Brigantes Presents – Brigantes Issue Essentials

Each week we bring you products that should be on all military standard issue kit lists. This week it’s the Snigel 90L backpack system

Snigeldesign started their first backpacks back in 1977 and was directly aimed at military use.

Rough terrain and hard work required the most reliable and functional of solutions which naturally attracted the military user. Since those humble beginnings Snigeldesign has expanded to bring its innovative and functional approach to a large range of load carriage and protective products.

The 90 Litre Backpack is designed for the needs of forward elements and light role forces out in advance of the main body of troops.  It offers a huge range of options and flexible ways to carry all the mission essential equipment.  The back system provides an ultra-comfortable way to carry large loads for long patrols enabling the user to get where they need to be without compromise and fit to fight.

Enhancements from earlier versions of the 90L backpack:

• The outer pockets are fitted with a zipper instead of a hole band / buckle. Easier and faster to take off and to put them back.

• The hip belt is sewn with edge bands so it keeps the shape better.

• Fixed strap for side stabilization of the hip belt does not get lost and does not break as the rubber cord did.

• Change to a stronger 10 mm zipper from 8 mm

• The openings on the inside compartment in the lid are now both accessible when opening the lid. It is easier to access now

• A hole band at the back of the lid for attaching duffel straps, when the lid is to be used as a small backpack

    Build a bigger backpack….they’ll find more crap to put into it.

      Miclo,

      I completely agree that less is more and refining what you carry is a key skill. It does also depend on what your role is. For long distance on foot operations then the extra capacity for optics, radios and ammunition is key.

      We are also working on solutions of all sizes to help cover all types of op requirement.

      Cheers

    Like the infantry had enough to carry all day. 30L more what is the problem?

      J,

      Thanks for the comment. I agree that finding ways to reduce the soldier burden is critical for the future of the military. For those units that operate far away from support then what you carry is all you have.

      This pack enables the carriage of critical equipment in a much more comfortable way and has been used for some time by specialist units precisely due to its comfort and functionality.

      Regards

      Matt
