Best Military-Style Butt pack?

[k_estela]

Out of all the makers of Military and Military-style butt packs, which is the best (best = most durable, best design, features, etc.). I am currently debating between buying either the Eagle Industries Mil style butt pack and the Special Operations Equipment pack. I have seen other manufacturers but am wondering what all of you think.

For a "standard" buttpack, the SOE will be the champ. The Eagle will last 2 lifetimes, while the SOE will last 3 and a half. Seriously, both are super durable. The SOE is more durable, so if you want to spend the extra $$, go for the SOE.

However, Eagle makes this new Mega Butt Pack. Check it out here:

Good Luck.

I've used the GI issue buttpack and have been quite pleased with it thus far, at least in terms of durability. That's not to say that SOE or Eagle don't make a quality product that will last forever. I've never had experience with their buttpacks. After MUCH abuse, the standard $20 (PX price, probably cheaper in surplus store) GI buttpack has held up quite well. Just remember, the bigger the buttpack, the harder it is to sit down, esp. in a Hummer. It also seems to put strain on my entire back. Perhaps the SOE and Eagle products don't do this.
