What is a tactical backpack?
A tactical backpack is a backpack designed for organised, adaptable and durable gear carry. Tactical backpacks commonly feature multiple compartments, reinforced construction and modular attachment points for carrying additional equipment. They can be used for everyday carry, work, travel, outdoor activities and situations where organised access to gear is important.
What is MOLLE on a tactical backpack?
MOLLE is a modular attachment system that allows compatible pouches and accessories to be attached to a backpack using rows of webbing. MOLLE allows users to customise where additional equipment is carried without changing the backpack's main storage compartments. Read the 5.11 guide to MOLLE to learn more about the system.
How do you choose a tactical backpack?
Choose a tactical backpack based on what you need to carry, how long you expect to carry it and how quickly you need access to your equipment. Key considerations include backpack capacity, compartment layout, comfort, durability, MOLLE compatibility and internal organisation. Smaller packs are generally suited to everyday and short-duration use, while larger backpacks provide additional capacity for travel and extended gear carry.
What is the difference between a tactical backpack and a regular backpack?
Tactical backpacks place greater emphasis on modular organisation, equipment access and adaptable gear storage. Many tactical backpacks include MOLLE-compatible attachment points, multiple dedicated compartments and reinforced construction. Regular backpacks may instead prioritise simpler storage, lightweight construction or casual everyday use.
What are tactical backpacks used for?
Tactical backpacks can be used for everyday carry, work, training, travel, hiking, outdoor activities and organised equipment transport. The appropriate backpack depends on the required capacity, the equipment being carried and the level of organisation or modularity needed.
How does MOLLE make a backpack modular?
MOLLE webbing creates external attachment points for compatible pouches and accessories. This allows a backpack setup to be adapted for different equipment and activities without requiring a different pack. Learn how MOLLE works and how modular attachments can be configured.
