We've been kicking around this idea since we introduced the original Kit Bag. The problem with adding PALS to a regular KB is that you don't want any more hanging off of the front of it. The Runner's Kit Bag was first conceived as something to put PALS on the front of, but we felt the urban runner's need was more pressing so we went slick with that offering. We've also been reluctant to make something "tactical" like this. Well, we've had so many requests for something like this we finally decided to put it out there. This solves the needs of the SAR folks who want a dedicated radio or GPS pouch, and also works well for those wanting a spare rifle magazine readily accessible. Using PALS was a no-brainer because of the hundreds of accessories available for that platform. Despite our misgivings about tactical, we're quickly warming up to the idea of this kind of modularity. Here's some of the features:
- Available soon. We've already (01/26/2012) issued purchase orders for multicam and ranger green. Usually that means about four weeks to get through production.
- Pricing - $105 for multicam, $95 for solid colors
- Does Not include lifters or a stabilizer strap. Of course, those are available separately.
- 8 channels, 3 rows of PALS
- Plastic ended zipper pulls like on the regular KB
