A stunningly good backpack. I’ve also had a DG6 for the past 10 years and it’s still going.

Mark - Jul 2020

I’ve been using my DG-3 for a couple of years now. I find the harness one of the most comfortable I’ve encountered. In short, I am impressed with my DG-3. A very comfortable and flexible design. With the way that the pack sits on my body, there is sufficient clearance to allow for air flow […]

Packs & Beyond - Mar 2012

The DG16 is the f*ckin best patrol pack out there ? three interchangeable lids. 85L (feels much more than 85) and a well thought out sleeping bag compartment.

The Evolution of the Humble Field Pack (2)

One would think that a country’s soldiers would be afforded the very best equipment that could be provided.
