The KATARA-16 backpack is perfect for the urban traveler, CCW user, or the dedicated EDC (everyday-carry) enthusiast. With removable straps, you can quickly convert the KATARA-16 into a single-shoulder VSlinger whenever you desire the quick accessibility of a sling pack. The outer top pocket has a zippered compartment, elastic webbing organization, a slip pocket, and a hook-and-loop field for ID patches. Two Hypalon MOLLE-Air side panels lets you attach single channel MOLLE accessories. The bottom pocket is lined with 210-D high-viz orange ripstop nylon, and has room for an iPad Mini, wallets, phones etc. Behind this pocket is a hidden CCW compartment for a compact / subcompact. Inside of the KATARA, there's a padded sleeve for tablets/Ultrabooks (up to 12") that can be accessed from the left or right side of the pack. This sleeve also doubles as a hydration bladder pocket. The front of the sleeve is lined with loop fabric for your hook-and-loop accessories. Opposite to the padded sleeve, you'll find zippered pocket on top, and a "3-Mode" convertible pocket on the bottom. The "3-Mode" convertible pocket can be opened from its left or right zipper and has a flap top closure. The "3-Mode" pocket can also be rolled-down and stored, revealing a large loop field for more hook-and-loop accessory attachments. There are two side internal pockets with elastic retention for accessories. The newly designed back panel lets you remove and switch shoulder straps to setup your KATARA as a right- or left-shoulder VSlinger sling pack for quick access. Shoulder straps are secured with hook-and-loop fasteners, durable Duraflex buckles and G-hooks. For the best balance of weight and strength, we use ultra-durable 1000-D Cordura nylon at high-wear areas (bottom, sides), and 500-D Cordura for the rest of the bag. Our Cordura is treated with DWR (Durable Water Repellent) for all-weather performance and will be ready when you need it!
