Viper Lazer Back Packs

Although they’ve always had a good selection of military oriented backpacks, tactical kit specialists Viper has recently added their Lazer range. The prefix refers to their Lazer Cut Molle system. This allows the user to customise by adding components to expand the capability of the pack. It uses 600D Cordura material, cut out using laser flatbed machines and reinforced with tough, lightweight webbing sown onto the reverse.

FEATURES

All packs use external, two-way, heavy-duty zip fasteners with paracord pull tabs, with all strap adjusters and buckles being ABS. Internally, all compartments are either PVC or Nylon-lined to prevent water ingress, plus padded Ventex system back panels afford ‘ventilation and comfort.’ On the last three packs featured this is also applied to the inner sides of the shoulder straps. The outer also has 2 x large clip opening/fasten ABS V-Locks and a full swivel attach, lower D-Lock plus a Velcro ID panel is positioned top side. All packs and utility pouches are available in V-Cam, Coyote, Green or Black.

The 13.5Litre DayPack measures 17 x 7½ x 8” and features two outer compression straps, while the main compartment has an internal mesh pocket, roomy enough to accommodate a small hydration bladder and there’s also a hydration/ coms outlet point. A generously sized front pocket adorns the bottom outer rear. On this model, the harness is practical if basic, with Q/R buckles on the shoulder straps.

Next is the 25Litre V-Pack, which is wider at the top! Measuring 10” above and 7 ½” below at the padded and reinforced bottom, it’s 18 ½” tall. It features a spacious clamshell opening main compartment, plus an internal zipped pocket. Extra stowage is accommodated by three, external pockets. The harness comprises of adjustable sternum and shoulder straps and a generously sized Paracord grab handle for easy pick-ups.

The 35Litre Recon Pack measures 17 ¾ x 9 ¾ x 13”, it has three compartments, so making it ideal for light to heavier generalpurpose use. The main compartment has an internal mesh hydration sleeve and zip-close pocket. The middle has a selection of mesh pockets to keep items separate and there are two outer pockets – laid out in a small over larger pocket configuration. Multiple compression straps enable you to adjust it to the amount you are carrying and the adjustable padded shoulder straps also hold a captive ABS D-Ring apiece, plus there’s an adjustable QR fastening waist strap and grab handle.

Finally, the larger, 45Litre Special OPS Pack, which measures 20 x 15” wide at the base and extends to 9 ½” when full. It features three compartments, front, middle and main - the latter also contains a hydration system pocket with a concealed ‘feed tube’ hole at the top.
