I was going to point this out also. The gear is comparable in price to other high-end packs.
I'm eyeing the new Express with the molle webbing.

America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.
Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!

I'm not military, but I'm a bag junkie... I've hiked, biked and climbed for the better part of the last 30 years and I've always been on the prowl for the ultimate general use pack.. Not a multi-day pack - for that I'll carry a large backpack, several manufacturers fo these have been mentioned - but for a day, day and a half bag, that I can carry daily, carry hiking and carry biking...
I finally settled on the X-Ray... And it's been worth every penney!!!!
It can carry everything I need for daily use with ease, and it can carry a whole lot more comfortably when coupled with its waist belt. And the webbing lets me change my carry needs easily depending if I'm simply hiking, biking or doing something else that I would feel needs a different configuration.
I fell in love with the original Mtn Smith packs and was bummed when they stopped being as good as they were. I tried Maxpedition, Condor, Camelback and others... I probably won't carry another bag again, unless I want something just slightly less "military" looking, but that's only been once in the last year...
And now, all those others I thought were great are simply collecting dust in my closet...

I have the Zulu with all the goodies. If you are deep in the back country, that is when something is going to fail on other packs. Best money spent, I have no regrets. If you backpack is going to carry general camping/hiking gear then maybe look elsewhere. If you going to shove a broken down AR/Mags and things that are not so fluffy down inside, go with Kifaru. First rate pack and I wanted the best.
