UC in useIt’s February and love is in the air. Not just the romance of Valentine’s Day, but a relationship near and dear to every tactically-minded, self-protection-focused gear junkie who loves to carry everything in a pack that suits them perfectly: you and your favorite backpack.

Like many relationships, a love affair with backpacks can sometimes be a bit, well, disappointing. A letdown. It starts out so promising, with all the fireworks and fanfare common to the excitement of a brand new relationship. But then it cools off as you discovered she isn’t really your type after all.

Just like people, backpacks don’t usually change. They’re pretty much one-type-fits-all. All the pockets in the same place for everyone. Hardly custom made. Sure you can get a new one with a different design, but you can’t change the one you already have. Until now.

Propper’s UC (User Configurable) Backpack can be customized to exactly the way you like it. Want to run it slick with nothing attached to the outside? Good to go! How about hanging a pouch or two on the outside to give yourself more storage options? You can do that, too! Want a media pouch on the side to hold your headphones? Or a binocular case for that trek in the woods? You got it!

UC

Here is a list of the available add-on exterior pouches that work with the UC Pack:

  • 2 Pack Assault Kit
  • Adjustable Tool Pouch with MOLLE
  • Reversible Pouch in 4x7, 4x11, and 6x11
  • 2-Pocket Media Pouch with MOLLE
  • 7x6 Media Kit with MOLLE
  • Stretch Dump Pocket in 7x5 and 10x6
  • 8x7 Binocular Pouch with MOLLE

The customization doesn’t end there. Unlike most backpacks, the entire inside to the pack is lined with loop for additional pouches and panels that attach to the hook field on these pouches:

  • 14x10 Padded Laptop Sleeve
  • 16x8 Hydration Sleeve
  • Elastic Organizer Panels: 7x5, 7x9, 10x5
  • Adjustable Tool Pouch
  • Window Pouches: 4x10 and 5x10
  • 6x8 Mesh Pouch

All this customization lends new meaning to the heart-shaped candy sentiment “Be mine.” The Propper UC Pack and you: a match made in EDC heaven.
