I bought the lowest grade listed and was very pleased with what i received. It had some sand in it and dirt on it but cleaned up nice. No holes or tears, or anything that would prevent it from being totally serviceable.

This is a rugged tough well built rucksack. I bought the defective grade rucksack and it feels like it’s fresh and new. There are great pockets inside to stow gear and be organized. Keeps the gear nice and dry in heavy rain. Very happy with the service, speed of arrival and this won’t be my only purchase. Worth every penny.
