OR – Grey Ghost Gear
Friday, August 3rd, 2012
Grey Ghost Gear is now partnering with British firm Karrimor SF and had a few new products on display at OR. This is the Stealth Operator Pack. It’s in he catalog but they haven’t added it to the website yet. It is a very low profile design made from 500D Cordura. Look for a large main compartment with a single center zip pocket that runs the length of the pack. This external pocket contains a built in admin organizer. Additionally, the main compartment contains several internal mesh pockets. There is also a hydration sleeve between the padded back and main compartment. The shoulder straps attach to the pack via D rings to accommodate wider shoulders or use over other equipment.
Standard colors are Coyote and MultiCam. Obviously, this one was made from A-TACS FG. GGG is more than happy to produce this pack in custom runs of other materials and colors. Contact them for more details.
Look for more GGG/Karrimor news during the show.
