MILITARY BACKPACKS

Military Backpacks & Army Backpacks

Having the tactical gear and survival equipment that is required while on deployment or on assignment is important to law enforcement and military personnel. Depending on the situation and assignment, there may be the need to carry supplies such as IFAK kits, tactical flashlights, and even hydration systems. Tactical backpacks are suitable for long-distance hiking, law enforcement, military deployment, and outdoor adventures.

When in search of a military backpack many consumers get confused between a tactical backpack and a military backpack. Some people use them interchangeably, but there can be a difference in their features.  

Military Backpack vs Tactical Backpack

Both tactical and military packs have similar benefits and features. A differentiating aspect of a military pack is the weight, construction, and compartment design.

Military backpacks are usually on the heavy side, they are super durable, made to be carried through harsh conditions, and are generally easy to organize. They also give the ability to attach multiple tactical pouches, mag pouches, and additional MOLLE gear.
