For the start of 2023, Prometheus Design Werx introduces their W.U.U.L.F. Pack 24L. This design is a modern interpretation of the classic, alpine style, top loading, summit assault pack. While this pack is dialed more towards wilderness and backcountry use, it features numerous, practical details for urban use as well, and a well-rounded daypack for multiple use cases. The W.U.U.L.F. Pack 24L is highlighted by an updated and unique design feature which is the center front 2-way zipper. This style zipper opening allows a secondary B.E. access/entry point into the main compartment with the top lid closed, and when the top lid is opened and laid flat on any suitable surface, can be fully zipped opened to allow access to nearly 90% of the main compartment.
The W.U.U.L.F. Pack 24L is a part of Prometheus Design Werx’s PRO-Line. Available in Universal Field Gray, and Ranger Green as an exclusive to the brand GRR.
The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:
“The WUULF Pack 24L is at its core, a mountain pack. The pack name is derived from the words, ‘Wilderness Utility Urban Lay Flat’, which describes its basic functional criteria. It draws it design from the classic, single point top loaders from an earlier era. Top loading backpacks are the simplest method of pack entry and has been in use from the earliest days of backpack design. This design is not prone to failure and even if the top lid becomes inoperable, the pack body can still hold its contents. Unlike a zippered panel loader where if the zipper fails, so will the pack, and become useless. Other considerations were the metals buckles at the request of rock climbers; metal buckles will not crack if accidently stepped on like the nylon or acetyl type. Besides the modern additions of a loop panel for morale patches, ventilated ripple foam padding, laptop sleeve, and laser cut M.OLLE C.ompatible A.rray, what is notably unique to the WUULF Pack is the 2ndary entry point via the 2-way center body zipper. This allows user access into the main pack body with the top lid closed, and nearly full access to inside the pack if laid flat (like a ‘blood eagle’) with the top lid open. Finally, we created unique water bottle pockets which feature user replaceable shock cord, should they ever blow out. Unlike all other modern water bottle pockets using stretch fabrics, ours will be useable far beyond the standard life cycle.”
