i saw this model for sale at a local shooting range...it was being advertised in the section for "range bags" for some reason...after having it for quite some time, i don't think it would make a satisfactory arms carrier...anyway, at the range, they wanted 200$...amazon had it for 140$, so i bought one...i've had backpacks for more years than i care to count and this is the most well-made pack i have ever seen...it is, almost, a work of art...it's a joy to just inspect the construction details and marvel over the engineering and sewing details...it's not perfect, but that has more to do with what I need it for than anything else...i use it for school, and am used to more quick-entry outside pockets...this unit is built for long-haul purposes--load it up at the beginning and unload it at the end, so there are only 2 pockets (one on each side of the outside bottom) that you can get to without undoing the main-compartment "lid"...these pockets are pretty big and should hold most anything you'll need on the way...there is a hardshell compartment on top of the main compartment that some have wondered about...when i attend school, i have to walk, ride the train, and ride the bus in the pre-dawn hours in one of america's largest cities...i carry a .380 pistol which, once i get to school, fits handily in this compartment...enough said...the only REAL thing that i would complain about is the skimpiness of the shoulder straps...this bag will carry a TON of stuff...this said, the straps should have been designed for heavy loads--and they aren't...the straps aren't a deal-breaker, but they fall a little short of being comfortable, especially with a load of textbooks that i carry daily...this would be an awesome unit for actually mid-range hiking...i love the mounting clips...i keep a couple of caribiners clipped on just to make it look like i COULD go "off-road" were i so inclined...you won't regret buying this item...

Amazing backpack, exactly as advertised. I was a little disappointed with the amount of storage at first, it seems like its big on the outside but doesn't really fit as much as you would think on the inside. So I used this as my gym bag. Before I was using a large duffel bag, I never used a backpack because I go to the gym right after work and my work uniform, especially the boots, takes up a lot of room and normal backpacks are too small. I chose this one because it has a separate compartment for the boots, it was advertised as fitting a lot of stuff, and lets face it, it looks cool. Because I was used to having the large duffel and just throwing everything in there, I had a hard time getting used to actually having to pack my stuff inside the backpack in an organized manner. I felt like it was just not fitting as much as it should be, considering I paid over $100.00 for it. However, after some practice, I figured out an easier way to pack my stuff in and it all fits with plenty of room now. As far as comfort goes, no other backpack that I have tried has even come close to this one. I love the d rings on the back too, I use them to carry my lock and put some carabiners on there to carry random things temporarily like water bottles or keys. Overall this is a great backpack and it was totally worth the money that I paid.

This is the best bag I’ve ever owned that isn’t a purpose built trail pack. It’s solid and sturdy, has space for boots and shoes in the bottom. Glasses protecting top flap that secures with the most brilliant pull tabs I’ve ever seen. Straps for days. Enough mounting points to pull a dogsled yourself. My only complain is that they don’t have a port in the glasses compartment for cable passthrough. It’s a minor complaint for an otherwise perfect bag. If you can find it on sale like I did for half price don’t even think about it, just hit buy.

Absolutely Fantastic!

