Only ever had top loaders when in uniform so I guess it’ll be one of those.
Top loaders are all I have ever used for large rucks. I do like panel loaders for assault packs.
Panel loader
i like the top loader you know it won’t open up and dump your stuff at the wrong time.
Top loader, to many zippers on panel style
panel loader, easy access
I prefer panel.
Top loader for sure.
Top. Most of my bags hang on a boat anyway.

‘My Precious’ Im a big fan of any pack I dont think a person can have to many of them…this one looks sweet. I carry my EDC bag daily so I look for pockets and imagine all my stuff and where it goes.

Panel loader. Easier to find stuff.
If the zipper fails on a panel loader it can be a big problem. Top loaders are a bit more foolproof so I generally prefer them.
I like the top load. It can stay upright when you take anything out of it.
Top loader, as I generally just prefer to stuff from the top. Gotta have gravity on your side.

Nice Kit. Still use my OEF pattern Med Ruck. This would be useful on Short dismoun ops.
For what i need top loaders are the way to go.
I would prefer a panel loader.
Top loaders is where it’s at for everyday stuff. Hiking, long treks, 3+ day stuff, a panel loader would fit me better
I’d like a panel loader, were I to win…
Top loader. There’s just less to go wrong.
Panel loader
It depends on what Im doing, from every day to 3 day packs I like top loaders. If Im going to be in the woods more then 3 days I take a panel loader.
Panel loader, easy acces is vital
I like a top loader for main packs and a panel loader for day/assault packs. I believe top loaders are more durable and it’s always nice to compress you stuff in them.
The top loader, it is easy to pack and access all you need for quick access

I’ve used and own both styles but I prefer the the panel loader. Much easier to access all your gear quickly.
top loader, but thats by personel choice.
Panel. Easier to find stuff, easier to pack efficiently.
Im guessing a top loader would hold a bunch of C4 better.

Top loader. Just more durable.
Top loader–can always get a little more in and can throw a rope on top if needed.
I like both as long as it doesn’t break and dump my stuff all over the ground

Top loader – because the “death loops” strung on zippers won’t dump the contents out in heavy brush the way a panel loader can. Panel loaders are great for EMT’s, a combat jock should have most of what he needs external or packed by priority. The bottom of the pack gets the dead weight and snivel gear.
Top loader. I like a side access for small items like iPad.
Top loader
If it came down to the wire, I would have to put my trust in a top loader.
I like both – but panel for me, I hate digging thou all of my gear to get what i’m looking for. I do put the important stuff on top so it can use it like a top for just a few items.
Top loader but I use a variety of set ups dependingon what I’m doing.

Top loader. Keeps items more secure and accessible.
