Description
This is not a general-issue pack. It was issued specifically to Special Operations Forces, and stock is extremely limited. If you’re a rucker, backpacker, wilderness guide, or prepping for cold weather expeditions, this is the pack you’ve been searching for.
When every ounce matters and every movement counts, ordinary backpacks often fail. You need a pack that’s built to survive combat drops, carry over 100 pounds, and support your spine under armor. That’s why the US Special Operations Forces chose the Granite Gear CHIEF Patrol Pack after a grueling trial process.
Designed under a Natick contract to meet elite military specifications, the CHIEF Patrol Pack excels in long-range operations, cold weather hauls, and heavy recon loads. It’s built around Granite Gear’s proprietary CHIEF (Composite Hybrid Interchangeable Ergonomic Framesheet). This framesheet is engineered from a reinforced thermoplastic that flexes with your back but never deforms. Whether you’re hiking cross-country or deployed with 100+ pounds of kit, this frame remains stable, supportive, and shock-absorbing. It has survived drop tests up to 40 feet, yet it still weighs under 7 lbs.
The pack features body armor-compatible suspension, adjustable torso length, and pivot-point shoulder straps for custom comfort and flexibility under stress. There are side hydration ports and bottom-routed tube channels for hands-free water access. Dual vertical zippers on the front panel make packing and unpacking lightning fast. An integrated radio pouch supports PRC-117 sets with external antenna routing and slots for two spare batteries near the frame.
The entire exterior is crafted from 500D and 1000D solution-dyed Cordura nylon for maximum Near Infrared (NIR) signature reduction. Reinforced seams, bombproof zippers, and military-grade stitching complete a build that feels indestructible, yet moves like a second skin.