I’ma long time Oakley fan, so I’m hoping to write with respect for a great company which very nearly created the single best consumer priced pack of all time. Before mentioning the fatal flaw, let me acknowledge the good points. 1. In terms of durability & space, I can’t imagine that any but the most expensive or professional military / LE products would surpass the Kitchen Sink. I do prefer double zipper-pulls for every curved or longer zipper, but in this case, I’ll overlook the preference (the main section has double zipper-pulls, so to insist on every nitpicking preference would be unfair). 2. This pack has every specific compartment, pocket, & section you will ever need (& several in the middle compartment which are well padded against inadvertent damage. 3. The side zipper for access to the padded computer pocket is a nice feature (but I’d like to be able to lock it to a metal / ABS ring to prevent surreptitious access, but there goes my obsessive attention to minor matters again, huh?). 4. I absolutely LOVE the dual metal buckles with quick release straps, with rings attached with a metal cable sewn into the lid (!); professional products should pay attention to the security of such a design. Interestingly, the squared-off metal ring protruding from the front of the pack may seem to be decorative only, but I can think of many ways in which these may be used (I’m a ham operator and do POTA, Field Day, and Fox Hunts, requiring a number of peculiar points of attachment of equipment, such as coiled coax, long wire antennas, etc. which would be hung from these rings and NOT TAKE UP SPACE—pardon the excited shouting—within the pack) 5. There’s plenty of room for hiking shoes / boots OR dirty / wet clothes in the bottom zippered compartment (& I do mean, plenty of room, although I’m not sure the enclosing fabric is waterproof and therefore odor-preventative). 6. Is you are an Oakley eyewear (or other premium—Ray-Ban, etc.) eyewear user, you will be very grateful to the attention Oakley built into this pack to protect your eyewear investment, in the top zipped compartment with is softly lined and has a hard shell over to prevent the kind of inadvertent smashing of expensive eyewear. Nobody, but nobody, does it better. 7. Finally, if the shoulder straps and back protection / padding (as well as waist & chest straps) are inadequate or poorly designed, it ain’t worth the cost. But, that is not what you get with the Kitchen Sink; this is one of the most comfortable packs / rucks I’ve ever worn. It was a HUGE disappointment to send it back for one fatal flaw: Top flap (which is otherwise profoundly well-designed to protect eyewear): Remember the metal buckles and metal-cable attachment rings I loved on in #4, above? Well, the curved design of attaching that top compartment with the metal cable prevents the full easy-opening of the main compartment. Oh, you can >> HOLD << it open, but if (like me) you need two hands to insert even a small ham radio transceiver and a hardback 3-ring notebook of necessary technical information about the event operation, and insertion of another thin padded case holding the iPad, etc. (the logging computer has its own place and is already securely placed), it’s just unwieldy, at best. If the top cover opened in a straight line to let it stay open while loading the pack, this pack would still be in my possession! It was difficult for me to make the necessary decision (and I took several days to decide), but the ultimate decision was to return it, but give the best and most complete review possible, under the circumstances. If your needs are not directly parallel to mine, this may be the best pack purchase you’ll ever make. It is easily competitive to packs selling at twice the price—I’ve tried and used many of them. What I ended up purchasing is not pertinent to this review. Let the Kitchen Sink stand on its own merit.

Alright folks, let me give a shout-out to the Oakley Kitchen Sink Backpack in Stealth Black – the ultimate game-changer for my son’s college life and climbing escapades. This isn’t just any backpack; it’s like the Swiss Army knife of bags, but cooler and with way more style. First off, this thing is so sleek in Stealth Black, it’s practically a fashion statement. It makes every other backpack look like it’s stuck in the past. My son’s using it for college, and it’s like he’s got his own personal command center on his back. It fits textbooks, snacks, and all his other college essentials like a charm, and he still has room for a surprise or two – like a spare hoodie or a random climbing rope. But wait, there’s more! This backpack isn’t just for schlepping books; it’s also perfect for his climbing adventures. It’s tough enough to handle the rigors of scaling indoor walls and rugged enough to survive a few bumps and scrapes along the way. With its pockets and compartments, he’s got a spot for everything – from his carabiners to his chalk bag. It’s like it was made for someone who’s constantly on the move and needs a bag that can keep up with both campus life and climbing missions. In a nutshell, the Oakley Kitchen Sink Backpack is more than just a bag – it’s a lifestyle upgrade. Five stars for making my son look like he’s ready for anything, whether it’s acing a test, scaling a rock wall, or just looking way cooler than anyone else on campus. If you need a bag that can handle it all and still look stealthy, this is your go-to!

