Wisport Raccoon 45L Rucksack PenCott Badlands

The Raccoon 45 liters backpack, part of Wisport line of the latest
generation of survival backpacks, is based on the well-known concept of
its 65 and 85 litres capacity predecessors, being a compromise between
capacity and weight. It’s made of extremely durable Cordura Nylon and
developed in collaboration with Polish Military forces.

Main compartment can be easily divided into two smaller sections by
means of an internal compartment division hood, creating the top section
of 2/3 of the capacity and the bottom one of about 1/3 of total
capacity. The internal hood comes with a drawstring, which partial span
allows carrying long items (rolled foam pad, tripod, etc.). The backside
of the main compartment has a flat hydration compatible pocket, which
can also be used for carrying a laptop or small radio station. Above the
flat pocket are large zip pocket, hook for attachment of hydration bag
and passage hole for hydration hose or antennas. The passage hole itself
is protected against water trickling down the hose or the air. The
access to the main compartment is possible from the top or from the
bottom through the flap closed with a thick, plastic, Wisport branded
zipper. The top flap of the backpack is removable and has two pockets –
also with Wisport zippers.

The main advantage of the Raccoon 45 backpack is fully adjustable FAS
Plus ergonomic military carrier system. The system allows adjusting the
backpack while on the move, depending on the angle of descent or ascent.
This feature is also helpful when wearing any extra equipment such as a
tactical vest or plate carrier.

Wide and ergonomically shaped shoulder straps and padded waist belt help
to distribute weight evenly and relief the pressure. The belt can easily
be detached from the rucksack which allows the use of modular weapon
belts together with tactical vest. Quick-release ITW Nexus buckles allow
the backpack to be quickly dropped on the ground when required.

The compression straps allow the backpack to be adapted to the size of
carried kit and prevent it from shifting inside the bag, which may cause
unnecessary noise, discomfort and disturbance to the balance. Front of
the backpack, side panels and the lid has a multiple MOLLE strap
attachments points, which allow for mounting various MOLLE accessories
i.e. backpack bags, first aid kits and pouches. Moreover, multiple Nylon
straps permit the outside fixation of much bigger items that will not
fit inside, or because they need to remain on hand. Thanks to this the
overall capacity of the rucksack may be significantly greater than
nominal 45 litres.

Amongst many interesting design solutions of this backpack there are
durable rubberized handles on both sides, which are perfect when
crossing fords (rivercrossings) or lifting the backpack from the ground.
What is more, the Raccoon backpack comes with a rain cover as a standard
accessory, hidden in the compartment on the bottom of the bag and
fastened with Hook and Loop.
