SOG’s no stranger to tactical gear, but in a market full of the same old tactical backpacks, it takes something unique to set a bag apart from the rest. This is the Ranger 12 backpack, one of SOG’s new offerings for 2016. Designed to be equally useful as a daypack and light field pack, the Ranger 12 comes with features that make it ideal for everyday carry in both settings.
Let’s start with the first things you see on the Ranger 12’s exterior. Up top is an impact-resistant pocket with internal organization to keep your key essentials within reach. The molded design also makes it a safe place to stow more fragile items like your phone or sunglasses. On the exterior of the front admin pocket are laser-cut Hypalon MOLLE panels that forego the traditional nylon webbing for a flatter and sleeker profile without sacrificing expansion options. That said, the Ranger 12 comes with traditional MOLLE webbing on its bottom for maximum compatibility with your gear. The “12” in the bag’s name stands for its 12L interior capacity, which includes a padded tablet pocket so you can protect your tech.
Kodra 500D nylon make up the Ranger 12’s exterior, coated with polyurethane for water resistance and durability. Large zipper pulls make access easy, and padded shoulder straps with rigid suspension ensure a comfortable carry.
