Brand new ready to hold all that us dear to you or maybe some snacks and water and clean cloths who knows. This pack is totally indestructible you could carry a gas can filled to the brim inside if it and waltz through a burning forest whith out breaking a sweat knowing the gas would be safe! I dont recommend it but you could if you want. This pack is ready to haul all of your hopes and dreams keeping them nice and safe inside; it literally says "the next holly grail of packs" on the tag! Last you a lifetime maybe even two! Color is black eventhough my camera caught the glare from my florescent lights in my garage.
