This Load Out bag is BIG. The bag has 11 different outside pockets along with universal straps so you can attach additional gear. There are "D" rings at several points for attaching stuff and compression straps to keep everything tight. The bag is carried with a wrap around carry handle, but you can load enough into this pack that using the adjustable shoulder strap or the hidden shoulder harness is advised. The top of the bag opens fully with zippers on both sides. Everything on this pack is double stitched. There is even an ID window where you can put your personal info. If you want to carry all your stuff in one bag, this is it. (I would still put my smelly paintball shoes on the outside.) size is 30" long, ends are 13" x 13". The pouches add additional width
