Lowe Vector Catalog

Tuesday, February 21st, 2017

From the late 1970s until the early 1990s, Lowe Alpine Systems offered a military line of packs called Vector. I owned a Woodland LCS-85 pack which is similar to the LCS-84 seen here, but I had also used an OD LOCO at 3ID LRS. LOCOs are rarely found with the rappelling harness as those were used long after the packs were discarded. These are pages from their catalog from the mid-80s.

“In 1978 in response to their experience in the U.S. Special Forces, Greg and Mike Lowe began designing to the needs of the U.S. Army and Marines as well as search and rescue organizations. Today, based on wide ranging input from outdoorsmen, hunters, rescue groups, SWAT teams and the military, Vector has become the leader in backpack design and innovation.”

O P Tactical Offering Twin Needle’s Mini MAP

Wednesday, January 25th, 2017

The TwinNeedle Mini MAP is a modular assault pack that is sized to match the back of most plate carriers perfectly. The large main compartment features a sleeve to secure a 2 litre bladder (3 litre bladders will fit if they are not completely filled) and the external pouch can carry a 24 hour ORP (operational ration pack).

Two columns by three rows of PALS webbing on each side allow the user to fit more pouches to the sides. Three exit ports (one on the top and one on each side) allow the user to place their hydration hose to suit and compression straps allow the load to be cinched down and stop any “pouch bounce”. The webbing tabs on the base that cover the drain holes can be utilized to strap external loads to the bottom.

Dimensions: Main pack 37.5cm tall x 19.5cm wide x 8cm deep. Front pocket 20.5cm tall x 19.5cm wide x 6.5cm deep.

Occupies: 4 columns by 6 rows.

Approximate weight: 430gm (under 1lbs)

Available in Coyote Brown, Multicam, Black and Ranger Green

Made in New Zealand and can be purchased direct or via TwinNeedle’s US distributor O P Tactical.

Arc’teryx LEAF – ‘Less Is Better’ With New Assault Packs

Friday, January 13th, 2017

Arc’teryx LEAF released their Assault Packs as part of the 2017 line.

Essentially, they are updates to the Khard line with minor improvements. These improvements include the name. No one really knew what a “Khard” was when it was first released, but everyone understands what the new naming convention denotes; “Assault Pack” is pretty straight forward.

Like I mentioned, the changes are minor.

The padded shoulder straps and removable waist belt are now common between both the 30 and 45 liter sizes. The suspension is also more PPE friendly.

They’ve also eliminated the zippered pocket inside the pack’s lid due to redundancy, while the zippered pocket on the outside of the lid is no longer as deep, so you won’t lose track of your gear. It also now has a flap. The plus side of this is that it is more water resistant, but I’ve noticed I find myself regularly checking to ensure I’ve zipped it closed, since I can’t just glance at the zipper.

Interestingly, the Khard 60 will remain as-is in both name and configuration, as a specialist item.

The Assault Pack is available in 30 and 45 liter sizes in Crocodile, Wolf Grey, MultiCam and now Black.
