After the 3FUL Koala failure I decided to try this backpack off Amazon, vest straps and two 500ml soft flasks for $16! I figured it was worth it for the soft flasks alone, and the backpack seemed viable too. Turns out, not so much. The roll top closure has a zipper in it (?!) and the material seems to be mostly polyester (fine) with presumably some gridstop on the bottom (alright). Only a tiny zippered front pocket instead of mesh pouch and the side pockets are too high up to grab anything, but this was all acceptable. Except the vest straps are terrible. The mesh pockets don't stretch at all, and the yoke digs into my neck with nothing in it. Just the absolute worst straps I've ever encountered, which is a bummer as it makes the whole thing a dealbreaker. I'd still keep it for the soft flasks, but they have non-standard threads. So once again China makes something almost usable.
