MTP Daysacks

We carefully select products for our MTP daysacks category to ensure maximum compatibility with the new multi terrain pattern (MTP) camouflage used in the new UK Personal Clothing System. Although MTP is not available commercially all these daysacks use camouflage patterns that are almost indistinguishable from MTP. These include Crye Precision Multicam, Vista ATP and Highlander MTC. An alternative option is to achieve MTP compatbility using sandstone which is the base MTP/Multicam colour and then adding on Molle pouches in an MTP-like camouflage.

MTP Daysacks

There is no hard and fast definition for an MTP daysack (daysac) but we'd typically describe it as a small rucksack designed to carry the essentials you need to operate for a short period of time before you are reconciled with your main bergan.

Capacity

The normal range for a daysack is between 10-15 and 45-50 litres. Much bigger than this and it starts to look like a full size bergan. Some manufacturers, such as 5.11 Tactical, chose to market their products by the timescale in which they are expected to allow you to operate and this is why you get a Rush 12, 24 and 72. We're not convinced by this approach as surely the needs of the job will define how much capacity you need!

Camouflage Patterns

The introduction of Multi Terrain Pattern (MTP) camouflage with the new UK issue Personal Clothing System (PCS) has caused an awful lot of confusion out there and we've blogged extensively about it. Licensing restrictions mean that MTP is not available to commercial manufacturers and therefore they have used other similar patterns and colours

The most popular pattern is Crye Precision Multicam and MTP is actually a Multicam derivative. Other alternative have also been developed and Vista ATP, as used by Vanguard, is one of the most popular.

The other alternative we recommend is sandstone which is the MTP/Multicam base colour. All the sandstone daysacks and battle belts we sell have Molle loops which allow MTP/Multicam pouches to be attached which does a great job of making it compatible.

Features

Modern daysacks are impressive items that often come with a vast array of features. These can include internal hydration systems, MOLLE (aka PALS) loops, a vast array of pockets both internal and external, wast bands and openings for aerials. Trying to decide which is the right feature set for your role can be tricky so we advise that you read our descriptions carefully.
