Bought this for a 3-day backpacking trip I was taking with my son. It worked fine for the trip, and he didn't complain. so, in that sense, this was a great value, but I think a bags at a higher price point are likely a higher quality, this one works fine for the occasional trip.It was roomy enough for 3-days worth of clothing etc. Seems fairly durable (more-so than some more expensive-but lighter-bags)We did not use the MOLLE loops. While they're nice-to-have in case you want to hook a carabiner on, you generally don't want things swinging around while backpacking, and it's best to keep the weight closer to your body and not hanging off the back of the bag.Even still, I think this was worth what we paid for it, and got us through the trip!
