Use as a daily pack. Can hold a lot when needed and compression straps keep it small when I don't need all the space. Traveled easily for a week but also does great on the train to work.

Great pack - but consider a BFM instead

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2020

Prior to purchasing this pack, I owned a HAWG and a Sparta, but I wanted something bigger for weekend-length hikes. I felt that the BFM would be just too big for my taste, so I tried out the Motherlode. The five stars are for the quality of the product itself - Camelbak makes amazing packs!

But - if I were to make a recommendation to buyers, I would consider a BFM instead - depending on your needs. The Motherlode is basically a stripped down BFM - it's missing the side water bottle pockets of the BFM, does not have the hefty waist belt and does not have the futura harness. The motherlode is a great pack for people who want to customize their side pack MOLLE (and of course the ability to totally remove side pockets), and don't care about the futura harness or the hefty waist belt.

The BFM will be a better choice for people who are using this for hiking and that sort of thing. The harness system on the BFM is the best i've seen on a military pack - it is fully customizable to your torso size and the waist belt holds your pack weight a lot better than the Motherlode will. And the water bottle pockets on the side mean I don't need to purchase extra MOLLE packs for the side , which I'd be putting water bottle holders on anyways.

When all was said and done, I ended up returning the Motherlode for the BFM, but I think both packs are great and it really depends on your needs.

Best backpack i've had

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2022

Very comfortable, 40 lbs feels like nothing in this. Distributes weight well. I use it for school and rucking. Sturdy construction and I love having a camelback accessible at all times.

Organizational overload!

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2020

Perfect for what I do! Fits a large 3 ring binder, rain jacket, snacks, all my EDC essentials, and a MacBook Pro. I keep my laptop in the back zippered bladder pocket for added protection from the foam lining and also easy access. Tons of pockets makes for better organization! I like that the space grows tall rather than outward so it’s more conformed to my body and more evenly distributed the weight. Great pack!

Not what they used to be

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 7, 2021

Full screw gen in training was that they’d last a minimum of 10 years [insert afgan dit from a bloke who never left bastion] in actual fact the thing looked battered after 6 months. Granted it’s had a short but hard life. I expected better. Actual robustness doesn’t match up with what i’d heard. Also you can’t take the plastic bit out the back so you can’t roll it up to double fist it into your bergen so it had to go.

Well manufactured and designed pack

Reviewed in Australia on November 19, 2020

I could write an essay on what I like about this pack and how good it is. Simply put, it's just a well put together pack from buckles and zips to stitching and design. Some people complain about comfort levels as it's a "longer" pack. I'm 6'7 (200cm) so it sat nicely on my shoulders and along the back. Haven't had comfort issues yet. Waist belt is not designed to be load baring on hips (it could be, depending on your body size but if you manage to get it on your hips its's not padded). Rather I feel it's designed for strapping pack to your body during activity (eg. climbing, cycling). Water bladder is modular and high quality which is what CamelBak is know for. The pack looks much better in person then over pictures and my concerns that the front pocket (organizer section) was too skinny and would not fit much gear was misplaced. It's a good size pocket for it's intended purpose. Webbing / molle is very good, I'm now a fan of lasercut as it holds gear closer and more securely to the pack (but it's a little fiddly to install accessories).

Now! Couple small things:

1: Side molle is only 4 row high. This is NOT high enough for the (only) CamelBak molle accessory, the
Camelbak - Max Gear Bottle Pouch Coyote (1754201000), Tan. This means the bottle pouch kind of flops outwards and around when attached and not only looks aesthetically awkward it also is kind of floppy on the edge of the pack during hikes etc. Mounting the bottle pouch properly on the front of the pack works really really well and it's wide enough to take two of them. RECOMMED using side molle for smaller pouches only (eg. small Med Kit.) Designers should have made the side molle ~7 rows high for better accessory support.

2: NOTE this is not with the bag itself, but with the fact the CamelBak does not have a range of accessory pouches which is a little frustrating because you have to use other brands and their materials and colors don't quite match. This is a really an opportunity for CamelBak to provide a "solution" with several more accessories. If anyone from CamelBak reads this... happy to field test these for you if you make some :)

3. Waist belt doesn't seem to stow inside the pack. I couldn't figure out how to push it into the very narrow cavity and cavity is too small to fit the buckle. It's basically it's just a Velcro roll up solution. So you always have the rolled up hip belt dangling at the side about an 1 inch from the pack. Pack "features" suggest it would be stowable aka hidden as its commonly done. Not a biggy, but would have been nice to stow it entirely hidden.

I've not been able to source this version (Tan) in Australia (limited suppliers, limited stock), so the freight took a little while from the US. Overall very happy with this product.
