Maxpedition Monsoon Gearslinger Backpack - Khaki, 16lt

Rugged enough for the field and also designed for urban & suburban applications, the original Monsoon Gearslinger carries on your right shoulder and sits on your left hip. It features a durable teardrop-shaped design that includes a spacious main compartment, back-to-back pockets, fixed shoulder strap & concealable waist strap, internal MP3 player pouch & rubberized headphone port and a water resistant protective over-flap. Dual hydration pockets accommodate a 100oz/3L hydration reservoir and 32oz/1L water bottle to help keep you hydrated on long trips, sold separately. The ergonomic fixed-strap Gearslinger rotates 270 degrees to the front of the body, giving you complete top-down access to horizontal pockets. You can easily get to your gear while sitting, standing or moving throughout your day. Manufacturer's Description The Maxpedition GearSlinger series is our premium line of single shoulder packs that bridge the design/functional gap between our classic double shoulder strap Backpacks and our uniquely innovative Versipacks. The single shoulder design allows faster on-and-off, particularly over LBV and body armour and are superior to backpacks in terms of balance and comfort when using a single strap. While there are other "messenger" bags on the market, Maxpedition promises a much more durable product with all the bells and whistles needed for life on the battlefield and in everyday urban use. You can expect the Maxpedition quality and "thoughtfulness" you have come to depend upon and love. The Monsoon GearSlinger (#0410) is our large size single shoulder pack with over 26 litres of total capacity. The quick release padded non-slip shoulder strap has two separate sets of PALS webbing for attachment of accessories. Based on a triangular design, the main compartment contains numerous internal accessory pockets. There is a small internal pocket for iPod or Walkman with rubberized head-phone port. Contents are protected by a padded front cover which is secured by a buckle while contents are secured by two criss-crossed compression straps. On one side there are three rows of PALS webbing over a flat concealed pocket while the other side sport a water bottle pocket capable of holding a 32oz/1L Nalgene. An adjustable waist strap provides additional support and security; this waist strap can be stowed away in a built-in small elastic pocket. There are drain hole grommets throughout and three high airflow islands to keep your back cool. The Monsoon is compatible with hydration system up to 100oz/3L reservoir (e.g. Camelbak). The hydration pocket is also equipped with loop side Velcro for attachment of our Hook & Loop Modular Accessories.
