A backpack is a container carried over one's back and secured to the body frame of the bearer, ideally the hips.
Types
Backpacks are made for a number of intended uses, loads and volumes. In broad terms they can be divided in three categories:
Size | Type | Inventory | Purpose |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Light backpacks | ≤ 50 KµSCU | Intended for short hikes or scouting, where mobility and light weight are paramount. |
2 | Medium backpacks | 50 – 80 KµSCU | Intended for medium distance treks and are favored by the military. They offer a good compromise between capacity and mobility. |
3 | Heavy backpacks | ≥ 80 KµSCU | Intended for hauling heavy loads and long distance treks, at the cost of mobility. |
Backpacks of one category can only be equipped in torso armor of the same or heavier categories. A medium backpack, for instance, can only be equipped over medium and heavy armor torso.
