Other sites are selling this bag too but the link provided seems to be the cheapest.

Two things that concern me would be it doesn't seem to be waterproof judging by the descriptions and it is a little too big for a carry-on.

Some of the reviews said the bag stinks like nylon really bad, "I'll leave it in the garage for a month before even thinking about bringing it into the house".

With all that said I am going to need a backpack for my travels and sure beats spending $200. Can anyone confirm if it's waterproof or not?

Edit: doesn't seem to be waterproof

A similar bag I came across in case anyone's interested.

Midnite thanks for the suggestion.

So I looked into the first pack and it's 600 D Polyester:

" The 600d polyester means 600 denier. It is a fabric widely used in the manufacture of bags, industry and garments. It has features that include, it is waterproof, anti-static, tear resistant and flame retardant."

I also found this,

"Is 600 denier polyester more waterproof than 200 denier polyester?
Answer
waterproofing depends by the type of the weave and chemical treatment at the time of
finishing of cloth. Denier refer only for fineness/ thickness of fiber,filament and yarn."

So it may or may not be waterproof but I'm tempted to get the first one as like you said it is pretty bad ass. Good looking out

I have never had issues bringing hiking backpacks for carry-on.
My guess is that they'd only have problems with it if you're a big fatty.

a huge nylon backpack that would rip if loaded to maximum capacity vs this http://www.lapolicegear.com/diplomat-3-d...pack1.html

How do you know the backpack is really "worth" $200? And if it is worth that much, why are they being sold for $25? They could put that it was worth $500.

After reviewing a few, the LA police gear backpack seems to be the best choice for me.

The first one is bit too much with the tactical stomach straps and whatnot. The reviews also say that it can start to smell really bad once wet.

I just need something to tool around school with and not look like a school shooter. The LAPG seems to have nearly all the features of the first one in a more well-designed, consolidated package.

Also, not sure if you guys care, but the LAPG backpack has MOLLE webbing for carrying all sorts of stuff like pouches, canteens, knives, etc. Definitely a plus. It also has rave reviews, almost too good...

This is why I like the forum. That's a great deal too. Might get that one when I don't want to stand out.

Post: #15

The thing about the LAPG is that if you read the reviews they all sound like the same person wrote them lol. They are praising the backpack a little too eagerly.

Nonetheless ill order one in a day and let you guys know how it goes.
