{"product_id":"spur-tropical-pack-platatex-edition","title":"SPUR Tropical Pack - Platatex Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePlatatac SPUR Tropical Pack – PLATATEX™ Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e takes a proven hot-climate pack and rebuilds it in a lighter, more technical fabric platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrusted for tropical and high-humidity environments, the SPUR Tropical is built around our distinctive \u003cstrong\u003eX-Frame suspension system\u003c\/strong\u003e, designed to hold the pack off the back to improve airflow, evaporation and climate control when moving under load. It also helps push weight into the hips and lower back, reducing shoulder strain during long periods of wear. The removable shoulder straps feature \u003cstrong\u003eAirmesh padding\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the padded waist strap can be stowed away neatly when not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this edition apart is the use of \u003cstrong\u003ePLATATEX™\u003c\/strong\u003e in Ranger Green — a premium \u003cstrong\u003e185gsm, 3-layer technical laminate\u003c\/strong\u003e similar in concept to Gore-Tex™, normally found in high-end outdoor equipment rather than military load carriage. It offers excellent weather resistance, durability and comfort, while being lighter than traditional pack fabrics, reducing overall carried weight without compromising field performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version is also produced using \u003cstrong\u003esalvaged offcuts from our Burrow Bivi Bag production\u003c\/strong\u003e, repurposing high-grade technical material that would otherwise go to waste. The result is a pack with the same proven SPUR Tropical capability, but with a lighter build, advanced material performance, and a reduced environmental footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pack provides a total internal capacity of approximately \u003cstrong\u003e55.8 litres\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving it enough room for sustainment loads, mission equipment, extra layers, and overnight gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main compartment offers \u003cstrong\u003e34 litres (2075ci)\u003c\/strong\u003e of storage and is sized for larger mission-essential items such as radios, batteries, MOE tools, wet weather gear, ECW gear, or overnight sustainment kit. Inside, it includes three zippered mesh pockets for organisation, plus a hydration sleeve and hanger to suit a 3L bladder. Hydration and cable routing is handled through two covered ports at the top of the pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA secondary compartment adds a further \u003cstrong\u003e8.29 litres (505ci)\u003c\/strong\u003e, ideal for extra clothing, panel markers, admin items, or other quick-access equipment, and includes two additional zippered mesh pockets for smaller items such as strobes, cyalume, and loose essentials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the front, a flat zippered pocket provides storage for slimmer items like maps, notebooks, snacks, or other small admin gear that you want accessible without digging through the main load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExternally, the pack features four large side pockets, each with a capacity of 3.38 litres (206ci). These are sized well for issue ration packs, 1 litre flasks, water bottles, or similarly sized mission items. Behind these external pockets is an open channel that allows you to stow longer items, such as tripods, poles, or other elongated equipment, without compromising access to the main pack body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a pack that carries well in the heat, manages weight properly, and gives you real-world organisation for the sort of equipment this pack is actually used for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories pictured not included.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Platatac","offers":[{"title":"Ranger Green","offer_id":51424878592220,"sku":"843912","price":449.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/9505\/1484\/files\/9d82bc91-df0b-4720-b977-895268174831.jpg?v=1781950831","url":"https:\/\/platatac.com\/products\/spur-tropical-pack-platatex-edition","provider":"Platatac","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
