How to choose a tactical or army backpack?
Free hands are always useful, but in airsoft they are a necessity. A properly chosen tactical backpack will help you with this, in which you can hide everything you need, and you can also use it in everyday life, for example during trips to the countryside.
Tactical backpacks have gained popularity due to their ease of use, durability, and solid construction, plus they offer plenty of space, versatility and camouflage, everything you need in airsoft.
Set your priorities
Before you make a selection, think about what you actually expect from a tactical backpack. The essential parameters for the selection are:
- Price category
- Capacity
- Material and appearance
- Special functions
Firstly, consider how much you are willing to invest in a tactical backpack. You’ll make a much better choice if you eliminate models that are out of your budget early on. Also consider other equipment: if you have a tactical vest, you probably won’t use the backpack much. If you don’t have a vest, then you can make a selection.
Subsequently, it will be necessary to determine what capacity will be sufficient for your purposes. A backpack that is too big will get in your way, a small one won’t have room everything you need. In our offer you will find tactical backpacks with a volume of 8 to 130 liters, so both minimalists and those who like to carry all their equipment on their backs will find something that suits them. Ask yourself what gear you normally carry with you and how much space it takes up to get an idea of the size you need.
Durable, discreet, and sophisticated
Most tactical backpacks are weatherproof, but special materials can increase water resistance and thereby increase comfort. Ergonomics, breathability, and lightness should be a matter of course. Wide straps distribute the weight of the load evenly, the waist and chest belts relieve the burden on the shoulders. The MOLLE system is compatible with PAMS and PLCE. This way, you can customize your backpack with a variety of accessories to suit your needs. You can also use the pocket for a hydration pack.
The design of the backpack also plays a role: in addition to simply liking it, it needs to correspond in color to the environment in which you most often move about. Airsoft often uses the same or similar camouflage that appears on your other gear to keep you as inconspicuous as possible. Tactical backpacks are of course not produced in rainbow colors, you will find neutral beige, brown, black, and camouflage motifs.
Choosing the right tactical backpack is not rocket science, but it is important not to underestimate anything if you want to feel comfortable in the field and outdoors in all weathers.
