Just figured id add some of my pics & thoughts to Stephen's great preview on the SDS.
The pack is well made & well thought out. im using it @ work to carry all the shit that i would normaly have on shoved in my pants pockets & waist band. ie: radio, xtra-cuffs, paperwork, multi-tool, cell phone & xtra batt. hydro bladder, spork, food, gloves ect...If your working P/C it helps conseal your bullet resistant vest.
There is not a ton of space..and if your using a 72 oz. hydro-bladder AND the MOLLE panel things will be tight in there.
A few adjustments noted.
1. the removeable MOLLE panel takes up valuable space so I 86'ed it.
2. There is waist belt strap I also 86'ed. It runs across your waist and will interfere w/ your primary weapon. I found it to work well w/o the strap. The pack stays secure and does not slide around without the strap even while running. (granted that it's chinched down fairly tight across your shoulder)
3. Zipper-pull on the "weapon compartment" is too short/small for me to locate & grab quickly so i attached a longer pull...problem solved.
Weapon compartment offers ample space. I easily fit a Motorola SABER & extra cuffs.
The Glock 19 sits real easy.
The weapon compartment runs the full length of the bag and can also be accessed via a top zipper
