In the words of Matt Smith “Backpacks are cool”, and let’s face it add the words tactical, modular, and quick-release to that and gear heads for miles are taking note.

High Ground have launched their new HG830 quick release belt system. It looks great and the video explains everything better than a bunch fo words can:

Finally this revolutionary Quick-Release, Weight Distributing Gear Belt makes it easy to keep your tac belt on while still distributing your HG830 Modular Pack weight to your hips!

This patent-pending design was inspired by countless operator requests for a weight distribution belt that you wouldn’t have to ditch every time you got into an MRAP or arrived at a Sniper Overwatch Position.

Connect this never-before-seen belt technology with our Modular Pack system and you have the most Comfortable, most Customizable, and most Accessible assault pack on the market. Ever. Now you can easily remove and re-don your pack, without removing your pistol belt – by yourself, in the dark, while wearing gloves.

The flexed, internal-frame fits perfectly over body armor to better distribute weight to your hips and the slick MOLLE panel give you limitless cafeteria options to customize your kit so everything is instantly accessible unlike anything you’ve ever used. Make anything from a slick JTAC rig to the perfect Breacher Backpack to the first ever Rocket/Mortar pack. Your battlefield needs can be met, without crushing your shoulders.

Additional Features/Specs

• Quick-Release Waistbelt
• Internal Pocket will hold 4 ergonomic mag-pouch inserts (5.56 or 7.62)
