RSS Extras


Optional Backboard

The RSS™ can be purchased with or without a fitted backboard. The backboard slips into a discreet internal pocket of the rucksack without altering the shape, and invisibly adds to the protection of any equipment carried inside.

When unzipped from the main rucksack the pouches can be zipped together to form a smaller day sack that can be carried either over both shoulders or around the waist. The contents from inside the RSS™ main compartment are then transferred into these side pouches for carrying, and / or distributed amongst the other members of the team. (Fig. 5).
