Backpacks
Volume determines which model fits: 10–20 litres for a work shift, 30 litres for a full day and night of kit, and 40 litres when you carry shared equipment or need long endurance.
Modular backpacks from Snigel Design, from a light daypack to a 40-litre mission pack. All are designed to be packed with removable inserts instead of fixed compartments, and have MOLLE on the outside for extra [pouches](/collections/pouches).

Frequently asked questions about backpacks
How many litres do I need?
For a work shift or a short deployment, 10–20 litres is enough. If you need to get through a full day and night with a change of clothes, food and medical supplies, 30 litres is a good starting point. Choose 40 litres when the load is extensive, when you carry shared equipment or when endurance stretches over several days.
What is the difference between Specialist 30L and 40L?
The volume, and therefore what the pack can sustain over time. Both are built on the same modular principle and take the same organiser panel, so you can start with 30 litres and move the inserts across if your needs grow. Choose the 40-litre model when the load is extensive or stretches over several days.
Do I need the inserts, or is the pack enough on its own?
The pack works without them, but the contents then settle at the bottom. The insert wall and panel give your kit fixed places so you can find the right item without unpacking. If you leave out the inserts when buying, they can be added later — they are separate parts, not permanently fitted.
Can extra pouches be attached to the pack?
Yes. The backpacks have MOLLE webbing on the outside, so the pouches in the range can be attached directly to the exterior. This is the most common way to expand capacity: keep heavy and rarely used items inside the pack, and put what you need quickly in an outer pouch.
