Tactical Tailor 3-Day Assault Plus
$218, 3.75 lbs, 2850 Cubes
Tactical Tailor's improved 3 day bag ditches the PALS webbing and just gives you a punch of pockets where you'd just stick pouches anyway. What you lose in versatility, you make up for in weight savings. PALS webbing and all the stitching it takes to tack it in place can add substantial weight to a pack.
The 3DAP can carry plenty of gear for a multi-day field problem. In addition to the standard AIII style two compartment setup, there are four more external pockets and compression straps to keep things civilized.
This is a pack that can be easily overloaded since it's soft back didn't include framestays or a frame sheet. Still, the waistbelt was wide and comfortable without armor, so you can still haul upwards of 30 pounds without killing your shoulders.
The pockets are simple, no pen slots or admin shingles. There is a radio pouch in the main compartment that is the color of a VS-17 panel. Maybe you could turn the bag inside out in an emergency or maybe it just brightens up the interior of the bag to help find smaller items.
Lead Tester: Officer "K"
Testers Notes: Great size for an assault pack. Could pack gear in here for more than 3 days. Easily accessible. Could use a little more padding to accommodate radio or laptop. Bag is stable when walking but mobility is limited when in the prone.

Tactical Tailor's Three Day Pack is ideal to carry your essential gear on short missions. Big enough to carry a few days worth of supplies but small enough to not hinder your mobility when you need to move. Constructed of 1000 Denier Cordura Nylon, the pack features one large main compartment, one medium compartment and a flat pocket on the front of the pack. Inside the pack is a sleeve for a hydration bladder and blaze orange lining for emergency signaling. Two covered ports on top of the pack allow for routing of a drinking tube, radio antenna or hand mic. Thick padded shoulder straps and adjustable waist and sternum straps help distribute heavy loads and four compression straps cinch down the contents to keep things quiet. Also features a top mounted carry handle and modular webbing on the front and sides for attachment of additional pouches. Available in OD Green and Tan.

Camelbak BFM 3L (100oz) Hydration Rucksack
$199.95 5.62 LBS 2600 cubes
Product Description
BFM MAX™ GEAR SYSTEM
You're on a long mission and always on the move. Choose a ruck that will support your extended operation. Choose CamelBak's BFM™. Our largest system, the BFM has a versatile load configuration design that can carry it all, comfortably. Pack out 2600 cu. In. [42 L] of gear and up to two 3-liter reservoirs of water internally. The BFM can be ordered with the NEW Chem-Bio Reservoir [4.0] which attaches easily to Type M or Type A gas mask adapters.
Features:
• Full clamshell opening makes adding the New MedBak Insert a breeze $219.95, 5.2 lbs, 3142 Cubes
Making the BFM a little bigger and a little badder, our friends at Camelbak have shaved 1.1 lbs and added 591 more cubic inches of storage. The redesign of the 3-day behemoth includes a shift to 500D Cordura everywhere but the bottom of the pack, new pocket layouts, fleece-lined pockets for optics, and sensitive items (read iPod) wider straps for comfort, and camo printed webbing so your PALS straps don't give you away. The pack opens up flat for easy access and has a large admin pocket up front. The removable frame sheet is up to the task and the waist belt can be removed for streamlined ops.
Camelbak 86ed one useful feature in the upgrade, though. The old pack had triple zippers for the main compartment so you could get in from either side of the bag. Chalk the loss of this little touch to the price of progress.
Lead Tester: Sgt. "James"
Testers Comments: Comes with a large hydration reservoir, which is one less thing to buy. Everyone noticed how light the bag felt for its size.
Big as it is, no one thought it was the largest bag in the group. The plethora of pockets was a hit. The size is awesome. The straps could use more attention to work with body armor; the pack sank a little in the lower back under load.
CamelBak - MedBak Insert
A specially-designed insert to integrate into the CamelBak BFM Hydration Pack. Organize and access life saving medical supplies and convert the BFM into a medic's pack for any patrol. The carry handle also allows independent usage of this innovative CamelBak Maximum Gear accessory.
