<h3>Overview</h3><br>

<p> Our Medic pack 18L was designed with and for a client of ours, who needed a full-size military medic pack. This is a very do-all kind of design, not tailored for any very specific contents but suitable and adaptable for different types of setups. It can for example fit the full content of the current Finnish Defence Forces M20 medic pack.</p>

<p>The dimensions, compartments and organization options allow for carrying a substantial selection of medical gear. The main compartment is compatible with hook-backed organizers and the PALS webbing on the front and sides of the pack allow you to carry some gear on the outside of the pack for quick access. The side compression straps also allow for quick attachment of extra gear such as our Askare hip pack.</p>

<p>Due to this being a dedicated medical pack there are no hydration bladder compartments, tube/cable/antenna ports or such. </p>

<h3>Details and features </h3><br>

<p>The large main compartment (dimensions ca. 25 x 38 x 12 cm) closes with a zipper and opens completely for easy access to contents. The back wall of the main compartment is lined with loop for attaching organizers. The inside of the zippered front flap has two flat mesh pockets with zipper closure.</p>

<p>The front flap has a full-size zippered compartment which is accessible from the outside. This compartment is ca. 3 cm deep on the sides, making rummaging through it easier than if it were entirely flat. The loop surface for patches is a bit clever, the sewn-on contrasting medical cross identifier is made from loop fabric too. Thus the whole 15 x 10 cm area can be used to attach hook-backed patches and identifiers.</p>

<p>The smaller bottom compartment (dimensions ca. 25 x 14 x 12 cm) closes with a zipper and two bottom compression straps. This compartment has no internal pockets or organization options. When not in use, the bottom compartment can be compressed flat against the bottom of the pack.</p>

<p>Two side compression straps with SR on either side of the pack offer both compression and a means of quickly strapping gear to the outside of the pack. The side compression straps can be tucked into the back pad compartment if desired, and the female PALS mount buckles can be removed from the front of the pack.</p>

<p>The front and sides of the pack have PALS webbing for attachment of extra pouches and gear, such as shears, tourniquets and litters.</p>

<p>All outer zippers have two pullers, and all zippers have generous cord loops to silence them and make them easier to use with thick gloves on.</p>

<p>The back is padded and supported with a thick and stiff closed cell foam pad, placed in an open topped compartment on the outside of the pack. The pad can quickly be removed and reinserted. You can use it as a sitting/kneeling pad or use the compartment to carry other equipment, a litter or large hypothermia blankets/bags, for example.</p>

<p>The padded, contoured shoulder straps attach to steel D-rings. The D-rings allow the shoulder straps to turn and conform to various body shapes. The shoulder straps can be removed and replaced if needed. The sternum strap is removable and can be moved up and down the shoulder straps as desired.</p>

<p>A two-part carry handle on the top allows you to quickly grab and carry the pack without closing the zipper. Each side of the pack has a low-profile side carry handle.</p>

<p>Both the main and bottom compartments have water drainage grommets on the bottom. This is a pack that will often get water, snow and slush inside it during use. The drainage grommets allow water to drain out through the bottom pack when hung up to dry.</p>

<h3>Rugged and repairable</h3><br>

<p>The main body of the pack is made from 1000D Cordura for high abrasion resistance, with details such as the back pad compartment being made from lighter and less coarse 500D. The outer zippers are covered and have two pullers, so you always have a backup in case one puller fails.</p>

<p> The shoulder straps are easily replaceable if damaged, the bottom straps can be replaced with any length of 25 mm webbing if needed. All plastic buckles can be removed and replaced without sewing.</p>
