Tactical Backpacks

The right tactical backpack is essential to your safety, performance, and success. Whether you are going on a day hike, an overnight excursion, or going on a tactical mission, the best tactical backpack offers the perfect combination of practical features, comfort, and ample storage. Tactical backpacks are durable packs ideal for servicemen and women and tactical missions, but they are also great for civilians and everyday use.

SOURCE Tactical Backpacks

Ex IDF soldiers design SOURCE tactical backups for maximum durability, functionality, and comfort. They’re designed to thrive in rough conditions and are built for long-term use. They come in a variety of tactical colors, camo prints, and sizes. SOURCE tactical backpacks offer carefully structured layouts that carry comfortably and keep gear secure.

We offer the most versatile tactical packs in the market for overnight adventures or everyday use. All of our tactical backpacks are equipped with Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment (MOLLE). This allows you to connect a wide variety of pouches and accessories to your backpack so you can carry all the essential items. Each backpack also comes with the capacity to hold one of the SOURCE’s hydration bladders so you can have easy hydration on the go.

 

What Should I Pack In My Tactical Backpack?

All SOURCE packs come with easily accessible compartments to facilitate smart packing, MOLLE webbing, outside buckles, and straps to allow attachment of pouches, tools, accessories, and gear for any mission. High-quality materials ensure the protection of the stored gear and durability against tear and abrasion even from rough usage.

What you pack in your backpack depends on your personal needs for your specific mission/task. For example, a camping trip will require different equipment in the tactical backpack compared to a tactical mission. Both may require carrying a hydration bladder, but someone on a tactical mission is unlikely to need camping gear. SOURCE has a range of sizes of tactical backpacks. Understanding how much you need to pack can change the size of the backpack that you will need.

Whatever you need to pack, our tactical backpacks are designed to hold all you need while providing you with the maximum level of comfort and security.

How to Choose The Best Tactical Backpack for You?

There are multiple things to consider when choosing the tactical backpack that is right for you. Here are some things you may ask yourself before choosing your backpack:

1. How much do you need to pack? If you need a lot of storage space then you’ll need a larger backpack, such as the Pro 95L. If you don’t need as much space, the smaller backpacks are better for you as they still provide ample storage space whilst being lighter and compact, such as with the Commander 10L.


2. Where are you going? If you are going on a tactical mission for multiple days, the likelihood is you’ll need one of the larger backpacks to account for all the equipment you’ll need. If you are going on an overnight camping trip, perhaps a smaller one is better for you. That being said, some camping trips may require a lot of equipment so a larger backpack may be needed either way. Day hikes and day trips most likely require a smaller backpack. All of SOURCE’s backpacks come with the ability to store one of SOURCE’s tactical hydration bladders, so you can be sure to stay hydrated no matter where you are going.


3. How long are you going for? Day trips, day hikes, and even an overnight trip may just require a smaller size backpack. Longer trips may require larger backpacks. It all depends on the amount of equipment and gear you may need to carry. Each of SOURCE’s tactical backpacks has a unique and detailed description of how the bag is divided so you can work out exactly how much space you may need.


4. What are the conditions you are going to? All of SOURCE’s tactical backpacks are fitting for all types of weather conditions. Whether it’s rain, sun, snow, or sleet. That being said, some of our backpacks come with extra straps and buckles, such as the weight strap in the Patrol 35L that may allow for extra comfort if it is raining or there is heavy snow, and you require extra support.

Still lost and need some more help?
Here is what each backpack, in general, is designed for:

The agile Source Commander 10L Tactical Backpack is designed for action in the field and comes with the WLPS Low Profile 3L hydration bladder in its insulated protected hydration compartment. The contoured shoulder straps allow for comfortable integration with tactical vests and body armor.

Popular tactical backpacks include the Assault 20L and Patrol 35L (each includes a SOURCE 3L hydration bladder). They offer ample storage space yet are still compact and comfortable packs that allow for agility and speed in any terrain, thanks to smart compression straps and a hip belt for stability and weight distribution.

Larger tactical backpacks include the Double D 45L and IDF Pro 95L cargo packs designed for multi-day missions and treks, with smart storage options and compartments inside and outside as well as MOLLE and quick-access pockets.
