P26 Short Ruck Stripped

Pattern 26 Short Ruck Stripped

The Pattern 26 Short Ruck Stripped (SRS) is a 29 L modular ruck body that expands to 40 L. Its shortened profile leaves usable frame space below the bag, so additional mission equipment can be secured without raising the height of the primary load.

Laser-cut PALS/MOLLE grid sections, lashing grids on the lid and bottom, and a universal frame attachment platform let the ruck be configured to the mission rather than the mission to the ruck. A 12-inch storm collar closes over an overfilled load, and an internal hook-and-loop admin pocket keeps small essentials off the bottom of the bag. 

The design draws from the ALICE, South African Pattern 70 and Pattern 83, and M1928 systems, combining proven load-carriage principles with modern materials and modular attachment points.

The Short Ruck mounts to ALICE, MOLLE, and FILBE frames. Standard 1-inch straps and buckle hardware support straightforward adjustment and load configuration.

This pack does NOT include a frame, straps, or waist belt.
