Pack Recon: High Ground Gear’s New HG831

by Matthew Cox on October 4, 2012 · 2 comments

High Ground Gear recently unveiled its new HG831 at Modern Day Marine. I spent some time at High Ground’s booth, checking out the many features of this new, extremely modular three-day pack. It combines a 3,000 cubic-inch pack with High Ground’s existing HG830 load-bearing platform. Here’s a video that shows what you get with HG831.

The HG831 will retail for about $460 and should be available soon. It’s expensive, but not a bad deal when you consider that the HG830 with quick-release waistbelt — which is now part of the HG831 system — costs about $360 by itself.

All of those expensive fancy packs yet I see Solder and marines in combat still carry 90s era MOLLE and ALICE packs.

nice design and light weight but shorten straps so they dont hang up in multi-close quarter,s.and make the quick relece coulping,s different more secure thoes type break to easy in combat situitions and even everyday use nothing worse then having vital gear trailing behind you running with a broken snap.
