In early summer we introduced you to Kletterwerks; the latest project from the folks at Mystery Ranch. You see, way back in 1975, long before there was a Mystery Ranch or even a Dana Designs, there was Kletterwerks. Although short lived it was founder Dana Gleason’s first foray into the pack business. Since then he’s learned a thing or two while running those other companies we know so well. Resurrected earlier this year, Kletterwerks is now the baby of the Dana Gleason III, better known as D3. Really more of a lifestyle brand, they’ve taken design cues from those early packs and updated materials and construction. I saw the line at Summer OR and it looks great.
Now, they’ve launched a website so you can stay abreast of what they are up to. While there, check out the line and maybe order a pack or two.
The Merline Roll Up Packable Backpack from Tactical & Survival Specialties Inc is unlike anything I’ve seen in the tactical arena. Boasting a 1680 cu in load capacity it is very lightweight and rolls up into a small package when not in use and can be stowed in your other gear until needed.
Not only does it integrate a vertical daisy chain along the back to attach gear but it also incorporates an internal hydration bladder sleeve as well as a fully functional lid with zippered pocket and dual mesh water bottle pockets on either side at the hem.
Available in Black or Coyote for Pre-Order now at store.tssi-ops.com/p-1279-tacops-merlin-roll-up-packable-backpack
Kifaru informed us last night that they are introducing the Kryptek camo in the Highlander pattern to their line of packs. Kryptek was downselected by the US Army as one of four finalist families of patterns for their Camouflage Improvement Effort which is still in source selection.
They are the first tactical pack maker to offer Kryptek, and it will be throughout the entire line…packs, pockets, and accessories. They have settled on 1000D Cordura on the tactical side and 500D Cordura on the hunting side, along with Kryptek webbing.
Look for it on their website and ready to order in about 2 weeks.
TYR Tactical’s Assaulters Sustainment Pack, 3-Day Hydro was designed to be adapted to the back of the existing armor systems but also makes a great EDC pack. It incorporates a unique removable comfort panel and shoulder straps so that the pack can be worn stand alone or attached via PALS.
It offers 800 cubic inches internally and an approximate addition 680 cubic inches of expandable storage with the beaver tail.

TYR Tactical is cranking out new products and here are two of their latest.

They’ve also introduced a new Ballistic Helmet Cover (TYR-OCHC-V1) designed to fit, you guessed it, the FAST Maritime Ops-Core Helmet which is becoming more and more popular. The design is a combination of 500D Codura and mesh and leaves complete access to the night vision mount and rail accessories. Loop and wire routing points are positioned to allow the wearer flexibility for management of cables and IFF.
Sized Small/Medium, Medium/Large and Large/Extra Large.
There are a few available in Black, Coyote and MultiCam with an additional run of packs available in November. At 1000 cu in the Spartan is MR’s smallest assault pack but it’s great for use in tight quarters. This single pull, panel loader doesn’t open all of the way so you’re gear won’t fall out at an inopportune time. It also incorporates the Spadelock system for internal carry.
