WARRIOR ASSAULT SYSTEMS

ASSAULTER BACK PANEL

The Assaulter Back Panel is designed once again around a hydration pocket. The top section

features a 5.56mm triple open mag pouch with bungee retention sewn directly into the panel,

which also features a MOLLE platform, so you can attach other small pouches directly on top

if so required. The lower section has a removable general purpose/rip off medic pouch. So if

you're playing as part of a team, the lower pouch is ideal for stowing pyro, spare mags, ammo,

mission spefic essnetials or even snacks. This is a very simple and we thought out back panel

that we would thoroughly recommend! Proudly carrying the Warrior Assault Systems branding,

means that you can buy with confidence, safe in the knowledge that you’re going to get a

premium and reliable product at a realistic and fair price.

VIPER TACTICAL

ASSAULT BACK PANEL

This is another bargain busting option from the factories of Viper Tactical. Again, like so many

assault panels, the platform is built around a large hydration pocket and is MOLLE compatible.

This is one area you need to look out for when making your decision as many vests may not

have their MOLLE in the correct position to secure the top section of any assault panel and

you'll find yourself reverting to cable ties to secure the top section.

Limited in it's carrying abilities this platform features 3x main ammo pouches and one large,

side opening, cargo pouch. The Ammo pouches have the added security of bungee retentions

cords, which gives them the ability to carry much more than extra mags for the man behind

you. The limitations of any Assault panel are obvious and somehow we felt cheated with the

more expensive options on the market. However Viper Tactical's pricing tied in with their

quality means that there is next to zero on the 'guilt trip-ometer' with this purchase.

REMOVABLE OPERATOR PACK

The Removable Operator Pack is part of the 'Operator Series of packs' and is designed as a

'Quick Attach Assault Pack', to attach directly to modular vests or larger packs.

The pack features a large main compartment as well as a side entry front pocket. The outside

has modular webbing for attaching additional pouches and padded shoulder straps stow away

when not in use. It also includes heavy-duty zippers, sternum strap, grab handle, loop material

for patches and a 3l hydration pocket. All the hardware needed to attach the pack to other gear

is also included. This pack makes a great addition to this group test, simply attach it to your

plate carrier or use it alone as a pack to carry all of your safezone essentials. The removable

operator pack features similar design details as a 24 hour day pack, including a shock-cord

mesh to the front for additional storage capacity. Additionally a high-vis orange liner makes

small items easy to spot in the bag, but it also acts as an emergency signaling device.
