The Difference between Military Backpacks And Ordinary Outdoor Backpacks?

The army's requirements for the weight of the load are relatively complex. On the one hand, it is impossible for the infantry on foot to carry too much weight. After all, it is not an ordinary civilian crossing. It only needs to be able to persist to the end. It also needs to deal with various emergencies and have the physical strength to fight at any time. , and also has to carry dozens of kilograms of weapons, so the military backpack for hiking will not be too large and the load-bearing capacity will not be high.

Structural differences

The vast majority of military backpacks use external frame bags, while outdoor backpacks, as far as the current market situation is concerned, all have internal frame bags. The difference is as clear literally as it is in reality. Internal rack bags mean that the bracket at the rear of the backpack is inside the bag, while external rack bags mean that the bracket is outside the bag and can be clearly seen. In the early days when processing technology was immature, external frame bags once dominated the world. The main body of this backpack was actually an H-shaped, U-shaped, or mouth-shaped metal shelf, plus one or several ordinary backpacks hung on the shelf. form an identical carrying system.

Differences in materials

Early military bags and outdoor bags were made of the same material: the canvas frame was also made of metal. Today's military bags still adhere to the styles of ordinary canvas and Oxford cloth. Due to the large load-bearing requirements, the metal brackets are basically still the same. Outdoor bags are basically made of lighter DuPont fabrics (also the fabric of high-end military bags), and the brackets are mostly made of light metal, and some even use carbon fiber. There are also ultra-light backpacks designed for high-altitude mountaineering, which use lighter and stronger materials to control the weight of the backpack to two kilograms or even less. The weight of military bags is basically higher than that of outdoor bags.

Differences in details

High-end military backpacks often have a quick-release button design, which makes it easier to quickly remove the backpack for counterattack after encountering an enemy. Of course, outdoor backpacks definitely do not have this requirement and do not have this button. However, some outdoor bags will have an extra whistle attached to the badge. Yes, I haven't seen a military bag yet. The appearance of military backpacks is usually cleaner and neater, and there are no miscellaneous external attachment points on ordinary outdoor backpacks, but this is not conducive to hanging trekking poles, ice axes, spare shoes, coats, and water bottles when we travel. . . . Hanging a lot of small things that we might use at random - it's annoying to always have to take off the backpack and open it to get them - is a waste of energy and is a hassle in itself. And there are often things that are inconvenient to put in a backpack and need to be carried externally.

Difference in quality

The quality of military backpacks must be resistant to pulling. Quality is the first priority, followed by price. Good quality backpacks can effectively protect the lives of soldiers. Generally speaking, civilian backpacks should be purchased with comparable quality and price, which is what we often call high cost performance.
