I think this should be known these packs use to cost $500 new and are US made.I picked up mine for $75 shipped to my door with the lid and radio compartment.I would highly reccomend these packs as they have just dropped in value on ebay as of recently you can score one for $35-$45 shipped to your door with the lid and radio compartment.
I had mine for 5 months and it took all i could dish out on it.And was extremely comfortable i really have no complaints.And i look forward to getting another one.Mine was stolen along with all my gear when i was thrown in jail.So i lost about $500 worth of crap.But all is well!
Here's some info on these packs.Its all ripstop meterial as well as being pretty dang water proof to boot.
I'm just posting this info as this is a killer deal on these packs compared to say a coleman pack or whatever else is in this price range.

Just search ebay for usmc ilbe.You can get the complete system now with the day pack and hydration carrier for $80 shipped it looks like.
Overall i gotta say for that little bit of money you are getting one hell of a pack.I forget what major company made these for the usmc but they are one of the big ones.
IMO if its used by marines i think its more then strong enough to take any abuse it'll see from hopping and hitching around.I really liked how well everything was made and it feels very well balanced as well as having plenty of cooling so sweat doesn't build up.
I'd say my only complaint would be their are no side pockets.But the lid has plenty of storage.
