@50TNCSA it was the work of maxpedition? never heard of. well I know that the material is made in Taiwan, but Chinese workers are not to blame, but the bosses who only want money and the rest can go fuck. spec ops does not seem bad. but should have a smaller bag around with 20 liters and have more storage. simply because the pack has only space, lack of room for smaller things. thanks
@7onathan1 b4 you spen you money on a company that take legal actions against forums for talking about bad customer services go to amazon or optics planet and you can get it for around 130 t0 170 dollars unless its in multicam then its extra
I read someone online say that they heard that these Spec-Ops T.H.E. packs are getting an update. But he didn't say what the updates were going to be...
How do you like your Red Rock pack i bought one a while back and stuffed a couple things in it but haven't taken in camping or any place else yet. Does it hold up pretty well? Mine was 45 dollars.
@ele21ification Truthfully, I hate it now. When I bought it I thought it was amazing. I going take the stuff off my tac vest and put them on it. and now it sucks. The mesh pouch inside the main compartment the top ripped out, The shoulder straps are ripping out. And I mean, I don't put a ton of stuff but I have a decent amount.. Laptop, rip off first aid bag(I'm a firefighter) Admin pouch, Utility pouch for a rain coat and gloves. Normal stuff. But over all I'm saving up for a 511 pack.
I'm not a huge fan of Spec-Ops gear, but their website has the tri-color desert (DCU) camo T.H.E. pack on clearance for $99. Just a heads up for you all.
I think it was a good video. Spec-Ops makes GREAT gear. I have personally used Spec-ops gear in combat. If I had my way ALL my gear would be From them. I have tried other companies products, as you can see on my channel, and, well, you get what you pay for. This will be my next bag. Along with Spec-Ops Rat Pack.
This, in my opinion, is an example of a big problem with our made in the U.S.A. products. They may be made with a little higher quality in materials and craftsmanship. There may be a little more thought in the construction...but at the end of the day when you can go get a "tactical" $30 Jansport type pack and have money left for 2 Kabars the difference just isn't enough to make people buy this thing usually.
ya, why do so many people think they know quality gear? just because your other pack has zippers and all the pockets doesnt mean that its the same quality. im sure you can shop around and find a smokin deal. but if you pay attention he talks about how the pockets are not only meant to hold things, but they make it user friendly by making it easy to see into it, better zippers, the list goes on and on. you dont like it buy something else, but this is still better.uget what u pay for
I don't know how much it costs but My Camelbak Motherlode is clearly way way way better, in so many ways I won't bother to list ... The SpecOps has flimsy straps and belt with less than half the padding and no molded venting, just for starters ... I can see over 20 features that the Spec-Ops is missing ... Lame ! Anything over $38 and you are getting ripped off ... A cheap and flimsy build which must be targeted at noobs with no clue ... Motherlode or BFM are 1000% better ! (in every way)
@phrankus2009 dude, i looked at your chan, ya i wouldnt take your opinion on something i dont even know you own.it doesnt look like you own anything at all related to this sort of gear. put a vid up of it. unless you just like to go around talkin crap in the comments like all the other idiots. it makes you look foolish when you talk but dont back up what you say with a good video demonstration.
@bigguns1233 What the hell does an Officer at Ft. Hood have anything to do with anything we talked about so far??? Lad? Now you're Irish... So far you have made less sense than a frog with tits... IDF troops sew their own gear LMFAO! I bet you are the best sewer in the whole fucking battalion. Thanks man, every time I see an Isreali tank I'm going to picture four guys inside sewing their asses off LMFAO! Fucking Jews are awsome!!! Sew like the wind my IDF bretheren!
@bigguns1233 Civi life and active duty are two different things??? Well no shit captain obvious! How the hell would you know how much 200 dollars is anyway Mr IDF? Spec Ops has been sold at military stores for years. Got all mine at Ft. Hood in 04. You say it's crap because it was made by civilians? Guess what, God didn't make your shit. Civilians did... You talk like you are 14 maybe 15? Come clean Son... IDF? really? You are out there every day patrolling? Then Youtube right?
