Problem
Soldier’s have depended on Buttpacks for years. In theory, they are an excellent method of carrying much needed gear low and close to the body. Problem is, when they are attached to military web gear, it is nearly impossible to access contents without the aid of a buddy, or worse yet – removing your entire set of web gear. This wastes time and unnecessarily puts the soldier at risk.
Solution
S. O. B. – Soldier’s Optimized Buttpack. A workhorse built for the modern warrior: the modernization of an old standard: the Buttpack. This S. O. B. has 3 compartments with zippered entry to allow the soldier instant access to critical gear while on the move. No more straps and flaps to fool with. The need to remove web gear or ask for assistance is gone. Larger, more rugged than conventional Buttpacks, this S. O. B. means business!
Features and Benefits of the S. O. B. :
- Constructed from 1000D Cordura™.
- Main body compartment has white ‘DURA’-panel liner: provides added water resistance and increased visibility of contents.
- Multiple gear loops for additional gear attachment points (works well with the X-System from Spec-Ops Brand).
- No exposed stitching along seams.
- Fully seam-taped interior, double needle stitched.
- Dual side pockets with grommet drain holes allow the soldier easy access on the move.
- 3 zippered compartments: main body compartment has ‘storm-fly’ zipper cover for extra element protection.
- 4 welded mil.-spec. ‘D’-rings for attachment to military web gear.
- Carry/hang handle.
