First Tactical Unisex Tactix 1-day Plus Backpack Tactix Backpack 1Day Plus (pack of 1)

A large very well constructed pack with many useful features. This is a large pack that can be a challenge to set up in a configuration that fits you best. I wrestled with the adjustable back harness for quite a while before I got it just right. The zipper pulls are a little weedy, especially for the number 10 YKK on the main compartment; however, easily fixed by moving things around, the plastic pulls are better suited to the smaller number 8 / 7 zippers. As others have mentioned the hardware is very good and the attention to detail is very pleasing – if you like well-designed and well made things you’ll love this bag. I do feel it is an acquired taste in terms of carry (the back straps are quite wide and particularly smaller torso / frames will appreciate the excellent chest strap to help compensate for the wide straps). This style chest strap (outdoor backpack) is seldom seen on technical style packs and it is a welcome break from tradition. The fabric and stitching is all top notch; and my usual reservation about lots of exposed ‘proofed’ outer fabric is countered by much of the pack fabric being lined. The main problem with non-lined (exposed) proofed fabric is that the proofing (e.g. polyurethane coatings) inevitably fails with abrasive wear and flakes into the pack – re-proofing is a pain and it is difficult to achieve a good results without stripping the remaining coatings off. This pack has taped seams for the vast majority of the pockets, the only exception being one small unbound area in one of the front pockets. The seam taping is a big part of keeping a pack in good shape for years. Overall I’m happy with the design and functionality of this pack. I do have reservations about the weight of the pack (all that durability has a penalty). It can take a lot of equipment, but that just piles on the weight and that is probably the biggest limiting factor of this packs volume – practically you can comfortably carry less because of the relatively high starting weight. I think I can ultimately live with it because it is nice to have the extra volume for rain shells and insulation without having to squash everything down into a tiny stuff sack. I will keep this review updated as my use of the bag increases. I am currently using it with an osprey rain cover (small) which fits nicely into the bottom zipped pocket. Like others I would like to have seen another compression strap on each side – this is a big pack that needs to be volume reduced at times. It is hard not to love this pack; it’s a big friendly whale of a bag that with good packing will easily make a cracking 72 hr. bug-out bag.

J'adore les sacs de qualité et celui-ci, c'en est clairement un. Je sais déjà qu'il me mènera loin (ou l'inverse...) Je connaissais déjà first tactical sur les sacs à dos car je possède un modèle plus petit (le specialist half day pack en noir dont je suis hyper satisfait, et je suis exigeant sur le matériel). Nylon costau, standards militaires, résistance à l'abrasion, aux petites pluies (il n'est pas étanche ne rêvez pas), des tonnes de poches, il est fonctionnel, bien fini, sexy. Le compartiment principal s'ouvre en totalité, c'est excellent pour organiser ses affaires. Il contient également 2 pochettes filet munies de bande velcro, très pratique. Des poches de partout etc. bref la vidéo de propagande de first tactical à ce sujet sera bien plus parlante. Pour barouder, pour traîner, pour emporter ses gadgets au quotidien, en opex, il est idéal pour des grosses journées voir même 2 jours selon si vous êtes plutôt voyageur light ou voyageur geek. Le compartiment arrière prend sans problème un gros ordi portable 15", pour du 17 je ne sais pas mais j'ai un doute car l'ouverture est étroite. Pas de ceinture ventral fournie. Possibilité de rajouter des sangles sur le dessous du sac (pour tapis, duvet etc), des passant sont prévus. Le fond contient une petite poche zippée qui permettra par exemple de rajouter une mousse ou une raincover, très pratique. En ajoutant des poches molle, on peut en faire un sac extrêmement complet pour des raids de 3 à 4 jours (trousse survie, porte gourde, poches diverses) mais le confort de portage risque de s'en trouver impacté. Le coloris coyote est conforme à la photo. Pour 118€ fdp compris au lieu de 179€ dans nos contrées, j'ai fait l'affaire du siècle. Cependant, je ne pense pas qu'il mérite de dépenser les 180€ demandés sans ceinture fournie, ni poche à eau, on paye surtout le design lasercut à ce prix... Il n'en demeure pas moins un excellent produit.

Let me start by saying I am not in the military nor am I a contractor in the field. I am however a person who carries a backpack everywhere with a lot of crap inside. Kinda like an office on my back. This pack replaces and old NorthFace Surge that refused to die. I retired it anyway and moved into the Tactix. After two weeks of research I finally found the pack that would hold as much as the NorthFace. It is well thought out and everything about this bag screams quality. There are almost too many pockets and and places to hide stuff. Not a complaint I used every square inch of space in this thing. The straps are adjustable and I have finally got it just right for me and the load I carry. It holds my concealed carry with two clips, a laptop. rain gear, hearing and eye protection and all my other junk. The only complaint I can come up with is the lack of a water bottle pouch. I lashed a carrier to the side and all is good. Love this pack and look forward to more cool things from First Tactical. Let me say their website does not mention that this pack is made in Vietnam. I tried to buy an American made pack but they were twice the price for a pack that would be too small for my needs. Let me say that the Vietnamese make some really good stuff. This bag is sewn to perfection with not one thread out of place. I would buy this pack again but for now I am waiting to see how it holds up to the abuse I will be throwing at it. Thanks First Tactical for a 5 star design and a great quality pack. Please make and offer a waist belt for this pack. I will purchase it as soon as you make it available.

Usato in viaggio di due mesi in colombia… funzionale, resistente.. soddisfatto!!!

ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Rucksack. Verabreitung ist einfach top. Es wird sicher nicht mein letztes First Tactial Produkt bleiben.

Zaino eccezzionale, veramente ben realizzato, cura estrema dei dettagli e materiali robusti e di qualità. Ottima gestione degli interni e possibilità infinite di configurazione. Un MUST per gli appassionati e per i professionisti!
