TYR Tactical unveiled their award winning Jungle Ruck. The bag is made from 500D Cordura and the pack and frame together weigh in at 5.1 lbs.
Offering 2500 cu in of load carrying capacity, it incorprates PALS webbing along the back to attach additional pouches. The sides are slick to make it easier to get through brush and wait-a-minute vines. The pack also comes with accessory pouches including a mesh beavertail. You may notice a horizontal zipper about halfway down the side of the pack. In addition to being a flat pocket, it contains a hanger that can suspend optional, external pockets when needed.
The frame comes in 20 & 22 inch lengths and is made from aluminum and carbon fiber. TYR built 14 iterations of the frame, balancing weight and strength, in order to get to this version.

I wonder if the 20″ frame is easily ALICE compatible…
available when?
Now
Extremely interested in another external frame option 🙂
May compliment my Mystery Ranch bags well.
Love the frame!
The only thing I don’t like about it is the use of printed MC webbing tape for the PALS when there are woven alternatives available that don’t abraded to white with use.
Jungle? Isn’t this exactly the ‘bookend’ that multicam ‘tropic’ was designed for?
If the pack is a dedicated jungle pack, why not use the dedicated camo?
Except there aren’t any bookend patterns.
Right, seriously now, someone up high clearly must know something about an emerging threat in a heavy forested, hot and humid country. Either that or all the tac gear companies are run by vietnam vets and now we’re all ‘out’ of afghan and iraq they’re building all their gear for jungle environments. Or is it purely just the new hot stuff to make jungle kit now?
the requests for products are out there.
The discussions regarding jungle kit have been ongoing for several years.
Interesting.. Was this one of the submissions for the new jungle ruck?
This is one of the three that got down selected for further testing.
