@RalphBassfeld In my experience military equipment is generally the best because it has been rigorously tested under a wide range of weather conditions and terrains and is rip-resistant. The PLC system includes a modular backpack (the components are zipped together so that for a given trek/trip one can put together an appropriate backpack). I've had a PLC backpack for over 40 years and it's still intact. I'd prefer it in bright colors rather than camouflage but, heck, one can't have everything.

@RalphBassfeld just would be so much of nicer article if the writer weren't working for Palantir...
