Hey all. I'm a reservist, but no matter how hard I beg, I just cannot get a small pack issued to me. I'm sick of having to take my ruck for a simple overnighter when there's no need to bring the valise, and I'm looking for something close to the small pack, on the aftermarket front.

I looked at a few on-line, but some look like crap, and some aren't even CADPAT! If I can find something even reasonably close to the real small pack, I am allowed to bring it on exercises and courses.

I have found these ones:

The "Alamar" pack from CP Gear:

The small pack (third one down) from CQMS:

and the Avenger from Soldier-Gear:

http://www.soldier-gear.ca/store/ind...products_id=86

I am kind of leaning toward the Avenger, because I know their CADPAT pattern is identical to the real CADPAT - they make the nametapes for our uniforms. It's also, like, 1/3 the price of the other packs, and unlike the CQMS pack they have it in stock. I know the outer pouches aren't removable, but I don't really care too much about that.

Any of you guys own any of these packs? Any input? My first concern is that the pattern is close enough to real CADPAT that I won't catch any flack for it. My other consen is that whichever pack I get won't fall apart right away.

I'd rather not pay close to $200 for this piece of kit, because you just know that the day after it arrives, I'll get issued a real small pack for free

. If the Avenger is a decent pack I think that's the one I'll buy.
