The internal stays are right over the foam back padding. These features serve to stabilize loads and keep them close to the back. The Spec-Ops Pack has two internal compression straps and a zippered internal pouch in the main compartment. There is a compartment and routing for hydration, along with straps designed to accommodate the popular brands of bladders. The zippers have heavy-duty backing and are double sewn. The main compartment has a heavier external zipper with a sealing inner lip.

The best quality of these zippers is the fact that they are very dust- and debris-resistant, and they are hard to clog.Īll of the TPG zippers can clip together, which guarantees they won’t open accidentally.

I found that even a full downpour would be hard pressed to find its way inside these compartments. On these pockets and the secondary compartment, there is an internal taped lip and self-healing style zipper with lips that meet when completely zipped. The closure has two zipper pulls and they go halfway down the side of the pockets. I stuffed one with a wide mouth 1l Nalgene and a filter and had room left over. This was a bit larger than most 3-day packs, but smaller than an extended deployment pack.Įach water bottle pocket can hold a full-sized water bottle, with room to spare. I tested the medium pack, which has a main compartment, a secondary compartment and two water bottle pockets. It only takes a few minutes of shopping around to see that similar packs with this utility and capacity run almost twice this price. It keeps the hard stuff off the back and does a great job marrying the pack with the contours of the body.
