Ratel Mk2 – a 25L tactical backpack for patrols, day missions, and everyday challenges
Need a backpack that performs in the field and fits into urban life? The Ratel Mk2 combines the rugged simplicity you expect from military gear with the functionality you need for daily use. With 25 liters of capacity, a lightweight build, and expansion options, it’s a versatile choice for missions, travel, or the urban jungle.
What’s new in the Ratel Mk2 compared to the original?
We improved the classic Ratel design to make it even more practical. The updated pocket layout with an organizer in the lower compartment, additional MOLLE/PALS attachment points, and enhanced carrying ergonomics are changes you’ll appreciate in the field. The Ratel Mk2 is now more versatile and comfortable – ready for any mission.
Simple, proven design – full functionality
The main compartment is spacious and hydration-bladder compatible. On the front, you’ll find two additional pockets:
- a top pocket with a hook-and-loop panel for personalization,
- a lower rectangular pocket with a built-in organizer for pens, maps, documents, and EDC gear.
MOLLE/PALS webbing on the front and sides allows you to expand the pack with extra pouches, a medical kit, or tool carriers. Compression straps stabilize the load and can be used to secure a mat or additional gear.
Is the Ratel Mk2 suitable for urban use?
Yes. Although this backpack is designed with military use in mind, its compact size and minimalist design combined with tactical functionality make it an excellent, durable backpack for the city.
