Up for sale is an exceptionally well made and very rare first production Ares Armor Combat XII Pack in A-TACS FG camouflage with matching webbing. Originally designed for a Marine Sniper Platoon, this military issue pack offers a lightweight, viable solution for short ranged patrol operations. Constructed of 1000D Cordura fabric, no compromise was made on strength and durability, yet this pack weighs only a couple pounds! It is capable of holding up to six magazines and there are two general purpose pouches on the rear of the pack that are "buddy" accessible from either side while the pack is worn. The main compartment is designed to hold several field stripped MREs and either two 100 oz hydration bladders or one bladder and a 117 Gulf. For lightweight loads (25 lb. and under), this pack features a unique direct to body armor wear system that allows the wearer's arms full range of motion. This system enhances the users ability to more naturally move through a combat environment. Included for heavier loads, the pack comes with shoulder straps that can be worn normally. Molle has been added to the sides and rear of the pack to allow the user to add or remove pouches based upon the current mission profile. This system is perfect for short-range, foot mobile R&S style missions where keeping the weight down and mobility high is essential. This pack is also very useful for Point Men or those in leadership positions such as Platoon Commanders, Squad Leaders or Team Leaders that must constantly be moving from position to position throughout the duration of an operation. Note this pack is out of production and almost impossible to find today. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to pick up one of the few original packs left out there! If interested, please send me an e-mail and you can stop by to pick up this one for $200 firm (cash only at time of pick up). Thanks for looking!
