MOLLE Gear: Eagle Becker Patrol Pack



Make: Eagle Industries
Model: Becker Patrol Pack MOLLE
Color Pictured: Khaki

Impressions
I love this pack.  It's versatile, it's adaptable, it's low profile when almost empty, but expands three fold to accommodate a heavy load.  Throw in the fact that it carries Eagle's reputation for making top quality gear and you just can't go wrong.

This bag pretty much has a MOLLE loop everywhere you can think of which makes it insanely configurable.  As usual, the interwebs will be full of pictures of this pack clean and bare, so I'll only show pictures with several pouches mounted to give you some idea of how it looks with gear on it.


The picture at the top of the post along with the next two here show the bag filled to about average capacity (it could handle more).



Now here's the same bag but with less inside.  Notice how the main flap folds neatly down into place.

The small pouch you see at the bottom is a Tactical Tailor horizontal utility pouch (1H).


The pouch on the left is a Tactical Tailor strobe/compass pouch.  On the right is a 50 Series Universal Hardcase.



On the left is a Tactical Tailor 7.62 single mag pouch.  On the right is a TAD Gear folding dump pouch (RDDP1).





























The main compartment has a weatherproof top...which rolls up and fastens with a Fastex buckle.

















When there's not much in the bag, I like to push the weather proof cover down into the main compartment to keep it out of the way.


Here's a shot with the top flap open to expose the additional rows of MOLLE.  There's more MOLLE than you'll know what to do with...















The main compartment has side pockets front, rear, and on both sides.  This shot is taken with the pockets pulled into view.















This is the same angle but with the side pockets pushed out of the way.















The top flap has a zippered pouch compartment for misc items.


The zippered pouch open.

Big beefy handle at the top.

You can run your drinking tube through a hole in the top flap, otherwise it seals closed with a hook and loop patch.

The fabric on the back is lightly vented.  The straps are padded.  It comes with an padded waist belt, but I've removed mine and haven't yet needed it to make the pack comfortable.














This tag means you've likely got a quality piece of merchandise.