@bigguns1233 I carried a spec ops holster, ruck, and several ammo pouches in Iraq. The only complaint I had was the velcro on the ammo pouches was not the greatest. It stood the test of battle and I still use them daily at my civilian job(not the leg holster). OIFIII 04-05 Alasad, TQ, Ramadi. If the pack is not a good size for you, then try a different size. There isnt room in the hmmv for four packs that size and the gear you need for patrols anyway. You don't make sense
@bigguns1233 Obviously you are not a military man. Spec Ops IS quality battle rattle. If you want walmart gear then by all means. In the mean time, grab a controller and STFU son...
Heard that... I owned a M.O.U.T. rig that was used in Afganistan.. I washed the sucker and it was like new.. SPEC-OPs make the best in durable afordable gear you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else.. All the shit talkers, please... Get back to that controller now....
@GearBuyersGuide the bosses are bastards, they transfer their businesses to China to make more money. this is an issue increasingly administrators cheap labor / more money. some things madein china are good for the price. to pay 40 for a bag and last three years is good, anyway I'm not use to do the same bag for more than 3 or 5 years
I have one T.H.E. in black for two Weeks now. And thats by far the best Pack I ever had. High Quality, very comfortable! I use fit or Outdoor and EDC. Excellent Pack! I have also the Rat Pack and some other Pouches. These also very great.
My brother was a U.S. Marine too and did not bring home his actual bag he used, but he did buy another one in Iraq. (He racked up so much money from poker there that apearently he was ordered to guy buy stuff otherwise it would be a huge hassle transfering the money back to the states.) anyways though, this pack, just from I can look at when we hang out IS AWESOME. If I had the money I would buy something like this in a second.
LOL, you have no idea what you are saying.. this pack is great, I own one and use it.. you see a picture and talk like if you are an expert.. what a joke
@GearBuyersGuide Ditto that. I have two of these and they are by far and away, the best pacl of their type on the market. They are made in the U.S.A., and they are virtually indestructable. The zippers are much larger than on other packs of similar design and the material is much thicker. They have a pack frame insert you can get with metal stiffeners, too. This pack allows one to carry a great deal more than the video may suggest. fitted with a variety of pouches, it is a very capable pack.
@superassassin47 I think Maxpedition backpacks are more worthy than this, construction wise. Both Spec-op and Camelbak do not have the strap that runs from the front all the way over on shoulder straps, Maxpedition ones have and that add a lot of durability to the pack.
@nemesiscavalry I think Maxpedition has well intended designs, but their build quality is terrible compared to the T.H.E. and other Spec-Ops equipment. Maxpedition's Tac-Ties stink on ice, and their threading comes apart.
The T.H.E. is built like a tank. We go through a lot of equipment and have tried about all that is out there and BDS Tactical, Spec-Ops and some TAG gear has proven to be the best.
@MurderedByMidgets, you can get it at Amazon for $150, free shipping, and I bet is even cheaper at AFEES.
I doubt you can make a pack in the USA with this quality for under a dollar. This is not Burger King or Cheap-China-made. It's a lifetime guaranteed piece of tactical equipment made in the USA. I have one and I love it, worth every penny I paid.
I carried one in Coyote Tan in Iraq and another one in ACU state-side. Great pack. By itself it has less room than a medium ALICE, but you can lash, tie or add MOLLE pouches to more than make up.
@GearBuyersGuide well i was watching top sniper 2 and they said it takes 40 min for NV to come back that's why they take a brake when the sun gos down and a lot can happen in 40 minutes
Just bought the same pack made by Spec-Ops at a local Army surplus store for $55.00 (used but great shape). Stoked to see that it was a good buy. Looks and feels to be a good pack. Mine will be a day or maybe up to two night pack. Too bad sumer is almost over
hey man i bought the pack and i love the thing!!!! i packed it out full and it easily holds a weeks worth of junk ^_^ it cost about an arm anda leg but the quality of this bag is worth it thhanx bro!!!
