We've designed the 64 Multi-Frame Pack to securely attach to 5 popular frames!

The 64 Ruck pack by itself is $170, and you can customize your set-up by choosing just the individual components that you require (such as Shoulder Straps, Yoke, etc...). All the individual components can be selected below. If you already have your own 64 Pack setup and just want to change out specific components, you can also purchase the individual components separately without the pack. Scroll down the page for a point form listing of the most important features that have been incorporated into this pack.

✅  Multi-Frame capacity. The user can now attach the pack, hip pad, yoke and shoulder straps to the * 5 different frames shown below.

✅  All molle compatible. Base pack and the top flap is now completely molle compatible giving the user an incredible amount of real estate to add personal gear in whatever configuration they like.

✅  The pack has been designed to accommodate the Canadian Forces issue CTS Butt Pack and 2 of the CTS Pack Pouches. Watch the video demo for instructions on how to secure to the pack. This allows you lots of flexibility in pack load configuration and will also save you a few bucks not having to buy additional pouches.

✅  Optional nylon pack liner that is made in the exact shape as the pack itself. Liner will double your ability to keep gear dry as well as acting as a pull out stuff sack. Liner is held in place with small hook & loop tabs.

✅  14" high (plus extra 4" with snow collar) x 15" wide x 10" depth (front to back) 

✅  🇨🇦 Made in Canada.

History - originally a US design and used during the Vietnam war, it was initially called the T62-1 Lightweight Rucksack. The Canadian Army back in 1964 took this design and slightly modified it for their own use, hence the term "64 Rucksack" or 64 Pack. One of the most important features of the original pack and probably the main reason it has hung in there for so long is the idea of attaching the pack portion to the lower half of the aluminum frame and then leaving the top portion free for a valice or sleeping bag container. Canadian Airborne troops were especially partial to using this pack and frame configuration.

Fast forward 50 years and what CPGear has done is literally transform, modernize and strengthen the original load carrying ideas of the pack but added a whole bunch of new features like "Multi-Frame" capacity!
