New Old Corpsman Assault Pack Goes Commercial
October 2nd, 2009 | Product Announcement | Posted by Rob Curtis
Propper and Arc’teryx are bringing the USMC’s Corpsman Assault Pack to the commercial market. At it’s root, the CAP is a beefed up ILBE assault pack that’s a bit bigger, has two compartments that combine, a couple of aluminum frame stays and a padded waist belt. Looking at it, the CAP looks like the ILBE programs version of the three-day-assault pack. The pack was originally fielded only to recon units and corpsmen but Propper sees a wider market for the CAP.
The CAP will be available in Multicam, Coyote, Green, Black, AOR1, AOR2, Digital Tiger Stripe and Army Universal Camo.