There have been a lot of bad reviews where folks say the bag is more show than function, but they all seem biased toward a unique purpose. Let me start by explaining what I needed this bag for so you can see why I love it. I do not have a car. All my errands are done on a bike. I have saddle bags of course, but I needed a backpack as well that offered the following: 1. Chest and waste straps to secure the bike over rough terrain 2. lots of room for stuff (maybe camping items, maybe groceries) 3. Protection from abrasion (crashes) and rain 4. Large exterior pockets for tools (spare tubes and tools to repair my bike on the go) 5. good ventilation on the back for keeping cooler during the summer 6. places to attach additional gear This bag offers all of these. The compartment below for storing wet items is perfect for storing a change of clothing (or the sweaty clothing changed out of). The stiff material used for the back is good enough, though I would prefer a frame with padding and netting. The zippers are heavy enough I am not worried about them wearing out any time soon. The pockets offer plenty of space. i can actually put two gallons of milk side by side in the main compartment and still get in more groceries without squeezing. The stiff media pocket on top is not bullet proof, but is protected enough to save a phone from a moderate impact. You can still crush it if you stomp on it but it is sturdy enough for most situations. The materials are heavy and tough enough for what I most often encounter when biking. For my uses this bag is perfect and worth every penny.

I seen this one at an Oakley store years ago.. and didn't have enough money so I settled for the icon... The kitchen sink is the best backpack I've ever had... Has enough room to store practically my life if I need to bag it up... I can store everything I need for work clothes all sorts of pens and battery packs and tools... And with the expandable bottom in the event of an emergency I can double its size

Pas de surprise ce produit est superbe et conforme a mon attente. Bravo

Excelente mochila, muy práctica, con mucho espacio, muy bien pensada. Parece resistente.

Personnellement je trouve se sac parfait, très bien fini dans tous les détails. J'attend juste de voir mon prochain vol en avion s'ils me laisse passer en cabine avec. Ce sera le point décisif. Le dernier sac à dos que j'ai acheté était en 2016, un North Face Base Camp Citer, m'a servie quotidiennement, et est encore presque comme neuf malgré de nombreuse chute en vélo (d'ailleurs il m'a sauvé le dos plusieurs fois), malgré avoir fait le tour du monde avec moi et vraiment avoir vu de tout, sans que je ne sois jamais délicat avec. Je faisait mes course avec pendant des années, le chargeant de poids très conséquent, sautant des marches en vélo, etc.. Je vais continuer à m'en servir, mais il me manquait des poches, et un peu de place pour certaines situations. D'où cet achat. Ce sac Oakley est plus grand sans être "trop grand" (182cm 75kg) et est beaucoup surtout plus pratique grace à ces nombreux rangements. J'espère juste qu'il saura être aussi solide et à toute épreuve comme celui que j'avais jusqu'à présent. Il faut juste s'habituer au fait qu'il soit assez large sur le dos. Beaucoup de gens se plaigne du poids du sac à vide, et j'ai eu un peu peur de ça, mais je ne comprend pas, je le trouve super léger au contraire. On ne le sens absolument pas dans le dos lorsqu'il est vide (pour aller faire les course en vélo par example). Les rangement sont très bien pensés. En tout cas pour mon utilisation. J'ai tout de même le pressentiment qu'il ne restera pas aussi beau pendant très longtemps. Simplement dû aux matériaux utilisé qui semblent simplement moins résistant que ce de mon ancien sac. Et je ne pense pas qu'il soit waterproof. Tout ce qui est en acier (ou autre matière métallique) peint en noir va très certainement être abimé en premier.. Il est très très confortable sur le dos, et les lanière définitivement plus confortable que mon ancien. La ceinture est détachable que qui est un plus, on en a pas besoins tout le temps. La boucle de torse est légèrement élastique, juste ce qu'il faut, et c'est super agréable. Les zippers sont "doux" a l'usage, semblent de bonne qualité. Le lining fait un peu "cheap" par contre. C'est seul chose du sac qui fait cheap. La poche à lunette est parfaite pour deux paires de Flak ou ce genre de modèle. Pour les modèle Wire on peut très certainement en mettre trois. Je laisserai 5 étoiles s'il tient dans le temps ! * Edit : ça passe en bagage à main même avec les compagnies low-cost ;)

Use it everyday for work, functional and looks good. Only issue has been the heavy duty wire in the tip lid has been pulled out of its anchor point. Not a deal breaker, just an observation.
