I used a 5.11 24 while backpacking in guatemala for 2 months. Use it every day to and from work and or uni. For airsoft as well. Great bag. I love the orginizational pockets within the main compartment (perma med kit in one, survival stuff in the other). Its a very rugged pack, the stitching is phenomenal. In the 3 years ive had it, ive popped 2 stitches but the backstitching is superb and no problems have come to light. The fabric it is constructed out of is super durable and the hydration compartment is a nice size and able to carry a medium laptop, any tablet, assorted essays and other papers instead of hydro if needed. The only down side i found is that its a fairly heavy bag, but what can you expect for something meant to be tossed and blown around. Its my go to bag for day long outings as it is an absolute workhorse. anything more is taken on by my osprey ruck. If i need a smaller pack I run my ares. But the 5.11 tends to do whatever I need. It can also take a lot of weight...i go for runs and load it up to 55 pounds.
