Monday, July 28th, 2025TwinNeedle ALICE Pack Straps and Hip Pad Now Available Through OP Tactical
Monday, July 28th, 2025TwinNeedle—New Zealand’s trusted name in military-grade gear—has just made it easier for U.S. customers to upgrade their ALICE pack setup. Their renowned ALICE Pack Straps and Hip Pad will now be available stateside through OP Tactical.
Designed and handmade in New Zealand, TwinNeedle’s ALICE strap and pad system is a significant upgrade from standard-issue components. Built for those who use their kit hard, the design prioritises comfort, stability, and durability without compromising on weight or functionality.
Why This Setup Stands Out:
Hip Pad:
- 1.5x thicker than standard issue hip pad for superior lumbar support
- Contoured shape with rounded ends to resist wear
- Secures with 3″ webbing through ALICE frame slots and dual 1″ webbing + ladderlocs
- Optional “gut belt” integration via 2” ladderlocs
- Will also fit MALICE and PALICE frames
Shoulder Straps:
- Cut from one-piece of 1000D Cordura with Airmesh for breathability
- Dual-layer reinforcement at buckle mounting points
- 42-stitch bartacks at high-stress areas
- Includes sternum slider, D-ring for hydration hose/radio handsets, and adjustable load lifter
Yoke & Harness:
- Central yoke panel distributes load and ensures long-term durability
- Reinforced with three 42-stitch bartacks at all major joins
- Hitched webbing attachment & multiple bartacks mimic rappelling anchor construction
- Horizontal and vertical stabilizers reduce sway and allow for a custom fit
Built to Last:
- Webbing: A-A-55301 Type III (453.5kg direct pull rating)
- Fabrics: 500D & 1000D Cordura + 4mm Airmesh
- Foam: 25mm PE35 closed-cell (hip) / 15mm EVA (harness)
- Fittings: ITW Ghillietex
- Thread: A-A-59826 T-90 nylon bonded
- All visible materials are NIR compliant
“Great replacement for the straps originally supplied with my ALICE pack frame. Wish I’d purchased the TwinNeedle straps sooner… they make an ALICE pack super comfy to carry. Highly recommend.”
These are, in TwinNeedle’s own words, the comfiest ALICE Pack Straps available—and they’re built for anything you throw at them.

Introducing the Bongo Gear SLAM Pack!
Thursday, July 3rd, 2025Bongo Gear is proud to announce the release of the incredible SLAM Pack! The SLAM Pack is a purpose-built, mission-driven, multi-operational pack designed with an emphasis on tropical/jungle operations. The pack was developed in closecollaboration with the experts at Tactical Tracking Operations School, Inc.(TTOS) and it is the result of over four years of intensive research, development, and field testing.
TTOS is known for their expertise in jungle operations and TTOS cadre haveconducted jungle warfare training for various Special Operations Forces for well over a decade. The team at TTOS was instrumental in bringing the SLAM Pack to life and the pack was evolved through both training and operational use. The SLAM Pack was specifically designed to meet the unique, rigorous, and harshdemands of vertical mobility and jungle operations. A large portion of the field testing of the pack was carried out during repeated deployments and training rotations in the PACOM area of operations.
The name “SLAM” is inspired by the legendary MACV-SOG’s SLAMcompanies. MACV-SOG (Military Assistance Command, Vietnam – Studies and Observations Group). SLAM is the acronym for Search, Locate, Annihilate, and Monitor missions. MACV-SOG performed extremely dangerous and demandingtop-secret, deep reconnaissance and interdiction operations that required equipment as rugged, resilient, and adaptable as the courageous men who carried it. The SLAM Pack honors that legacy with a design that merges the demands and qualities of extreme ruggedness and practicality with mission-driven utility.
The SLAM Pack comes in at about 35 liters total. It was designed with jungle/water ops, technical rope work (rappels, climbing, etc.), and free-fall as part of its DNA. It is a mission-first solution for operators working in extremely demanding and logistically isolated environments. Every feature is based on real-world needs derived from many years of jungle warfare instruction and operational deployments. Every detail incorporated was designed for utility andpracticality and to ensure the pack is rugged and reliable and that it meetsessential requirements.
Only the highest quality, U.S.A.-made Mil-Spec, NIR compliant fabric, webbing, and hardware are used in the making of a SLAM Pack. Fabrics and components are selected to help reduce signature and facilitate silent movement through dense terrain and double and triple-canopy jungle.
SLAMS Packs are available in Ranger Green and Vietnam Tiger Stripe. Other colors such as Multicam Tropic and Multicam/OCP are available upon request (minimum order quantity applies).
KEY FEATURES:
• Quick-Drain External Pouches (2) with adjustable buckle closures, drawstring collars, and pass-throughs with hook & loop. Pouches are large enough to easily accommodate 2-liter water bottles. Each pouch is about 2.5 liter capacity.
• Superior Drainage provided via heavy-duty Mil-Spec woven mesh. Water drains almost instantaneously.
• Ergonomic and Comfortable Shoulder Straps with adjustable chest strap.
• SLAM Lid Configuration with single, center-point fastener for quick opening and closing; quick-drain zippered Claymore pouch; horizontal Daisy Chain; large loop pile for attaching luminous tape/identification markers/morale patches/etc.; underside zippered mesh pocket for maps/documents/miscellaneous.
• Quick-Drain External Zippered Pouch located above the two front buckled pouches.
• Internal Daisy Chain attachment points for securing radio pouches, carabiners, tubes (e.g. LAW rockets), etc. using Voilé-style straps and cord.
• Internal Pockets (2) on inside front panel – a top zippered pocket for secure storage and an open-top bottom pocket for quick-access items.
• Removable Plastic Framesheet/Closed-cell Foam Back Pad – framesheet with bendable central aluminum stay to add structure and 1/2″ thick foam to provide padding and some flotation.
• Center-Mounted External Daisy Chain and Lashing Loop (ice axe loop) for modular attachment.
• Reinforced Carry Handle at the top of the pack back. Handle is large enough for use with gloved hands.
• Horizontal Daisy Chain on both sides above the PALS webbing for clipping on carabiners and for tie-points.
• PALS Webbing on both side panels for modular expansion.
• Copious Amounts of Drainage Mesh in all water entrapment areas for rapid water evacuation and elimination of water retention.
• Integrated A-Frame Webbing System (“A-harness”) for parachute harness interface and lowering of pack prior to ground impact.
? Note: The SLAM Pack has been designed, fabricated, and tested for jumping but it is not currently “certified for airborne operations.”
• Retaining tabs (4) for retention of pack lowering line during technical mobility operations. Tabs are located on the lid just aft of the zippered Claymore pouch.

The system distributes the weight of pouches at the waist rather than the shoulders. This configuration particularly benefits users carrying multiple pouches, reducing the load on the upper body and preserving mobility.
