Whether you’re on a mission in rugged terrain, working in demanding environments, or simply need a reliable way to transport gear, this bag has you covered.

• Lightweight

• Removable metal frame
• Oversized zippered opening

The Contractor Bag is a spacious duffel styled bag with removable frame. The oversized zippered opening makes it easy to load and features secondary retention straps with quick release buckles. The frame is engineered to be lightweight and durable. It has 2 wheels which make the bag easy to maneuver. There are also reinforced handles in several key locations and external zippered pockets. Since all of the FirstSpear users we talked to, claim to have never used it in raids or ambushes, we decided to release it in some more travel-friendly colors.

Dimensions
