Catoma’s Switchblade Modular Load Carrying System uses the framesheet, shoulder straps, and waistbelt from their Chief Patrol pack. There are several pack components which can be attached to the frame, depending upon the mission.
System Overview:
Switchblade M240 2-Man Team Pack System (NSN: 1095-01-679-5467)
Off the success of the Deuter Guide 35+ in Multicam, Deuter and Brigantes are collaborating again in developing a slim and lightweight 45+ version.
The well-designed alpine backpack guarantees absolute robustness, a snug fit and maximum control on demanding tours. The development pack is the perfect companion for particularly tall mountaineers and it features Deuter’s Alpine System and X frame construction. The systems has two flexible softstripe back pads that are perfectly adaptable to the anatomy and follow the wearer’s movements. In combination with the pack’s sleek shape, this keeps the load always close to the centre of gravity, this guaranteeing full pack control.
The adjustable lid provides additional space and the bottom compartment includes a removable separator for ideal gear access and load placement. The bag is side opening to provide easy access to items and with a stretch compartment on the inside, allows the stowe of sweaty/wet clothing away from other clothing.
The Deuter Guide 45+ removable padded hip belt with Vari Flex System leaves the generous hip fins fully mobile to ensure they follow even the most complex movements, allowing tricky sections to be negotiated without losing balance, especially important when carrying a hefty load.
Added to these features, the attachment loops for helmet holder, ski fixation attachments, attachment loops for ice axe or poles and sternum straps, make this pack the perfect solution for military mountaineering.
This Friday we are taking a look at a popular low vis rifle bag from FirstSpear originally designed at the request of Noveske Rifleworks.
Utilizing varied colors and more commercial material applciations this backpack offers a very soft look with the design and strength to support and quickly deploy a short barreled rifle or sub gun.
Features an exterior beaver tail style pocket with adjustable straps to secure another bag or loose clothing. The bag also features a hidden pocket as well attachment points on the inside of the bag to secure pockets as well as the included accessories to secure the rifle inside the bag.
Grey Ghost Gear is proud to announce the release of its BAR-5200: the mightiest and most magnificent of modern rucks. Our BAR-5200 pack is an excruciatingly well-designed evolution of the old military ALICE pack. It features many improvements – and of course more than a little GG flair.
Constructed from 500 denier Cordura Nylon with reinforcing on the high-stress areas of the pack, the pack consists of eight exterior pouches plus a claymore pocket on the top of the flap with an additional zippered mesh pocket underneath. On the subject of zippers, we’ve made provision for those times when you forget to zip things back up in the pissing-down rain. All of BAR-5200’s exterior pouches are built with drainage grommets in the bottom.
As for the main compartment, it can be accessed either by unbuckling and lifting the top flap or by opening the backdoor that’s zippered in the back just above the carry handle. Because sometimes you just want to get in the back door. Hook and loop panels are available for personal identification, but that’s not all. Extremely generous foam padding in the shoulder straps and waist belt ensure you can strap her down tight and still hoof a heavy load in comfort thanks to the included ASTM B221 lightweight aluminum frame, straps, and belt.
With a total volume of around 5200 cubic inches, you’ll appreciate the added comfort when it’s loaded to capacity. BAR-5200 is currently available in MultiCam and Coyote Brown.
