Similar to the M1945 which had external pockets for quick access to weapons & supplies, our M23 Ruck has multiple exterior pockets for quick access to items like waterbottles, phones, & wallets.
Top Loader
Flip up the lid of the ruck, throw all of your gear inside, and still have access to everything you need while your ruck is still sitting up right. The front closure system features adjustable Fidlock Buckles.
Side Access to main compartment
Get quick access to the main compartment from multiple angles. Open up the lid of the ruck for access from the top, or use the side zipper for quick access even if your ruck is still over your shoulder.
BOMPROOF LAPTOP COMPARTMENT
The separate compartment next to your back is extra reinforced to securely take a laptop into combat.
EXTRA PADDED STRAPS & TOP HANDLE
Shoulder straps and top handle are extra padded to carry heavier loads more comfortably.
Zero Abrasion on Fabric & Skin
All-new 210D HT (High Tenacity) CORDURA® on the back panel and underside of the shoulder straps doesn't irritate skin or chew up apparel (looking at you, merino wool).
3 External Pockets
All the pockets for all the organization. 3 external pockets including a front zip pocket, and 2 side zipper pockets that can fit anything from a water bottle to a wallet.
The original M1945 pack system consisted of two packs strapped together. When carried together, this was a soldier’s Approach Pack. It accompanied soldiers as they marched towards their target. Once they reached their target, their Approach Packs were split to carry only their smaller essentials like weaponry, hydration, or rations. This was their Assault Bag. It was packed out for a successful attack.
Out in the field, your rucksack can serve as your lifeline. Pack it right to be ready for any situation.