Could you guys do a video about the spec ops SOB pack? I'm looking for something to put on my molly vest. right now I'm thinking about just running 2 5.11 10.6 pouches.
Just a thought -- I doubt anyone would try to copy a pack by watching YouTube reviews for trade secrets. It would be quite easy and much more effective to simply GET one of them and disassemble it! I personally don't think you need to worry about giving away trade secrets ;)
@CmGHaures we get issued shit way better in my opinion... nowadays we do i actually think this is a shitty ass pack the ones we have have mmore straps and pads and have built in camelbaks so.... yeah
Why are you worried about other people copying the Spec-ops pack? Other companies will copy the pack by actually putting their hands on one, not by watching your videos dude. By witholding certain critical information pertaining to the construction of the pack you are only leaving your audience uninformed. Way to fail dude.
The Inside slip pocket that the narrator said was for a hydration bladder is actually where you install the "THE Frame". The Frame is a stiff plastic internal frame that also uses two aluminum struts to allow the user to distribute the wieght of much heavier loads. Of course you can use the pocket for a hydration bladder, but that's not its intended use.
had this pack for 3 months now and its been tested in all kinds of ways and still looks as good as new its a little weighty but i can live with that i would say it worth the money as if anything goes wrong with it spec ops will replace it as it has its life time warranty also got the pack rat with it and have been very impressed with that aswell and the the wallet jr is built to last aswell i would recommend spec ops brand if want quality and some thing that will last
Great Job on your review. I have 1 ea. of these in OD & Woodland. They're strong yet light, adn move with you. I have a couple of BH packs and they are made too rigid and heavy compared to these.
I like Max too, but nothing about this bag has made me think it cost too much
It's VERY well made, and it works great, zippers almost open automatically, I've only used it a few weeks but I can see where the small details were really thought out on these
I don't get paid either way you go, but I'd urge you to keep looking at these
Well that's good to know. I have the Spec-Ops T.H.E. Wallet Jr / The Mini Cargo Pocket Organizer / and the Pack Rat. All high quality products so...I will definitely consider the Spec Ops T.H.E. Pack before I make any final decisions on which one to get. I do really like the fact that is made in the USA. Thanks for the honest input.
My brother carried this pack in Iraq as US Marine. He [pack] went though the shit in a Recon Platoon daily. It has battle scars [hit by metal fragments] from mortar. This pack was apart of him & he counted on it everyday. He made it home safe, pack included. He gave the battle tested pack to my son who uses it everyday. From bullets to book, hands down a HIGH QUALITY pack which is worth the price and then some...
watched all of your spec ops...reviews....its is sold here in canada..and was not sure as to the brand and other such stuff....just not sure about it...good to c this review..have to look into it perchusing a few items...good reviews
my camel back mule is the same size and it's like half the weight of my maxpedition condor ii!! if this helps i carry an mre
folding saw and MSR MiniWorks EX in the main compartment i think it would work as an ultralight survival or overnight kit or a minimalist bug out bag!!
I'm not trying to imply that this pack is not well made, because it obviously is. I'm just saying for $200 they could have added some more features. For starters, why not throw in a hydration bladder. All of the camelbaks in that price range come with one.
Also, I would like to see detachable straps although thats not a that big of a deal, but the back panel has nothing on it just flat and plain. How about some padded mesh ventilation. One other thing that I've seen which is kinda cool is molle webbing inside the pockets, which I think is a really awesome feature and just adds to the level of customization. I like spec-ops I have some of their stuff, but for what you're getting, this pack is way over priced in my opinion.
this pack seems tuffer but looks like cheap backpack. Only big pockets and not good organization, i think the maxpedition condor its better option

