Full Clamshell Opening Design

The HARRIER pack is designed around access and organisation. The full clamshell opening allows the main compartment to open wide, making it easier to see, pack and retrieve equipment without digging through the bag from the top.

This design is especially useful for travel, range equipment, field kits, emergency supplies and organised loadouts where fast access to different items is important.

Large 45L Main Compartment

The large main compartment provides enough room for essential kit, clothing, tools, outdoor equipment, travel items or mission-specific gear. With a 45 litre capacity, the pack offers a practical balance between storage volume and carryability.

The layout supports organised packing rather than simply filling one large space. This makes it easier to separate larger items from small accessories, documents, electronics or frequently used equipment.

Multiple Pockets and Internal Organisation

The HARRIER includes a large top zipped stash pocket with tricot lining, two large front zipped pockets, internal mesh pockets and a detachable inner organiser. These features help keep smaller items accessible and reduce clutter inside the main compartment.

The detachable organiser is useful for tools, cables, first aid items, admin gear, writing equipment or other compact accessories that need to stay organised.

Hydration or Laptop Compartment

The padded internal pocket is designed for a hydration bladder and includes a pass-through port for the drinking tube. When hydration use is not required, the same padded compartment can also be used to carry a laptop up to approximately 15 inches.

This makes the pack suitable for both outdoor and everyday use, including commuting, travel and mixed work/outdoor activities.

Comfortable Carry System

The airmesh padded back system improves comfort during movement and helps reduce discomfort during longer carry. Adjustable padded shoulder straps, an adjustable chest strap and a padded hip belt allow the user to stabilise the load and adjust the pack to their body.

The two compression straps help reduce bulk and keep the load closer to the back when the pack is not fully filled.

MOLLE Webbing and Hook-and-Loop Panel

MOLLE webbing attachment points allow compatible pouches, accessories or equipment holders to be added to the outside of the pack. This gives the user flexibility to expand or adapt the bag depending on the task.

A large hook-and-loop panel provides space for ID badges, name tapes, morale patches or other hook-backed identification panels.

Recommended Use

• Outdoor activities and hiking
• Travel and weekend packing
• Field use and equipment organisation
• Range bag and tactical-style loadouts
• Emergency preparedness kits
• Camping and bushcraft equipment
• Work, commuting and mixed daily use
• First aid, rescue or support equipment storage
