I'm starting this thread as a kind of resource for any and all 3-Day Assault Packs out there. Seems there are always people starting a new thread asking what's good, what's not, or just what's out there.
This isn't really intended as a review thread... simply because I haven't owned every 3 Day Assault Pack (which I'll refer to as a 3DAP on occasion) that is made, though I've certainly admired many of them. If any of the information is wrong or you'd like to add something to one of the posts IM me and I'll edit it into the appropriate thread to keep things nice and neat. |

Obviously I'm going to put the Mrauder as one of the first ones on here. However, I'll just let the other discussions and pictures speak for the pack. Otherwise this post will become terribly biased.

Lightfighter R.A.I.D.
Obvious "physical" similarities to the Marauder, but don't ever say that in front of an owner of the opposing pack... their panties seem to get all bunched up about it. [ETA: This pack was previously manufactured by Eagle Industries, but is now manufactured by TAG... both exclusively for Lightfighter.com]
What the Marauder has that the R.A.I.D. does not: - interior webbing - waist belt - 8th row of PALS webbing on front panel - more interior volume - internal frame (2 aluminum stays) What the R.A.I.D. has that the Marauder does not: - side pockets (big enough to hold a Nalgene bottle) - bottom webbing - matching color "hardware" - velcro panel - a smaller price tag Lightfighter Tactical Forum Huge ultimate RAID pack thread |

Tactical Assault Gear (TAG)
us.st11.yimg.com/store1.yimg.com/I/tagsupplyco-store_1878_432884 Also similar in appearance to the above two packs but seems to be based more off of the "traditional" 3-Day Assault pack design. You'll see those similarities as I get further into what I consider the "traditional" 3DAP. Tactical Assault Gear's 3 day pack is an improvement on an old design. Our 3 Day Pack is covered in PALS webbing for all of your tactical needs. Main compartment has a sleeve for your hydration bladder or a frame sheet. Hydration port is designed to accommadate all mouth pieces on the market, without taking them apart to feed it out of your pack. Shoulder straps have been widened to keep the straps away from your neck and on your shoulders where they belong. Sternum strap is fully adjustable and can be placed in (7) different locations along the length of the shoulder straps. A padded waist strap is included for your comfort. Backed by a lifetime warranty. |

Blackhawk Industries 3 Day Assault Pack
I generally consider this to be the "first" 3DAP, simply because it's the first one I ever remember seeing. I honestly don't know who was the first company to come up with this type of pack. From what I've read on here I believe BHI actually copied this design from Eagle Industires (can be verified by checking out patents I suppose, but that's not really the intent of this thread... )

This pack looks like a "watered down" version of the above pack:
Eagle Industries MOLLE STYLE BECKER PATROL PACK (BPP-MS) The BPP-MS combines modularity with a solid top loading pack. We took the main compartment of our Becker Patrol Pack, which offers an impressive 1100 cubic inches of cargo capacity, and covered it with MOLLE compatible cross webbing. This cross webbing allows you to mount pouches in just about any location offering you endless possibilities when loading out. BPP-MS Features: ** 1" Mil Spec. webbing for MOLLE attachments. ** MOLLE webbing on waist pad. ** Internal slip pockets for maximum organization. ** Inside slip pocket accommodates optional rigid internal frame. ** CamelBak® compatible. ** Lammy suede nonslip shoulders. ** Coolmax padding on back and interior of shoulders. ** Removable sternum strap. ** Made In The USA. <hr height=1px color=black noshade> Anyone ever see, own, or handle on of the Blackwater packs? |

