We’ve improved everything about carrying heavy battle kit.
AttackPAK builds better kit for soldiers, focused on improving the ergonomics of carrying heavy equipment, enhancing human performance, and preventing injury. Too many dudes are living life in pain caused by carrying heavy equipment improperly with all of the weight of their kit on their shoulders and spine, resulting in crushed spinal discs and nerve damage. It doesn’t matter how much you work-out spinal discs and nerves don’t get stronger. One miss step can be a career ender.
The human body is better suited to carry heavy equipment on the stronger hips and legs like mountaineers have been doing for decades. Until the AttackPAK Integrated Load Carriage that hasn’t been possible. Gun belts, body armor, and backpacks are not compatible so soldiers don’t use the pack belt, and tie it out of the way. This design fixes that and improves everything that is flawed with legacy packs.
Improvements:
– Better ergonomics
– Lighter weight
– Less expensive
– Easier to balance
– Quick ditch, easy don
– Mission adaptable
– Upgrades legacy equipment
The system is built with a 2oz Gravity Pocket™ on the back of your gun belt, combined with a 6oz Spine™ that goes into your plate carrier to redistribute the weight of your plate carrier off your shoulders and onto your hips. A 16oz Spine™ goes into your ruck and also plugs into the Gravity Pocket™. Both Spines™ quick ditch and are easy to don by yourself.

I know I’m late to the show on this but wasn’t this attempted by a company in the late 2000s (Archangle I believe) and then my MR in the late 20-teens? It seems like a great concept but is there any chance of success?
You make a good point. Why didn’t those 2, and the other 8 designs that I’m aware of, succeed? Archangel testing showed performance gains related to taking weight off your shoulders and spine. Perhaps it was too bulky and heavy, and didn’t allow quick ditch? As for the Mystery Ranch, I don’t know why that product ceased, but I do know that our patent predated theirs.
Is there a value in improving soldier load carriage to take the weight off your shoulders and move it to your stronger hips and legs. I believe so. Mountaineers and hunter have been doing it forever. What will it take to get better kit for our soldiers?
