Särmä Large Assault Pack

Tired of stuffing big stuff in a small bag? Here's a 3-Day Assault Pack for daily use with more capacity than normal backpacks.

• A mid-size 35-liter (2135 cu in) 3-Day pack
• Loads of external attachment possibilities
• Goes as hand luggage when flying

Like the regular Assault pack, but larger

Sometimes the youngest sibling becomes bigger than others: the Särmä Assault Pack is a familiar item from Särmä and dates back over a decade. Through feedback and our own use, it has been developed and refined. We took all that experience to develop this 3-Day pack as a larger alternative.

Neither of these is better than the other, just better for you. Some uses demand a compact pack, in other times you need a bit more volume. The Särmä Large Assault Pack meets the latter need while retaining the tried and tested features and details from the regular one.

For people who travel by air, this backpack is suitable as carry-on hand luggage with most airlines. Tighten the compression straps and probably all of them will accept it. The boxy shape and generous size is generally great for travel use.

Some color may transfer from the product before the first wash. 

How to pack

• Generous main compartment that opens fully
• Two smaller external pockets for ease of use
• Mesh inner sleeves for organizing
• MOLLE/PALS loops for external pouches
• Hydration bladder compatible (bladder not included)
• Bottom straps for carrying rolls

In the latest batch, we updated the zipper pullers to silent cords. There can still be some of the old stock left, so don't be surprised if you get one with jingling metal pullers. If the noise bothers you, you can snip them off with side cutters and use just the cord and polymer stopper, or make your own. Check out this article on how to do it.

How to adjust and carry

• Padded and contoured shoulder straps
• Sternum strap and 37 mm (1.5") wide waist strap
• Four compression straps on the sides
• Two lower and one Y-shaped top compression strap
• All loose ends have hook-and-loop ends to store excess length
• Breathable 3D-mesh against the back and shoulders
