Not all backpacks are created equal and First Tactical is aware of that. The Tactix 3-Day Plus Backpack is yet another evolution step in this original design backpack line. This backpack is adjustable in so many ways, that it will fit absolutely everybody. It is suitable to harsh conditions and perfect for all who practice bushcraft, airsoft or are directly involved in combat operations and look for quite a voluminous way to carry their gear.
This First Tactical backpack combines several features together to create a unique and unmatched product. The entire backpack is made of the water-proof 500D / 1000D nylon making the product both lightweight and firm. All zips are made by YKK , a quality Japanese manufacturer, and thanks to their solid sliders they guarantee a firm grip even when wearing gloves. All plastic buckles on straps and webbing have a truly professional design as they are manufactured by Duraflex.
The backpack's total volume is 62.2 litres with the weight of 2.48 kilograms. This makes it a highly efficient tool for carrying a considerable amount of gear of bigger size. The backpack can be gripped by reinforced handles located on the top of the backpack and on its sides. This way it can also be carried in hands in vertical or horizontal positions. The back of the backpack is made of quality mesh and filled with foam. Thanks to this, the backpack does not press against your back. Shoulders straps are foam-padded in a similar way. Based on that, the backpack can be carried with maximum comfort and no troubles.
The backpack is almost entirely covered with MOLLE compatible webbing to attach additional pockets and pouches. These Lynx system platforms can be found on the backpack's entire surface except for the back. The backpack has a number of compression straps, which are completely removable and can be used only when needed. Otherwise, they can be stashed inside the pack not to get in the way when we do not need them. The shoulder straps are adjustable in length in order to fit any size of back or shoulder span of the user.
If we look at the backpack as such, we will find 3 organizational platforms which work on the velcro basis, to which you can attach any additional equipment or other stuff. 2 of these platforms are located right up front on the backpack at the top of the first pocket and on the pocket above it. The 3rd platform is located on the left shoulder strap for quick use. Both shoulder straps are covered with laser cut holes to adjust to your requirements as much as possible.
All compartments are manufactured in a very smart and pleasant way. The backpack has a total of 35 pockets, 11 external a 24 integrated.
On the front, there is a compartment divided into two sections. Behind it, there is an admin pouch. This second pocket also contains several smaller open pockets of different sizes to stash a variety of different things. Thanks to this, all gear in this pocket can be well organized. In addition, there is also an integrated zipped pocket and above this pocket are also specially made metal hooks for keys. Behind the admin pouch, there is another hidden pocket, that cannot be opened all the way, making it look smaller than it actually is. In fact, the pocket reaches all the way down to the bottom of the backpack. Above the front outer pockets, there is another pocket of a slightly smaller volume, in which you can put a flashlight, bandages or charger. At the very top of the backpack there is a zip that provides access to a small padded pocket, ideal for stashing sunglasses or tactical goggles. On the sides of the backpack there are also two middle-sized pockets.
The backpack's main and largest compartment is really big and multifunctional at the same time. The back of this pocket is designed as a large velcro based organizational platform, where you can attach any gear with velcro on its back. This way we can choose what equipment need to be held firmly in place. The front of this pocket contains two non-removable pockets with vertical access from either side and above them, there are two velcro straps for attaching other pockets or equipment. At the very bottom of the backpack, there is a smart hidden small compartment.
One of the other great benefits of this backpack is that it is completely compatible with the rifle case, ideally from the same manufacturer. It is a sophisticated combination of more products, providing the user with more options for their use. At the back of the backpack on its top and at the bottom, there are two zips. If we undo both of them, we can pull through the already mentioned rifle case. Inside this tunnel pocket there are also fastening straps that can be used to fix the case to the backpack. Thanks to this, each rifle owner can carry his gun while keeping his hands free.
The backpack holds firmly its shape and does not fold. This is thanks to the solid backboard in the back of the backpack. However, this backboard is removable and may serve as a snow shovel, broken limb splint or neck stabilizer in the event of an extreme emergency.However, this backboard is removable and may serve as a snow shovel, splint or neck brace in the events of an extreme emergency.