Camelbak is the best and the Maxpedition is almost as good (Tho a bit pricey).
Anyone with two brain-cells and 20/40 vision can easily see the difference. COMPARE !
There is a very good reason why the Camelbak and Maxpeditions weigh 2x as much ... Durability 1

Good bag for a shooter too.. I didn't realize the gap between the two pouches is to rest your rifle in

Just a thought -- I doubt anyone would try to copy a pack by watching YouTube reviews for trade secrets. It would be quite easy and much more effective to simply GET one of them and disassemble it! I personally don't think you need to worry about giving away trade secrets ;)

Why are you worried about other people copying the Spec-ops pack? Other companies will copy the pack by actually putting their hands on one, not by watching your videos dude. By witholding certain critical information pertaining to the construction of the pack you are only leaving your audience uninformed. Way to fail dude.

I forgot to mention, that I have a few spec-ops brand products and they are all top-notch quality.

The Inside slip pocket that the narrator said was for a hydration bladder is actually where you install the "THE Frame". The Frame is a stiff plastic internal frame that also uses two aluminum struts to allow the user to distribute the wieght of much heavier loads. Of course you can use the pocket for a hydration bladder, but that's not its intended use.

had this pack for 3 months now and its been tested in all kinds of ways and still looks as good as new its a little weighty but i can live with that i would say it worth the money as if anything goes wrong with it spec ops will replace it as it has its life time warranty also got the pack rat with it and have been very impressed with that aswell and the the wallet jr is built to last aswell i would recommend spec ops brand if want quality and some thing that will last

Great Job on your review. I have 1 ea. of these in OD & Woodland. They're strong yet light, adn move with you. I have a couple of BH packs and they are made too rigid and heavy compared to these.

Very nice pack...big fan of Spec-Ops brand. $219.95 is a little pricey in my opinion though. I'd probably opt for a Maxpedition pack instead.

I like Max too, but nothing about this bag has made me think it cost too much
It's VERY well made, and it works great, zippers almost open automatically, I've only used it a few weeks but I can see where the small details were really thought out on these
I don't get paid either way you go, but I'd urge you to keep looking at these

Well that's good to know. I have the Spec-Ops T.H.E. Wallet Jr / The Mini Cargo Pocket Organizer / and the Pack Rat. All high quality products so...I will definitely consider the Spec Ops T.H.E. Pack before I make any final decisions on which one to get. I do really like the fact that is made in the USA. Thanks for the honest input.

could someone please explain the difference between molle and pals attachment points
kumquatsta 2 years ago
we did a whole video on it.. basically
PAL is the webbing it's self (and the grid it's sewn in)
MOLLE is the name of the pack & pouches systems that use PALS to attach

My brother carried this pack in Iraq as US Marine. He [pack] went though the shit in a Recon Platoon daily. It has battle scars [hit by metal fragments] from mortar. This pack was apart of him & he counted on it everyday. He made it home safe, pack included. He gave the battle tested pack to my son who uses it everyday. From bullets to book, hands down a HIGH QUALITY pack which is worth the price and then some...

i have been waiting for ages for some one to review this pack
the only thing i was worried about is the weight ?
i have ordered one today
what do you think of it compared to maxpedition packs
great review
thank for the review
leethemiller 2 years ago
my camel back mule is the same size and it's like half the weight of my maxpedition condor ii!! if this helps i carry an mre
folding saw and MSR MiniWorks EX in the main compartment i think it would work as an ultralight survival or overnight kit or a minimalist bug out bag!!

I hate to play two good companies off each other.. so I won't say one is better than the other..
I have only reviewed smaller packs and pouches from Max.. and I liked all of them so far
However I also like this Spec-Ops pack, it is very well made and I like the layout
I would assume Max could (or perhaps does make) a similar pack
I REALLY like "Made in the USA" gear though, and that goes a long way for me personally

wow for 200 bucks I could get a much nicer pack than that. It's a nice pack but way over priced for what you get imo.
nickro2183 2 years ago
I would be interested in what you concider "better" for less than $200
Step up and show us
GearBuyersGuide 2 years ago
I'm not trying to imply that this pack is not well made, because it obviously is. I'm just saying for $200 they could have added some more features. For starters, why not throw in a hydration bladder. All of the camelbaks in that price range come with one.
nickro2183 2 years ago
Also, I would like to see detachable straps although thats not a that big of a deal, but the back panel has nothing on it just flat and plain. How about some padded mesh ventilation. One other thing that I've seen which is kinda cool is molle webbing inside the pockets, which I think is a really awesome feature and just adds to the level of customization. I like spec-ops I have some of their stuff, but for what you're getting, this pack is way over priced in my opinion.
