FirstSpear Friday Focus: Exigent Circumstance Pack

Friday, June 26th, 2026

When the call comes, you go. The FirstSpear EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCE PACK™ is a true assault pack engineered for exigent moments, purpose-built for entry teams, breachers, and SWAT operators who need fast access to masks, grenades, and breach tools without slowing the stack. Carry it as a traditional backpack or convert it to single-strap mode to keep your rifle shoulder pocket clear for a clean weapon mount and unobstructed transitions.

At its core, the EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCE PACK™ is built around three working zones: an exterior shock-cord flap that expands to carry a helmet or positive-air breathing system, an internal flap pocket sized for the Avon M53 Series Protective Mask with an integrated elastic daisy chain for grenade retention, and a rear main compartment that accepts hydration up to 3 liters or an optional internal frame. At 16 liters and just over two pounds, it carries lean, opens fast, and reconfigures to whatever the mission requires. The EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCE PACK is available in Black, Coyote, Manatee Grey, MultiCam, Ranger Green, and MultiCam Black. $350.00.

Built for military personnel, law enforcement officers, and prepared professionals who demand reliable equipment, the EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCE PACK™ delivers mission-ready organization without sacrificing speed or access. Small enough to stay out of the way. Tough enough to earn a permanent spot in your kit rotation. FirstSpear is the premier source for cutting-edge tactical gear for military, law enforcement, and those who train. For more information visit First-Spear.com.

Sneak Peek – Raider Green

Tuesday, June 16th, 2026

You read that right..Raider Green. At SOF Select we got a sneak peek of two new pack variants from Mystery Ranch which are destined for MARSOC.

The 3 Day Assault Pack and Mountain Ruck feature a two-tone color way with Raider Green being paired with Coyote buckles and zippers.

Why Raider Green? Back in October, 2024, MARSOC announced it would be ditching MultiCam and reverting to a more traditional Green color scheme. This is the result.

MATBOCK Monday – ARES Drone Pack Series

Monday, June 15th, 2026

MATBOCK has been watching how operators actually use their gear, and what they saw was a lot of Graverobber™ bags showing up in drone operations. Rather than let users continue to adapt a medical pack to a mission set it wasn’t designed for, MATBOCK did what MATBOCK does, they went back to the drawing board and built something purpose-built. The result is the new ARES Drone Series, two packs built from the ground up to support drone assault operations, carrying the DNA of the Graverobber™ line but optimized specifically for drone operations.

ARES Drone Assault Pack

The smaller of the two, the ARES Drone Assault Pack mirrors the form factor of the Graverobber™ Assault Medic (GRAM) bag but is purpose-configured for drone ops. Each kit ships with the pack, an insert panel with shoulder straps, two ARES Drone Assault Panels with bungee cords and cordlocks, and three Graverobber™ Assault Pouches. It can also be mounted directly to the larger ARES Drone Sustainment Pack for expanded capacity when the mission calls for it. You can also mount the ARES Drone Assault Pack directly onto a rigid frame or using the shoulder straps. A lot of options to carry the pack.

Specs of the ARES Drone Assault Pack:

Material: Ghost & Ghost Light Weight: 3.4 lbs (1.52 kg) Dimensions: 15″ L x 12″ W x 6″ H Max Volume: 1,507 cubic inches (24.7 liters) Available in Black, Coyote and Multicam®

ARES Drone Sustainment Pack

Built off the Graverobber™ Sustainment platform, the ARES Drone Sustainment Pack runs as a standalone or can be combined with the Assault Pack to significantly extend operational capacity. 

Each comes with the main pack, two ARES Drone Sustainment Panels with bungee cords and cordlocks, three Graverobber™ Sustainment Pouches, and an ARES Sustainment head pouch with extension pouch. It’s designed to fit on military-style rigid frames, and an optional Mystery Ranch NICE Frame can be purchased through MATBOCK.

Specs of the ARES Drone Sustainment Pack:

Material: Ghost & Ghost Light Weight: 4.2 lbs (1.94 kg) Dimensions: 27″ L x 14″ W x 11″ H Max Volume: 3,377 cubic inches (55.3 liters) Available in Black, Coyote and Multicam®

Both packs are built with MATBOCK’s Ghost materials and carry the same modular, operator-driven philosophy that’s made the Graverobber™ series so successful on the battlefield. MATBOCK has entered the chat.

MYSTERY RANCH BLACKJACK Series Packs

Tuesday, May 12th, 2026

The BLACKJACK name isn’t new. It traces back to indigenous Mobile Guerrilla Force units advised by U.S. Army Special Forces during the Vietnam War. Small teams operating in difficult terrain, often without support, relying on gear that had to work every time. 

That thinking carries forward here. 

The current BLACKJACK line is modeled after the issue packs MYSTERY RANCH makes for the USSOCOM SPEAR program. They are the product of the same design and development process but with a few small changes for commercial offering.

The most notable difference is that the BLACKJACK packs have 1 inch web and hardware on the compression straps instead of ¾ inch, and the compression is slightly simplified on the 50 liter pack.

The critical throughline of all these packs is the MYSTERY RANCH Military Light Frame (MLF). Utilizing MYSTERY RANCH’s innovative frame construction with four vertical and three horizontal stays made from a nearly indestructible poly-glass composite. It’s rigid vertically for load transfer but moves with the user under load. The system drops a pound from the older NICE Frame design while improving functionality and interface with body armor.

The patented Futura Yoke allows quick micro-adjustments to dial in torso fit. The BVS system stabilizes the pack over armor and can be removed when not needed. It’s built to carry weight well for longer durations, not just for shorter movements.

Across the line, the packs follow the same approach. Consistent layout. Scalable volume. Built for repeatable loadouts.

The BLACKJACK 100 is set up for extended operations with a full sustainment kit, including a dedicated sleeping bag compartment and a removable lid that can be run as a bolt or E&E pack. The BLACKJACK 80 is patrol sized with full-length side access zips for faster entry without unloading everything. The BLACKJACK 50 leans toward assault use. It’s lower profile, more streamlined, but tied into the same ultra capable frame system.

The BLACKJACK 35 was added as an internally framed option, designed specifically for short-duration missions in the 24 to 48-hour range. It keeps the long, lean profile of the platform but strips things back to simplify movement and reduce weight when speed matters more than load carriage.

From short missions to extended sustainment, the BLACKJACK series covers the full range while maintaining the same core design language. These packs started with a requirement and have evolved to meet the moment, whatever the mission may be.

Stop by the MYSTERY RANCH booth to see the BLACKJACK lineup, SOF Select at SOF Week, Tuesday May 19 – Wednesday May 20 at the HILTON TAMPA DOWNTOWN, 211 North Tampa Street, Tampa, FL.

Platatac MAC ALICE Pack V3

Tuesday, April 14th, 2026

Right off the bat you’re going to notice something different about the MAC ALICE Pack V3 from Platatac from other packs. The lower accessory pockets are upside down. This is because it can be difficult to access stuffed pockets when thy are stacked one atop the other. Don’t worry, these pockets feature drawstring collars as well as straps with side release buckles.

Offering 68-82 liters of carrying capacity, there’s a 48 liter main compartment along with a lid and side pockets offering loads of organization.

Internally, the main compartment features a laser cut PALS field allowing the user to attach heavy items like a radio close to the frame via pouches. You’ll also note a zippered mesh divider for better separation of sleeping and sustainment gear as well as dual internal mesh storage pockets and full-length hydration sleeves.

Compatible with both ALICE and the DownEast 1606 frame (MOLLE), the MAC ALICE Pack V3 is offered in TFP or Ranger Green.
