Product Description

The Paratus 3-Day Operator's Pack is the crown jewel of the 3V Gear backpack line. It all started with our search for a great bug out bag (BOB). Disappointed with the quality and cost of most tactical and military backpacks we decided to create our own.The Paratus 3-Day Operator's Pack is not only the toughest and most versatile military style bug out bag on the planet, but it is comfortable to carry. It does not matter how cool a tactical pack looks unless it feels good when you wear it, right? The Paratus tactical backpack makes long distance hiking or walking easy and comfortable, while the detachable deployment pack and MOLLE pouches allow you to ditch the larger pack for rapid excursions. This makes the Rapid Deployment Pack perfect for keeping your med kit and other essentials. It can also double as a great vehicle bag.

Padded shoulder straps, double stitched seams, self-healing zippers, 600D PVC backed polyester and almost 2,500 cubic inches of storage space make the Paratus 3-Day Operator's Pack the best military or tactical style backpack. Military spec MOLLE adorns most of the bag allowing you limitless options for attachments and arrangements.

The Deployment Pack is fully MOLLE compatible and will attach to any MOLLE pack, vest or other gear. This compact pack has a convenient grab handle or it can be carried with the concealable waist/shoulder belt. Perfect for when you need to grab your kit and go or for 100 other possible uses, i.e. first aid kits, ammo bags, climbing harnesses, survival kits, or other emergency situations.

A molded EVA back panel aids with airflow against your back and gives the backpack additional structure. Padded shoulder and waist straps give comfort and support while keeping the backpack secure.

Great bag for a cheap price

Great bag for a cheap price
Just got it today. Opens the package and first thing that came to mind is this thing is huge!! It's perfect for all my gear. Everything on this bag is built to last. It's Molly compatible which is perfect. And what's nice is some compartments have a Molly system like the two on the side so if you want you can take them off and exchange them to fit whatever your doing. All in all this is definitely a great bag!!!! However I'm editing this a bit upon inspecting the bag even more I noticed that the flap in the main compartment had one side ripped off. No big deal for me but I just wanted to warn all of you. Let me know if this helped you or not thanks. Hi I'm editing this review now cause I've had the bag for almost a year and since then it has been through hell ( 3 tactical classes, three camping trips, 3 snowmobile trips wayyyy up north, and 5 days of hunting up north.) And I can honestly say that the bag still looked the same as when I got it. If you still find this review helpful please don't hesitate to hit that thumbs up button. P.S. The last two pics are a month old.
