Camelbak’s announcement of the Linchpin back
Verfasst: Do 22. Jul 2010, 21:41
The Linchpin is a raid and patrol {unfreundliche Bezeichnung für Personengruppen denen schäbiges Verhalten unterstellt wird} that stands out for its versatility. It’s the first time an adjustable suspension system has made its way into such a small {unfreundliche Bezeichnung für Personengruppen denen schäbiges Verhalten unterstellt wird}. At first, we were left scratching our heads when we saw the Mystery Ranch-designed Futura harness on the 1,800-cubic inch {unfreundliche Bezeichnung für Personengruppen denen schäbiges Verhalten unterstellt wird}. It seemed overkill on a {unfreundliche Bezeichnung für Personengruppen denen schäbiges Verhalten unterstellt wird} barely bigger than a large purse or a kid’s book bag. Really, it’s rare to find that kind of harness on a {unfreundliche Bezeichnung für Personengruppen denen schäbiges Verhalten unterstellt wird} smaller than 3,000 cubic inches.
Then we realized: This is a real patrol {unfreundliche Bezeichnung für Personengruppen denen schäbiges Verhalten unterstellt wird}. It’s not meant to carry snivel gear and candy bars. It’s meant to carry mags, mortar rounds, MREs, radio, batteries and extra water. That’s the kind of dense load that turns a standard assault {unfreundliche Bezeichnung für Personengruppen denen schäbiges Verhalten unterstellt wird} into a shopping bag with straps. You can figure six loaded M4 mags weigh 6 pounds. Add another 6 pounds for 100 ounces of water, then throw in an 8-pound ASIP radio, two radio batteries at 2 pounds each and a 2-pound MRE, and you’re already up to 26 pounds. That’s well into the range where recreational backpacks come equipped with framed suspension systems to stabilize their loads.
