USGI MOLLE II Assault Pack
USGI MOLLE II Assault Pack
The gold standard by which all Assault Packs are measured. The MOLLE II Assault Pack was devised for those situations where a full size rucksack might be too excessive or bulky, such as short three day patrols, and more closely resembles a traditional back pack or book bag with similar dimensions. It's simplistic layout, consisting of a large main pocket and smaller secondary pocket, belies a tremendous amount of versatility and potential. PALS webbing on the front, sides, and bottom, allow for the attachment of canteen pouches, butt packs, sustainment pouches, or whatever else you may need. A total of four compression straps on the sides and two at the top allow for items such as sleeping mats and dry bags to be cinched to the outside of the pack. Loaded correctly with the right combination of pouches, this pack could even function as a medium ruck. Alternatively, you can run it slick, making it ideal for everyday use as you commute to work or school. The shoulder straps feature padding, making them surprisingly comfortable, and space for a small pouch or two to carry a compass or flashlight. They also feature break away emergency release tabs if you need to ditch the weight in a hurry, and simple cross straps at the chest and waist for added support with heavier loads. The interior of the bag includes a panel for a flexible plastic insert and foam pad for additional comfort and stability, as well as heavy duty straps designed for airborne operations. This bag is a must have item that will do everything you need it to and more, and can easily outperform commercial day packs and hiking bags for a fraction of the cost.

Condition Guide
- Assault packs in Good condition may show some signs of use, such as stains, discoloration, and marking, but will include all components and be free of any significant damage.
- Assault Packs in Serviceable condition show greater signs of use and wear and typically lack the rigid plastic backing. Despite this wear, these packs are still fully functional and at most may require minor repairs, and the lack of a rigid backing simply causes it to fit like a normal back pack.
