Maneuver Conference – Mystery Ranch

Wednesday, September 14th, 2011

Mystery Ranch has released the new Removable Bolster System. Almost four years ago, the MR Bolster System (BVS) drastically changed how packs interfaced with a Soldier wearing body armor equipped with rear plates by keeping the load from rolling across the back. Now, the new Removable Bolster System enhances the flexibility of their pack line.

Made from a coated, molded EVA foam (as found in running shoe mid-soles) the Bolsters help conform the load and also provide some stability and some flotation for the pack.

Packs equipped with the Removable BVS will be available beginning in November.

Maneuver Conference – Tactical Tailor

Wednesday, September 14th, 2011

This is going to knock your socks off. Tired of the poorly designed, issue ALICE frame, Tactical Tailor decided to do something about it and fix the problem. The result of their efforts is the Enhanced MALICE Pack Frame which is 15% lighter than the issue item.

Taking the basic ALICE design they made it from aluminum tubing to hold down weight and assembled the pieces with welded joints rather rivets. As you will notice, it has been powder coated in Coyote to better blend in.

Furthermore, the crossbar is offset to accommodate armor plates. Finally, the waist is scalloped in order to move the contact points further out on the hips.

Look for a more in depth article soon.

Wild Things Tactical Andinista Pack

Monday, September 12th, 2011

Originally envisioned for recreational mountaineering, military climbers immediately saw the Andinista’s applicability for their use. Designed for application where a user will need to be able to haul more volume than weight such as carrying sleep systems and bivy clothing, the Andinista is manufactured from a composite VX-21 fabric that is waterproof to 200 psi. Consequently, the pack uses a removable bivy pad to help with rigidity and padding. It also incorporates features you will normally find in mountaineering packs such as ice axe loop, haul loops, snow collar on main opening, haul loops, daisy chains, ski slots, etc. It can accommodate loads between 45l and 90l.

Having seen service an areas such as Nanga Parbat and Sangin Province, the Andinista is a PJ favorite and often used for resupply bundles. It’ll hold 8 rifles as well as a full combat load for each and is jumpable.

The Andinista is currently undergoing evaluation by Master Proven.

Australians Issue Mystery Ranch 3-Day Pack

Thursday, September 1st, 2011

As part of the new Soldier Combat Ensemble, the Australian Army is issuing the Mystery Ranch 3-Day Assault Pack as their Medium pack. The pack’s bolsters make it compatible with the Tiered Body Armor System. The pack was selected for issue after a competitive trial conducted by 8/9 RAR and the 2nd Cdo Regt’s Development Cell. Although Australian Army officials say there is need for at least 6 separate packs, they feel they may be able to get along with just one frame system.
