Excited about my new purchase is an understatement. The DG3 backpack by Crossfire Australia with the ability to remove the external pack frame and various interchangeable/removable internal pockets this thing will see a lot of use

Gippsland Bushcraft & Outdoors - Dec 2019

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.

I have a DG16. Last June I took it on the overland track for adventurous training. Awesome. I was one of the few with no comfort issues??

James Toop - Jan 2020

The DG16 is a great pack. I really can't fault it. So supportive and adjustable. This is some serious kit, guys. Thank you for the great service. 6/5.

Love my Crossfire, and I’m a civvy

Paul Mitchell - Mar 2020

The great service from Glenn at Crossfire is only eclipsed by the insanely high quality product that I received. I fully expect, after wearing myself out using the DG16 pack, to see my grandchildren still using it in 20 years time. Top notch piece of kit!

Anthony Pocock - Jan 2019

Best kit going! I’ve still got my oldschool DG-8 SF too which is going strong ?

The DG3 is a very comfortable pack with plenty of space. I put four large plastic pouches on the outside to set it out like a sas mk6 and it worked quite well.

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. Up until 2001, Australia like a number of our close allies received the very best training in the world, some of the most advanced weaponry, but the worst large field packs. In the field, the soldier’s packs […]

The Evolution of the Humble Field Pack (1)

Learning from the past is important as they say otherwise you’ll repeat the same mistakes. Can we learn from old traditional designs, or techniques and apply them to modern design? Are all earlier design’s and technology inferior? External frame backpacks are interesting not only of their more versatile modularity but also because the structural component […]

Different Types of Combat Boots

Light Assault Boots Light models with flexible midsoles are excellent for a fast-moving environment that requires support but not at the cost of excessive weight.

Trends in backpacks these days err towards minimalism and thoughtful, ergonomic design with the use of the latest and greatest in […]