Tactical Tailor 3 Day Assault Pack
This is where you will start to see design similarities compared to the BHI and other company's 3DAPs. The First noticalble difference between the TT and the BHI3DAP is the PALS webbing on the exterior front and sides panels. The compression straps are alos located higher up on this pack. This medium-sized frameless pack is constructed to outlast its owner and provide years of rugged use. The pack has three compartments; one large pocket, and two smaller pockets. Altogether, it's large enough for several days' worth of supplies. The large main compartment has an internal sleeve to hold a hydration system, plus two covered ports for routing of the drinking tube (or alternatively, a radio antenna or hand mic). The inside bottom of the pack is lined with blaze orange fabric to make locating items inside more easily, or for use in emergency signaling. The pack has 3/4" thick padded shoulder straps to make heavy loads more bearable. There are webbing attachment points built into the sides for gear pouches, canteens, or other accessories. The pack is equipped with top and side compression straps so the pack can be cinched down if not full. Our packs are made in the USA and are guaranteed for life. Total capacity is 2100 cubic inches. Available in OD, Black, Camo, or Tan. |

The Eagle MOLLE Becker has been around a lot longer than Blackwater's gear. |

Eagle Industries
Starting to notice a common design now? The A-III MOLLE obviously being the more "pimped out" version of the original A-III. A setp up from the features of the Tactical Tailor it has some more rows of webbing and a velcro panel. A-III PACK (A-III-P) Works with CamelBak® or other hydration systems, includes secondary metal "D" ring on shoulder straps for positioning hydration hose. The A-III-P dimensions are as follows. The dimensions are listed in inches, as W x H x D. Main compartment = 16 x 20 x 7, 2240 cubic inches. Cargo pouch = 12 x 16 x 2, 384 cubic inches. cargo slip pocket = 12 x 16, This is a flat slip pocket on front. If you demand adaptability, durability, versatility, and quality; this is the pack for you. We built it with heavy duty 11 oz. abrasion resistant Cordura® nylon. Stitched it with E-69 bonded nylon thread, put in a heavy duty #10 Ykk zipper on the main compartment and, as always, we use only top quality Fastex® buckles. For comfort, the A-III has a padded back, padded shoulder harness, and a removable waist belt. Some of the outstanding features found on the Eagle A-III are: 28" removable sleeping bag straps, 16" removable cargo straps and a removable chest strap. It is the finest medium sized zippered pack we produce. That makes the A-III the best mid-sized zippered frameless pack available. Color: Black, Olive Drab, Khaki and Woodland Camouflage are standard. Other colors avilable upon special request for an additional charge.<hr height=1px color=black noshade> MOLLE STYLE A-III-P (A-III-P-MS) The A-III-P-MS is the latest version of one of our most popular packs. We took our standard A-III-P and infused versatility by adding MOLLE webbing to its exterior. The new A-III-P-MS still possesses the unmatched quality and reliability that made the standard A-III-P so popular and at the same time offers modular bliss. A-III-P-MS Features: ** 1" Mil Spec. webbing for MOLLE attachments. ** 3-pocket construction for maximum compartmentalization of items. ** Inside slip pocket accommodates optional rigid, internal frame. ** CamelBak® compatible. ** Fully adjustable, removable waist pad. ** Easy load and retrieval of items via front-load, clamshell design. ** Removable sternum strap. ** Made In The USA. Color: Black, Olive Drab and Khaki are standard. Other colors available upon special request for an additional charge.<hr height=1px color=black noshade> |

Maxpedition
A pack I seriously considered buying before I knew anything about the Marauders and RAIDs. Maxpedition gear appears to be pretty well made, sturdy gear. As I stated before I have no experience with these packs so it's an opinion based solely on catalog images. The features are slightly different from the previous packs. It does have external webbing on the front and sides but not quite the amount of the Eagle A-III MOLLE. |

Great idea for a thread.
Question... The ones that are "hydration compatible" do they have a place for a bladder or a place for a bladder in its carrier? I have a camelback and I'd like to store it complete in a threeday pack. |
|
I thought "E Pluribus Unum" was a good motto, getting rid of it was a self fulfilling prophecy
|
Most of the ones I've played around with have a "sleeve" inside the pack that accomodates the bladder, but not the whole hydration carrier depending on which carrier you have. If you have the basic carrier it's likely you could squeeze it in there, but don't hold me to that. Anything larger you're going to have to either ditch the carrier or figure out a way to attach it to the outside of the pack. The sleeve, depending on the pack you're working with can either be accessed externally or you have to load it in through the main comparment (usually just a material divider in the back of the main compartment) and there is some sort of "port" on most if not all packs for running the hydration tube out from the compartment. It's probably a good idea to see how the bladder is loaded. The ones that have a separate compartment are less likely to "sweat" on your gear than those that more or less share the space inside the main compartment. I have a Camelback BFM, which is more or less a Motherlode on steroids. That has a whole separate compartment for the bladder which cuts down on condensation getting on your gear. Blackhawk and Camelback both make a 3DAP that is "marketed" as a hydration system.

