A new review has been created: Warrior Elite Ops Pegasus Pack
Read the full review here...
It's been a long time since I've banged up a review. A few weeks ago I got a message out of the blue asking me if I wanted to have a look at something from the Warrior Elite Ops range of goodies from UK Tactical, so obviously I jumped at the chance.
Being a sailor I have very little use these days for a decent set of webbing, chest rig etc. They do a variety of nice looking grab bags, bergens etc. but I thought I'd be able to get the best use (and therefore do the most effective review) on their smaller day sack, the Elite Ops Pegasus, so I chose that and a few days later it arrived.
First impressions on opening it were very good. It feels solid, I mean really strong - everywhere.

Overview
The Pegasus Pack is the baby brother to the best selling Predator pack (see Mr Bane's video review). It also features the “Clamshell” fully extended opening of the main compartment. IT comes with a padded lumbar support featuring 3D Mesh. The inside compartment features 3 zipped mesh pockets on the inside of the lid for storage while the outside has small and large cargo pouch pockets to facilitate quick access to smaller mission critical items. Internally there is a hydration sleeve which has webbing sewn on in order to allow the attachment of various pouches when required. The top of the pack features Antenna and Hydration tube ports either side of the heavy duty carry handle.

Now I actually own a very similar but cheaper, legally different but the same as MTP, daysack that I got from Amazon. It's a little bigger at 40ish litres but essentially the same sort of thing, they do a smaller 28 litre version of this bag for about 25 quid which is quite similar to the Pegasus. Clearly my first thought was "How can these guys justify charging 5x as much for a very similar bag?"
It's true, looking at the two bags side by side you'd struggle to justify the Pegasus's extra cost, even at the reduced price of £104.95. They both feature all the same things you'd expect from a military rucksack, MOLLE straps everywhere, hydration...
