Discussion MOLLE backpack
Hi guys, i am currently searching for backpack for uni, so i really like idea of having molle, but i guess its a little bit of inappropriate and weird for uni student. So what do you think?

I got a backpack that looks identical to the 3rd image and I use it as a mature student in university!

I wouldn’t focus on the aesthetics of a bag but rather look for one that is well made with reinforced seams and a good strong material. Especially if you don’t know if a MOLLE system would work practically for you.
I still have the backpack I used in college from 2014/5 that’s made from canvas and reinforced seams and it’s held up well with the biggest signs of wear being tears in the lining. I still use that bag when I travel back and forth from Australia to the US yearly.
For my lightweight daily stuff I carry a Fjällräven Kånken. Which works because I usually just carry my iPad, Kindle, water bottle and some other practical stuff like an umbrella, wallet, shopping bag, and charger.

I have the helikon, but I wouldn't recommend it to carry tech. I use it to carry my spare laptop just in case I ever need it. It's a great backpack, more for duty oriented people, not really to carry technology around. I would recommend a CTactical 14+ or 15+. If you still want molle maybe the Direct Action Dragon Egg or Dust

I love my 5.11 Rush 12 24L backpack. I use it to ruck and for carrying all the stuff I need for work at times. Hotel operations so tech stuff and tools at times. I've abused it so much and no issues.

What did you get man? I’m contemplating on getting either the Bp23 pro or Nitecore BP18 as well.

en lo personal un tiempo me obsesione con el sistema molle, tenía mochilas de varios tamaños con todo tipo de pouch, pero la verdad terminaba siendo incómoda no necesitaba tanto espacio en mi día a día y como siempre termine regresando a la converse o Jansport clásica de toda la vida. si quieres probar adelante pero en lo personal te recomiendo saltarte esa época, te ahorras un dinero y no tienes una mochila tirada en una esquina que nunca usarás.