Usually in the hydration compatible packs there is a pocket sewn in to hold the hydration device with an access slot cut in the top for the hose.
Nice thread! Great idea Pathfinder74. A few more of these types of threads covering the most sought after items (plate carriers/vests/chest rigs/mag pouches etc.) would be a great resource. |

Diamondback Tactical
BattleLab Three Day Assault Pack This is the ultimate three-day assault pack with features that include interior hydration sleeve, access to large main compartment through the top opening and a bottom half-moon zippered opening. This innovative bottom opening design gives you ready access to that vital piece of kit you just happened to stuff in the bottom of your bag when you really need it. The exterior has PALS/MOLLE webbing for additional pouch attachments. Shoulder straps and back panels are padded with Drylux material for enhanced comfort and durability. There is also an optional accessory waist belt that can be added to the pack for increased carry capacity. The belt features PALS/MOLLE attachment points for adding extra pouches and can be used with the pack or stand-alone. Antenna ports and hydration hose port are located at the top of the pack. Also features a robust carry handle. Engineered strength and durability were paramount in the design and manufacturing of this pack.

This is actually marketed as an medical pack, not an "assault pack", but I thought the design was kind of interesting. If nothing else it's a link to their page to check out some of their other packs. They have some interesting designs.

This is a pretty sharp looking pack... but the price is so sharp it'll cut your wallet into pieces.
It does have a really interesting feature with the expandable lower pouch. I'd love to see this feature in more packs. It'd be great for popping a "wooby" poncho liner and/or lightweight sleeping bag (depending on the volume). S.O. Tech (Special Operations Technologies) Mission Pack S.O. Tech Backpack, Medical/Trauma, Large (MPMD) S.O. Tech's super-comfortable Mission Pack with an expandable, lower pouch that zippers up and is concealed when not in use. This ovesized three-day pack is perfect for holding the medic's gear in modules that drop into the main compartment and his field gear can go in the expandable lower pouch and external compartments. When not performing medic duties, the soldier can remove the modules and use the pack as a field pack. Product Catalog: Packs |

Their site was kind of my starting point for this thread before I started digging through my pile of "favorites" links. ps. I'm not an advertising whore for them or anything. After going through so many of the manufacturer's websites and seeing some seriously crappy pages, I have a serious appreciation for Lightfighter's layout. ETA 16Jan07: I'm not sure when Lightfighter changed to ATS Tactical but their website is just as good in terms of viewing the various packs and selecting them based on type or manufacturer. |

Has anyone checked out the Kelty MAP-3500? It doesnt scream uber-tactical ninja, but it does look like it has some desireable features and comes in great colors. 3,500 cu's seems a bit bigger than alot of the other 3DAP's, but it looks like they packaged it well. Check out the link...
http://www.amronintl.com/safety/products.cfm?id=631 Edit: how do I make the link hot?? |
|
This isn't a zip tie. It's a USGI tactical disposable polymer retention system.--metroplex
|
I didn't originally put that one in because the cubic volume went a bit beyond the regular 3DAPs but it looks like a sweet pack. I'll do it anyay. it doesn't seem to be featured/listed on the Kelty website so I'm just pulling the images off of a retailer page. If they red-x out I'll find some from another site. Do a Google search for the pack name to find other retailers.

|
|

I agree 3500 is a bit large. If they could make a MAPII with 2200 cu's or something that might be cool. I had to do a search on it as well because their website didnt have it. The link I gave has them for $120's I believe. I think for the guy that wants/needs more space this might be a good deal, the price is decent anyway. I dont own this pack, just thought it looked promising. How about the kifaru Express? Looks like a good slim design. |

and what is the definition of a 3 day pack?
|
|
|
A pack that is capable of holding enough gear to sustain you for 3 days. - may or may not have internal frame - may or may not have a waist belt that may or may not be removable - generally has one main compartment and 1 or more secondary pockets How's that? |

"There are advantages to a .308 as well, you can shoot bears and refrigerators."

