Grade Used A+
When it comes to tactical load carriage, the British Army Virtus MTP 40L Daysack is the gold standard for versatility and ruggedness. As genuine military-issue kit, this daysack is engineered to withstand the most demanding operational environments, making it the perfect choice for serving personnel, cadets, and serious outdoor enthusiasts.2
Advanced Ergonomics & DWD Integration
The Virtus 40L is designed with user comfort at its core. It features unique contoured, pivoting shoulder straps that automatically adjust to your body shape and the layers of clothing or body armour you’re wearing.3
For those carrying heavy mission-essential gear, the pack integrates seamlessly with the DWD (Dynamic Weight Distribution) System.4 This allows the user to shift the weight between the shoulders and hips on the move, significantly reducing fatigue and the risk of long-term back injury.
Elite Organization & Rapid Access
Efficiency is critical in the field. This pack offers a 40-litre total capacity, including a dedicated 22-litre equipment compartment to keep your primary gear separated and secure. Unlike standard top-loading bags, the Virtus Daysack features front-compartment access, allowing for rapid equipment retrieval without having to empty the entire pack.
Built to Survive: Materials & Construction
Constructed from a strategic blend of 330, 500, and 1000 Denier Cordura fabrics, this pack offers the perfect balance between being lightweight and incredibly abrasion-resistant.5
