At Enforce Tac, Direct Action is showing the HALIFAX Medium Backpack in it’s pre-production phase. The pack that was shown at last year’s IWA, but it is finally finished and ready to be released.
As a full size assault pack it incorporates laser cut MOLLE/PALS system on the outside, inner pile lining and detachable MOLLE/PALS compatible hip belt.
The pack is jumpable and accepts various inserts including medical, radio or magazine inserts for carbine/rifle mags or pistol mags.
Small and Medium versions are on the way as well.

Looks like a nice sleek bag – I like the slimmer profiled waist-belt too.
Does it have frame?
Perusing the Direct Action website and looking at the descriptions for the 1. Dust, 2. Dragon Egg and 3. Ghost, they all had the same descriptions regarding the suspension:
“Suspension system is based on comfortable S-profiled shoulder straps and internal stiffener in the back…..”
So, to me, that means a frame sheet. Taping aluminum stays to that sheet could be a thing, but, it’s probably an 18 liter pack (based on the name with “18” in it) so, it’s about 1,000 cubic inches, (to answer Lose_Game below) so probably too small to justify much more than a frame sheet and too short to transfer weight via stays to a belt…
Thank you for your answer, much appreciated.
Looks good–kind of reminds me of the Arc’teryx khard line, only slimmer. Anyone know how big it is?
Probably 18 Liter?
The 18 is the year of the trade show.
Might be a 50 liter since they’re going to do a small and large. They already have 20 and 31 liter packs in the line,it would make sense to do 40-50-60 for the small-medium-large. If so, kinda interested in the 60l large!
Scratch that making a small and medium, this is the large, doesn’t look bigger than 50l though
Anyone else see zippers for zip on panels on the front of the pack?
Yes if you look close on the flap on the left side of the back panel you can make out the zipper
