HALIFAX MEDIUM BACKPACK®
The HALIFAX® medium backpack is a fully mission-configurable patrol pack. It futures a large main compartment closed with YKK® #10 zippers. The interior is lined with velour fabric that allows mounting of additional pouches. The back of the interior panel is also covered with laser cut MOLLE/PALS, to re-configure this pack for a medical pack, assault pack, breacher pack or even a radio pack with internal anchor points. The top part of the flap has two additional pockets, with one of them lined with velour. The outer layer of the pack is covered with laser cut MOLLE/PALS.
Heavy duty shoulder straps will redistribute the weight of the carried gear. Additional anchor points on bottom and sides, along with reinforced construction of the whole pack make it “jumpable” for airborne operations. Zippers on front, the same as on the rear panel of SPITFIRE®, allow mounting any of our back panels, making the HALIFAX® even more scalable.

As a big supporter and user of Direct Action's Dragon Egg, I quickly picked up the Halifax when it was released in Ranger Green. My primary use for this pack was as a patrol pack on both mechanized and dismounted operations in heavily rural (forests, swamps) environments. I would pack only mission essential kit - including radio(s), spare batteries, spare barrels and ammo. It often had enough extra space for a rain jacket, extra socks, and a warm-puffy. After almost 2 months of heavy use on exercise, the Halifax's strengths are it's large amount of storage (40L), durable and tight to the body design and modular selections (I attached 2x Utility Pouches XLARGE to the front). Though great is almost all aspects of tactical use, the most significant issue I found with this pack it's interference in adopting a prone firing position with a helmet (note*** my country's issued helmet is quite large compared to "higher speed" helmets). The Halifax sits high on the back, which though good for weight distribution and mobility, causes some issues when trying to take up a firing position in the prone with the pack on. The easy solution was to loosen the straps, dropping the pack enough to raise your head and then tighten once on the move again. Fine when you have time, a bit of a pain when in an engagement needing fire and movement. Other than that, the Halifax is a great pack. I would highly recommend it as an urban or built up area pack and/or as someone who needs to carry additional kit. Thanks Direct Action for the great pack!

I initially bought this from Amazon to use for hiking. It is very light weight and probably the most comfortable backpack I've ever owned. I will use it for shorter hikes and bow hunting, I really like the full molle panel on the back and strap loops where I can attach my bow to the back. It also allows me to zip the additional back panel pack in case I need to carry more, and even use the smaller pack as a day pack or for scouting around after setting up camp. This is a great backpack for hiking, hunting and camping as it's just enough room for everything and expandable for winter months if you need to carry more clothing. Compared to other packs I've tried and really didn't like much such as Eberlestock, this is half the weight of comparable sized packs and the quality is just as good. Definitely recommend this if you want to remain light but have a strong/sturdy pack that will stand up to the elements and abuse of the woods.

As an owner of several Direct Action backpacks, chest rigs and plate carriers I expected the same level of quality when I ordered the new Halifax backpack and I was right. This pack is very comfortable under load and small enough to bring on aircraft. I prefer this pack over my more expensive "M" Ranch pack due to the available pockets and comfort it provides.
