich sehr gelungen. Ich kann in der Fronttasche alle wichtigen Dinge schnell verstauen und in den zusätzlichen Reißverschlusstaschen auch Dokumente gut unterbringen. Im oberen Brillenfach verstaue ich kleineren Krimskrams an den ich wirklich schnell heran möchte. Das Hauptfach bietet ein gepolstertes Notebookfach. Dort passt mein 13" Notebook problemlos rein. Ich schätze ein größeres Notebook sollte ebenfalls problemlos reinpassen. Es gibt noch ein kleineres Reißverschlussfach im Hauptfach. Auch das ist gut für Dokumente geeignet. Das eigentliche Hauptfach ist super erreichbar, da der Reißverschluss wie ein L aufgeht und man den Rucksack im liegen von oben packen kann, praktisch wie einen Koffer. Dadurch kommt man bequem an alles was drinnen ist ohne sich von oben nach unten durchwühlen zu müssen. Durch das PALS (also die Riemen im genormten Abstand, manche meinen das wäre das MOLLE, das ist aber das Gesamtsystem...) können unzählige Zusatzdinge befestigt werden. Auf der Front gibt es noch einen Klett zum befestigen von Patches mit Kletthäckchen. Ich tausche diese gerne aus und wechsle die Patches immer wieder aus. Wie es mir gefällt.Aussehen:Ich finde es toll! Er sieht schon ein wenig martialisch aus, aber es ist halt auch ein taktischer Rucksack. Wem es also gefällt, der wird glücklich damit.Nachteil:Ich habe nur einen winzig kleinen Nachteil entdeckt. Der Reißverschluss von der Fronttasche hat um die Biegung herum einen sehr kleinen Radius um die Ecken. Wenn man nicht mit beiden Händen das öffnen oder schließen bedient, dann kann es auch mal hängen bleiben. Aber ich habe mich daran gewöhnt und ist für mich kein Hindernis dem Rucksack volle 5 Sterne zu geben.Fazit:Ich bin also super zufrieden mit dem Rucksack und kann ihn nur empfehlen. Wem das Aussehen gefällt und mit der Packgröße zurecht kommt wird sicher glücklich damit.
