The Molle (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) Backpack was designed by the U.S. Military in the late 90’s to replace the ALICE Pack (which we coincidentally also have!). It’s an all-purpose lightweight assault pack perfect for all of your short missions, like, you know, going to the gym or buying Doritos. MOLLE is water repellent, and includes one large zippered pouch (with internal pouch), one buckled cargo pouch and removable straps. Our custom refurbishing includes a tough rock enzyme wash to soften the material and each backpack is finished with an individually numbered WINTERCHECK FACTORY® ID tag. We have removed any extra unnecessary straps or buckles from these bags to make them more lightweight and civilian-friendly.
We found a spattering of miscellaneous items left in these bags, from whistles to canteen covers. About one out of every seven bags will include an envelope with a recovered item enclosed.
