So my price range is around 150 and I can stretch that to 200 bucks for a really quality piece of gear.

I currently use a Kelty Redwing 3100 its about five years old and ready to be replaced.

I was looking for something with alot of MOLLE attachments (Maxpedition Condor II) 100 ounce bladder and at least 1750 Cubic Inches of space...but I really have no experience with the Tactical Bags (except for the ol ALICE pack which I will never carry again, for personal reasons ;))

Thanks Guys!
 
For me its my Snugpak Sleeka Force 35. Cant carry the kitchen sink, but I can pull out a 3day out of it.

From your specs, and price range, Id look at Maxpedition. They make quality stuff. A little more $$ and Id go Kifaru.
 
I just bought a FOX Rio Grande 45L bag, and I am liking it a lot.

You can certainly buy a more expensive pack, but for $35 or so, the thing is great.

couple questions to guide me in helping you.

What are you going to use the pack for?

How heavy will the pack be at it's heaviest?

Why do you want the MOLLE?
 
Another Snugpack fan here...great allaround bag...no molle though.
 
for your budget, the Tactical Tailor 3 Day pack is good. PALS webbing for attaching pouches, BLAZE ORANGE signal panel inside the pack, water bladder pocket, great harness, two ports for waterbladder hoses or antenna's, extremely good sewing, finishing and tough cordura fabric.

and its MADE IN THE USA.

I got mine in MARPAT.

Dana Gleason oversees Mystery Ranch- he is the former owner of Dana Designs packs and is famous for over fortifying packs- I've owned several DD packs and they were bombproof- literally :) he developed the Bomb pack back in the 80's for use by ski patrol folks carrying explosives :D

little spendy, but it's a pack you could likely pass on to your grand kid

For the money I really like the TT 3 Day pack Plus, its already got the extra storage and the size is just right. Lack of attachment points isn't so bad with those extra pockets. The MARPAT is nice too, I like the black, its a little lower key but still tough enuff ; )
 
Remember that you get what you pay for. The knockoff packs are not made as well.
