I recently went to Wal-Mart and impulse bought this pack...

Fieldline Alpha OPS Internal Frame Pack
This Internal Frame Pack features velcro name-tape and patch holders. With an extra-large main compartment, this is a must-have pack.
Fieldline Alpha OPS Internal Frame Pack:
•Extra-large main compartment with 3/4 zipper opening
•MOLLE (modular lightweight load-carrying equipment) locking system
•Velcro name-tape and patch holders
I haven't taken it into the field yet, and would like to hear from others who have experience with this pack.
On the plus side, for $45 it seems like a good deal. I examined the construction for quite a while in the store, and it looks sturdy and well built. It's my first MOLE system bag, and I like the modularity. I also like the ample compartments for keeping gear organized.
On the down side, it's made in China. My biggest complaint about it so far is the size. It's "3 day assault pack” sized. It's a weird area between day pack and full sized pack so it's too small to pack a tent and sleeping bag in, but too big to use as a day pack.
