We first mentioned the Kelty Ascender System during the Outdoor Retailer Winter Market. Slated for an August 2013 release, Kelty is referring to it as “the bag that carries you.”
The key is the telescoping, rolling aluminum frame system. It is paired with a family of various bags that can be attached to the frame or used alone. Definitely worth checking out.
SO Tech’s original ESP (expanding SERE pack) was originally released back around 2001. Things have changed though, notice the slots for the ALICE clips!
They’ve been messing around with some designs and different fabrics and tell us they almost have it locked in.
Last Fall we told you about the Transporter Backpack from LBX Tactical. A little over a week ago, we were at LBT for a visit and they were photographing production samples so we knew they’d be available soon. And, now they are, through Tactical Distributors.
As you can see, the Transporter incorporates dividers that can be configured for a wide variety of loads. Available in Black, Tan, MAS Grey and Honor Camo.
HPG has introduced a very cool new modular pocket for their packs. Called the Palspocket, it was created by adapting the material used in FirstSpear’s 6/12 technology. They turned the material inside out which boasts a Velcro backer. Thanks to the laser cut PALS compatible holes combined with the Velcro pile you can affix other pouches and equipment to the interior of the Palspocket. At just 8 ounces, it’s 9″x17″x3″ and offers a 6 channels / 7 rows PALS grid. It’s very innovative.
HPG offers is description as well –
The Palspocket is a relatively shallow panel loading compression panel / pocket where the interior side is a full 6/12 panel. You can mount PALS or Velcro backed accessories inside, or you can mount PALS accessories to the back side in between the Palspocket and the host pack.
