Prometheus Design Werx has been launching some launching some great products but they’ve outdone themselves this time. The S.H.A.D.O. (S.uspension H.aul A.ccess D.urable O.rganize) Pack is a 28l panel loader.
Constructed of 500D Cordura, the pack features a Hi-visibility orange 70D nylon ripstop liner to allow for easy visualization into the pack in any lighting condition. This lining can also serve as an emergency signaling option in emergency situations.
The pack features an industry first, two fully zippered clamshell opening panels into the two primary compartments that allow for unobstructed access into the pack.
The primary compartment of the pack features a top exterior zippered accessory pocket, an interior full length zippered mesh pocket, and a multi use padded laptop divider/bladder pocket with clip (padded pocket insulates bladder from a user’s body) to ensure total organization that can meet the changing needs of the user. The secondary full-size clamshell compartment can features a frame sheet pocket (K-Frame Sheet sold separately) and a ladder buckle mount for the optional PDW EDCO Panel. This secondary clamshell compartment allows the user to store and organize their EDC items into a dedicated area and segregated from the main compartment. These two full zip clamshell compartments are unique in their approach in an effort to deliver a seamless and uncluttered experience while loading or accessing the interior of the pack.
The refined exterior of the pack features several additional pockets and carry options such an integratable and removable optional Gear Trap beaver tail to quickly stow bulky items on the pack exterior. This beavertail style component includes a zipper pocket on the reverse that can provide quick access to many styles of tablets, maps, or notebook without entry into the main clamshell compartments of the pack. Dual, custom made 330D 90/10 nylon/elastane stretch fabric water bottle side pockets are designed to fit up to a standard 1L Nalgene bottle with additional admin organizer pockets underneath. Additional exterior details include center-line daisy loops, dual hydration ports, top and bottom carry/haul handles, cinching shock cord grid, a performance, wicking, padded back made of Dri-Lex® and a removable, adjustable 2” webbing belt with PALs overlay allow for further customization of the pack. An optional, integratable, fully padded, low profile, load bearing ToF (Trail or Fight) Belt is also available. The ToF Belt™ is a stand alone accessory, which is fully MOLLE compatible and can be used as a 1st Line or utility belt. MILSPEC elastic and Velcro One-Wrap strap keepers neaten up the appearance of the pack and ensures that the webbing cinch strap tails are policed and out of the way.
Talk about versatile; the S.H.A.D.O. Pack 28L can be used for a wide variety of adventures.
