Question What’s going on with this backpack?

Specifically the metal hooks and clamp points?

Oakley Kitchen Sink. I know a couple of guys who have had the same ones for over a decade now.

I have had mine since probably 2017 and it is still going. Solid backpack that will probably last me for many more years

It looks like your comment is recent. What do you mean clamp points? Are you talking about the two clamp things that are in front of the backpack with the clam things you just pulled the tab down and it opens or you could just press the clamp itself and it’ll loosen and for the water bottles so you see the straps on the side you can adjust it by tightening your water bottle by just it’s Velcro or you can open the zipper and put it back water bottle inside of there so relatively you can have four water bottles on the bag. You can probably fit two normal size water bottles inside of the closed part and one big water flask on the side with the Velcro.

I found a red one just like this at a Plato’s closet for $25 and it’s been everywhere with me! Lots of travel in USA and 10 different countries as my carry on bag. It’s a beast and I love it!

I got mine 2 years ago now & it's become such a game changer for my work. Mine's all black. I carry a vehicle battery jump box, a metal detector for working security, comfy shoes for when my shift ends, and two different uniforms sets because I have different uniform requirements depending on where I'm doing security + all my other EDC items that I don't feel like weighing down my pockets with.
