The backpack has two smaller bellows-type side pouches. When opened, they hold, for example, PET or Nalgene-type bottles. When folded, they function as a holder for equipment, such as an axe. Two compression straps on the side of the pack keep the pack slim and can be used to secure equipment.
The outside of the pack features durable laser cut Cordura that is fully MOLLE/PALS compatible, but with a slimmer profile.
The egg shape of the backpack means that the backpack has a lower width/height than more square backpacks with the same volume. It also makes the backpack more versatile to carry together with a plate carrier or combat belt as it does not get in the way as easily.

Combat Vent System® is a construction method that really transports moisture and excess heat away from the back. The back panel is reinforced with Polymer, which increases stability, facilitates ventilation in the channels and ensures that the contents of the backpack do not rub. Detachable 40mm waist strap and chest strap.
