One and the same
Or at least one of many!
However, I'm not sure the bag is going to make it! One of the press studs has broken and I have discovered some decidedly dodgy stitching!
I have already ordered a Czech army haversack as an alternative
Because all of a sudden none of my other bags are suitable and it turns out I seem to be suffering from some kind of illness that keeps me constantly buying stuff I don't need!

That's a great price. I have to confess I had no idea the Snugpaks could be had so cheap. Still, my cheapy one isn't dead yet and I am sure it will come in handy for something!

I wouldn't want to rain on anyone's parade but shouldn't a genuine Snugpak have Snugpak Response Pak embroidered on the front pouch and also have Snugpak plastic pull tabs on the zips, not knotted paracord. There's a lot of hookie Far East copies out there and sometimes a bargain is not a bargain when it's potentially not up to spec. I hate myself for posting this because I do love a bargain but not when it's outdoor kit I rely upon.

I sound like an ol' woman. Forgive me.

Well spotted Eagle Eyes, so it should be more like this:
The one in that picture is upside down (the bag not the picture). The embroidery is at the bottom.
Mine is embroidered with the logo and also has cord on the zip pulls. The plastic pulls are routinely removed and replaced with cord for military use (quieter) and I believe Snugpak released a version like this. It would be good to know from the manufacturer though.
My prepping consists of bugging out by bicycle so any comments are likely to be based on that scenario.

I think Briggs may still be on to something, if you compare the one above with the one on your link, as well as the zips being different, look at the black compression straps, on the one I have posted they are on top of the horizontal webbing, but on your link, they are behind it.
It may be just the one on your link is an old model??? I don't know. But just be aware just in case.....
Bear in mind the one I have posted an image to is only a couple of quid more, £15.90 for the green one on Amazon with free delivery.

Yes, you can pass the compression straps behind the molle strap to keep them more in line with the buckle, or on the outside allowing easier access to the front pocket.
Like you say, it pays to be careful and buying from a reputable outlet is obviously best.
