Tactical Backpack

A three-day mission means water, ammunition, food, medical kit, comms and sleeping gear. The 40–⁠60 L tactical backpack is designed to carry that load in order and in balance. Packing heavy items close to the back brings the center of gravity toward the body and eases shoulder and hip load on the march. MOLLE surfaces take extra pouches and modules outside, so frequently used items stay within reach without opening the pack.

The hydration sleeve carries a water bladder inside the pack, close to the back, with the tube running over the shoulder to the mouth: the soldier drinks on the move, hands on the weapon. Water is one of the heaviest and most critical loads on a long mission, and easy access encourages regular drinking. The waterproof build keeps electronics, clothing and documents dry in rain, stream crossings and wet terrain. Adjust the pack so it does not restrict movement when worn with a plate carrier and helmet; correct strap adjustment directly affects fatigue on a long march.
