The Chameleon MPAS Lite whip, for example, fits through the antenna port perfectly: Simply pull up on the Velcro strapping to reveal the opening. There are two antenna ports on the top of the pack. The best part, though, is that it sports the same two ports/openings Spec-Ops puts into the larger T.H.E. In terms of size/capacity, it’s ideal for summit day hikes and the thing is just covered in Molle (Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment) straps, so very adaptable if I need to attach extendable masts, hiking poles, water bottles, or basically a Molle pouch or accessory. It’s very early days, but I suspect this pack will become my choice Summits On The Air (SOTA) pack. pack in every respect, just smaller in every dimension. The EDC version is identical to the larger T.H.E. Pack Tactical in 2015 or after so many customers asked for it. Spec-Ops introduced an EDC (Everyday Carry) version of the T.H.E. I primarily use it for camping and extended travels. It’s designed for armed forces deployments and has a lot of capacity. You don’t see that pack in my field reports because, frankly, it’s just too big for most of my field radio applications.
Pack Tactical backpack since 2013 as well. Since then I’ve purchased numerous products from Spec-Ops Brand. The Pack-Rat Pouch Pack-Rat Interior Organization I purchased their Pack-Rat pouch and reviewed it on the SWLing Post. I first discovered their gear at the Wright Patterson AFB Air Force base Military Clothing Store with my buddy Eric (WD8RIF) in 2013.
I’ve been a long-time customer of Texas-based Spec-Ops Brand. If you’ve been reading for long, you’ll know that there’s no cure for my pack addiction, so in a sense, there could be no better gift! Spec-Ops Brand This year, I got an early Christmas present: a Spec-Ops Brand T.H.E.
