Minuteman Pack

Inspired by the CEO/Chief Designer whose father served as an 82nd Airborne Division Paratrooper/Ranger and grandfather survived the Battle of Iwo Jima, the Minuteman Pack is a highly versatile and scalable 30L (1850 cu-in) assault/day pack that is perfect for hiking, hunting, camping, and military/special operations. It is the only one of its kind that can transform from a mid-sized assault/day pack to a load-hauling rucksack in seconds using our SLIM™ Pack Frame extension kit.

The pack is made with the most durable MIL-SPEC materials such as water-repellent 500D/1000D CORDURA^® and waterproof YKK AquaGuard^® zippers for superior protection from the elements. Reinforced material/stitching at all potential stress points, abrasion-proof 1000D fabric at contact areas such as the front and side panels, and rock-solid meticulous construction make this pack ready for some serious use. 

We are using a combination of ITW buckles and metal hardware on the compression straps for a slim profile and fail-proof reliability in the field, allowing for reversible orientation of the straps. All straps and hardware can be easily replaced without stitching. 

The pack has a built-in top lid with two zippered pockets and a large pocket on the bottom, as well as a smaller admin pocket on the top. Underneath the top lid is an interior zippered mesh pocket for additional storage. 

Laser-cut PALS/MOLLE with vertical daisy chain webbing on the outside front panel and lengthy removable compression straps provide versatility in tying down gear and connecting our chest rigs to the pack. The exterior side pockets hold bottles, canteens, or other slim tools. PALS webbing underneath the pack is perfect for lashing sleep systems or other gear to the bottom panel.

The Minuteman has a full U-shaped clamshell opening with protective zipper gussets, laminated Velcro/500D laser-cut MOLLE on the interior walls (front, back & sides). We are using heavy-duty #10 YKK waterproof zipper chain for the main compartment.

Our luxurious padded/contoured shoulder straps are hands down the best on the market. We are using the most expensive, highest quality foam manufactured in the textiles industry wrapped with air/spacer mesh underneath an outer layer of softshell material. This combination gives the shoulder straps a soft, but firm feel and the ergonomics of the design prevent snags on neck/beard hairs.

Versatility:

The Minuteman sits on our SLIM™ Pack Frame. The shoulder harness and hip belt can be configured by the user for optimal comfort. 

Laminated laser-cut PALS/MOLLE across the front and sides of the pack provide endless gear hauling options with traditional PALS webbing attachment points for lashing straps on the top and bottom. Vertical daisy chain loops running up each side allow for weaving shock/bungee cord tie downs or attaching buckles for hanging various items.

The side pockets are great for securing tripods, rifles, or other long items on the outside. The bottom panel also contains MIL-SPEC PALS webbing for lashing sleep systems or other gear to the bottom of the pack. 

Scalability: 

Starting at 30 liters (1850 cu-in) and scalable up to 50+ liters using our optional frame extension kit, sustainment pouches, top lid, and sleep carrier system, this bag can turn into a solid rucksack/patrol pack loadout. For even more capability, our chest rigs can be attached to the shoulder straps or front of the pack as an extra pouch and stabilized around the waist using the included compression straps/buckles, or attached to the removeable hip belt and used as a full belt kit/butt pack.

Interior Organization:

The large main compartment has a clamshell opening and is lined with laser-cut plush loop Velcro on the interior walls for attaching hook-backed inserts or MOLLE pouches, making it easy to access and organize items. 

An interior mesh zippered pocket can fit gloves, hats, scarfs, water filtration systems, or similar sized objects. The back wall has a sleeve for water bladders, laptops, or or other flat items.

Durability:

The Minuteman Pack is named after an elite force who were hand-picked during the American Revolution and required to be highly mobile and assemble quickly. It is currently being used by active-duty military, withstanding the harshest of environments while handling significantly more weight than the average pack in its size class.

This is achieved by reinforcing all critical connection points with bartacks and triple stitching, and using the strongest USA-made materials available in the industry.
