I find the pouches to cumbersome to arrange and re-arrange for everyday carry. This built in versatility comes with significant weight. Universal molle pouches are made for medics, soldiers and law enforcement they range from bottle holders to pencil organizers. For those not acquainted with tactical molle accessories, they are extremely varied. It's really an empty grid, which you can build on in order to design your own pocket layout. To get the most out of the best "pocket" on this pack, you've got to use the PALS webbing. All this amounts to a pack that is as durable as anything you can buy at any price. The webbing is sewn and then bar tacked, the seams are double stitched, and the suspension is top notch. This backpack is proudly made in the USA and features all the best materials, including Cordura fabric, Hypalon, large YKK zips, and ITW Nexus plastic hardware. products is paramount: these bags actually accompany soldiers in the field (see their gallery). In this picture, the removable Transporter Tail, a webbing-covered flap, is attached to the pack for exterior storage of items such as a rain jacket (below). Compression comes from the two straps on the top (in line with the shoulder straps) and the two across the middle of the pack.
The Litespeed is a 21.3L (1300in^3) front-panel opener with webbing rows on the front, sides and bottom. However, the functionality and style of military gear is becoming more acceptable in public (see this popular skate backpack). I wouldn't want to be mistaken as someone in the military. As a "civilian," I would not normally choose a tactical pack for commuting in NYC. I have primarily been using the Litespeed to commute, (urban and suburban - the metro north public transit system) 'couch surfing' in NYC, day-hikes and long activities. The Osprey is the lightest and has the most organization, but is the least durable. It's similar in durability and weight to the Mission Workshop, but the FPL isn't waterproof like the MW. But the attention to detail still lets you remove accessories and manage straps to get a clean look without sacrificing functionality.Īs a point of reference, the FAST Pack Litespeed joins my carry quiver among the ranks of the Osprey Momentum 34, the Mission Workshop Rambler and a "3-day" assault pack by Voodo Tactical. The FPL is constructed WAY better than the Voodo pack, but has fewer pockets. Compared to the GoRuck it still looks 'professional military,' covered in PALS webbing. Other tactical bags can be very busy and brutish, but the FLP is designed to be a svelte pack that allows high maneuverability in tight areas such as the jungle (actual or urban). The FAST Pack Litespeed (FPL) is a carefully thought out piece of military gear. I really like bags that have serious functional capabilities and don't skimp on ergonomic straps. Why: To inspire and enhance your world explorations with gear that will help you make it back to tell the tale. What: The best performing gear possible, made in America. Where: Dogpatch, San Francisco, California, USA Who: Patrick Ma, a designer, artist, and former US soldier
