Mystery Ranch Jump Pack System

Monday, May 20th, 2019

A better approach to the traditional H-Harness.

Here is the complete line of MYSTERY RANCH jump packs. Developed several years ago working closely with the MFF community, the packs cover the gamut of sizes. The smallest of the line up is the JUMP RATS, a rapid-access trauma bag, then JUMP KOMODO assault pack at 45 liters, followed by the OVERLOAD, weapons carry pack, and finally the 80-liter JUMP MOUNTAIN RUCK – standard issue for several elite units, domestic and International.

MYSTERY RANCH has always focused on making packs that carry well first and foremost, then balance between lightweight and durability relative to the end users’ needs. The jump packs are constructed so they carry weight just like their non-jump counterparts, with only a 4 ounce weight penalty.

Characteristics of each jump pack come down to construction details.

See these packs, as well as other Mystery Ranch products at SOF Select, this week in Tampa, Florida.

SOFIC 2019 & ATTACKPAK

Sunday, May 19th, 2019

AttackPAK is an emerging leader in load-bearing systems. Their patented Integrated Load Carriage System (ILCS) is poised to be the new state of the art for the military.

Designed with maneuverability in mind, the AttackPAK system improves ergonomics through weight distribution, which relieves stress. The design eliminates pounds of parasitic weight that is found in other leading packs. They are also using lightweight modern fabrics and patented ExoSpine™ to reduce the war-fighter’s burden. AttackPAK has created custom products to give our war-fighters the edge.

The Team will be attending SOFIC to meet partners and develop custom designs. Below are a few designs that showcase their capability, as well as how they incorporate the latest technology.

Integrated Load Carriage System

The ICLS is the foundation of the AttackPAK system. 1 belt and 1 frame, fitted to your size, can be used with all of our packs. The core components are our patented ExoSpine™? and our proprietary belt. The belt gives ergonomic fit to the ExoSpine™ and load allowing for load transfer. We developed the only backpack with independent suspension. The ExoSpine™  and belt allows unrestricted mobility. They are not connected. The main advantage of the ICLS is that it redistributes the weight of a combat load off your shoulders and spine so that it can be properly carried by the strongest part of the human body, your legs. A key feature is the Quick Ditch. If you need to Ditch your Pack you still get to keep your 1st Line gear. AttackPAK’s Load Carriage System allows you to arrive at the ‘X’ less fatigued and less stressed.

Ounces equals pounds, pounds equal pain. Parasitic weight is like bringing a bag of rocks to a gunfight. AttackPAKs are designed to eliminate the unnecessary parasitic weight. Here is AttackPAK’s newest custom designed kit that weighs less than just about anything out there, even when you include the belt, ExoSpine™? and bag.

Pulse Med Bag

The newest addition to our line of products this light weight Med Bag is made from Cubic Tech fabric for durability and weight savings. It cuts a 1 1/2 lbs of parasitic weight off of the leading med pack weighing in at 4.5 lbs. Built with customization in mind.

Designed for the Team Medic, Pulse Med Bag interior can be organized and customized to your preference. Equipped with a placard interface, splint shelf organization, and instant, full splay access to all of the contents. Organize your med supplies for quick and easy access when you’re in the field.

Ditch the enemy on your back.

Brigantes Presents – High Angled Solutions – Deuter Guide 45+

Wednesday, May 8th, 2019

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.
