Positive Feedback
Daysack - Its robust, comfortable and enough internal space for radio and equipment. Mag pouch- good bit of kit compatible with VIRTUS molle system and not too tight on magazines or too loose like issued pouches mag retaining bungee was good and wasn't too tight where you struggle to put over the mag.
Negative feedback
Daysack- Way too big to the point you struggle with vehicle platforms. Difficult to use with Bergan. Also too rigid which further adds to this problem.
Magazine Pouch- No negative points
Improvement suggestions
Daysack- down size slightly to resemble the size of the motherlode variant where its a larger daysack compared to the jay jays litefighter but still not too big. Make it more flexible so it would be easier to top flap for heavy carrys.
Mag pouch- No points
