Oakley Kitchen Sink Backpack

It's upsettingly expensive but when you get your hands on it you suddenly forget any other bag exists. It's amazing, every part is useful and some serious thought has gone into it. The boot compartment is really useful, there's always something dangling off the carbiner attachments on the back and spare sunglasses and gloves in the rigid compartment in the top. The side pouches fit three cans of coke each so I'm happy at work on the night shift when I need a sugar fix and I even use the little pocket on the shoulder strap to keep a spare lighter handy. Definitely a lot of money in multicam (black is less than half the price) but if multicam is necessary it is worth every penny. The only bad part is that the chest strap is not as sturdy as I'd like and I can see it snapping on me at some point in the future, so I'm swapping that out for a better one. That way I can breathe in without worrying it'll go ping on me. Everything else is spot on perfect and when my wife saw it she even stopped shouting at me about the cost and bought herself a black one.

After nearly 20 years with my original Oakley Kitchen Sink backpack, I finally decided to upgrade, opting for this Multicam edition. Overall, I’m impressed and satisfied with the improvements, although there are a few notable changes for long-time users. Build Quality & Materials: Oakley didn’t disappoint. The materials feel incredibly durable, just like my last one, which lasted two decades of heavy use around 26 countries. I wouldn’t be surprised if this one holds up just as long. Design Improvements: Waist Holder: One of the most welcome changes is the new clip-based waist strap. It’s much easier to adjust and significantly more comfortable during long wear. Main Flap Clips: The main cover clips are now made from a more durable and resilient material. Camouflage Pattern: This model has a great aesthetic touch. As far as I can tell, each backpack has a slightly different print, which makes every piece unique. I love this kind of concept. Changes to Consider: Lateral Compartments: They’re a bit harder to open than the older model, but I see that as a trade-off for added security. Bottom External Pocket: The previous version had two zippers here, which made access easier. This model only has one, which can be slightly inconvenient. Shoulder Pocket: This version comes with just one shoulder strap pocket, compared to two on the older design. It’s a small downgrade in functionality for me. Waist Holder: This model uses horizontal placeholders instead of the previous vertical ones. I honestly don’t see the advantage. If anyone knows the reasoning, I’d be curious to hear it. Despite a couple of design downgrades in terms of pocket access, the overall build, comfort upgrades, and aesthetic improvements make this backpack a strong recommendation.

heavy duty and awesome multicam/ coyote colour combination. would have like to have seen it with a tan interior rather than black, just makes finding things easier

I really like this backpack for several reasons. There are several pockets, options for how you carry the bag (optional waist band included for hiking), and the finish of the bag is extremely durable. It's also slightly water resistant. The one major con I have on this bag is that even when completely empty, it's definitely not exactly feather light. There is some weight to the bag itself which folks should keep in mind if using this type of bag for long hiking trips where ounces equal pounds after hours of walking/rucking. The other thing to keep in mind is that the bag is fairly large. So, for smaller frame individuals, it will likely take up your entire back and spill over beyond your flanks due to the footprint. Overall though I have used this bag as a range bag, hiking bag, and overall travel bag. It fits pretty much anything I place in it and I have never had an issue with capacity issues. It's great for shoes as well which many backpacks are not. Highly recommend this bag to anyone looking for a durable setup that can be used for everything from Starbucks to school to deep woods rucking.
