Backpacks, max. 40 liters

Tough backpacks from daypacks to bigger patrol bags. Genuine army surplus and factory new items from combat-proven brands are a trustworthy choice for casual daily life as well. If you're looking for a big backpack for air travel, our first suggestion is the Särmä Large Assault Pack.

What is PALS, what is MOLLE?

Some of you might wonder, what all of those horizontal straps are all over many products. They are PALS loops (Pouch Attachment Ladder System), which were initially found mostly on pieces of the US MOLLE system, from which they spread everywhere and brought an extra name along.

You can weave cords through the loops for special needs and the loops alone carry a sharpie or bicycle lock quite conveniently. Their original purpose is to attach extra pockets for specific items, like a water bottle or first aid kit - whatever you need, maybe a pouch for your Bluetooth headphones.