It's expensive as hell, but I have a London Bridge Geronimo OPFOR model. Internal frame, some external pockets, used to strap a M240B tripod underneath it, put about 600 rounds of belted 7.62mm in it (100 round box in each of the externals), and still have room for some snivel gear. Made a good RTO bag after I changed slots too. I bless my grandmother for having great taste in birthday presents.
Lightfighter can be great to deal with, I've been buying junk from Brad since he was still running that place out of his garage. |
|
|
I had a discussion with Pyro over in Lightfighter about LBT, particularly the EOD pack. He was pretty adamant about how the their packs definitely did not justify the high price tag. I don't know him personally nor can I verify the validity of his comments. Just something to beare in mind. |

theres merit in his comments... LBT products do tend to be more overpriced for what you get... but then again since a fair chunk of the customer base has uncle sugars bankbook on hand then whos to complain.

Any experience with this company?
Eberlestock Has anyone used this particular pack: http://www.downrangesports.com/browseproducts/Eberlestock-Spec-Ops-Gunslinger-Pack.html |
|
|
Discussed pretty well in this thread: Eberlestock Special Operations Backpacks I would consider that more or a "mission pack" as opposed to a 3-Day Assault Pack. It has some nteresting features that I wouldn't mind seeing as seperate "parts". |
||
"There are advantages to a .308 as well, you can shoot bears and refrigerators."
JerodJohnson "You know that Nazi's had pieces of flare, but they made the Jew's wear it." |
I've had two LBT bags, both personally paid for. One was stolen, and I still have the other.
I bought my Geronimo in 2002 before they got so expensive, it was about 240 then and it's close to 400 now. Worth it today? Probably not. But it's an anvil of a bag. Heavy, but it's been abused most every way a bag can be in the field and in combat, and it cleaned up good as new with a power washer. I like the new SOB THE Pack, one of the few bags available in the ACU camo, and lots of PALS webbing on it. Whatever you do, don't buy one of the SDS bags, especially the little one that comes with the MOLLE system. If you're over 14, the straps won't work right on you, and they're just too small to be worth the effort. It's an approach-march bag, not a three-day pack, and it's even too small to hold most of your actions-on-objective gear. |
|
|
If you're going to tell people not to buy something, be a little more specific on the model. I've listed three above, by name. At 2,500 cubic the Pursuit is above average in volume. The Engage is probably pushing it at 1,800 cubic. The first pack listed, the M/A Assault Pack Large, doesn't show a volume measurement, so I put it up giving them the benefit of the doubt. |

JerodJohnson "You know that Nazi's had pieces of flare, but they made the Jew's wear it." |
This thread is brilliant...and timely. A 3-day pack is next on my shopping list, thanks for the help.
|
|
|
Sorry, the "M/A Large", it's the standard one included in the MOLLE kit when ours were issued to us new-in-box before Iraq the first time we went. Well enough made, all the SDS MOLLE stuff held up fine except for a couple of the ruck frames, that bag is just way too small to be a useful design so my question about their civilian name for it is "large compared to what?".
Never seen the other two before. |
|
|
I'm quiet happy with my SDS Patrol Pack. 6 mags in their bandoleer snapped in the outer pocket. Camelback in the internal sleeve. spare clothing and food in the main compartment. If you need more space add pouches to the outside.
Mine is often set up with (3) grenade pouches, (2) double M16 Mag pouches, and (2) 100 round ammo pouches attached. For even more space add the Molle "butt pack" to the bottum of the pack. |
