Named in honor of MACV-SOG's lesser-known SLAM companies (MACV-SOG: Military Assistance Command, Vietnam – Studies and Observations Group). SLAM is the acronym for Search, Locate, Annihilate, and Monitor missions. MACV-SOG performed extremely dangerous and demanding top-secret, deep reconnaissance and interdiction operations that required equipment as rugged, resilient, and adaptable as the courageous men who carried it. The SLAM Pack honors that legacy with a design that merges the demands of extreme ruggedness and mobility of canyoning packs with the mission-driven utility and practicality of tactical patrol systems.

The SLAM Pack is a purpose-built, mission-driven, multi-operational pack designed with an emphasis on tropical/jungle operations. The pack was developed in close collaboration with the cadre at Tactical Tracking Operations School, Inc. (TTOS - www.ttoscorp.com) and it is the result of over four years of intensive research, development, and field testing. 

TTOS is well known for its expertise in jungle operations and TTOS cadre have conducted jungle warfare training for various Special Operations Forces for more than two decades. The team at TTOS was instrumental in bringing the SLAM Pack to life and the pack was evolved through both training and operational use. The SLAM Pack is designed to meet the unique, harsh, and rigorous demands of vertical mobility and jungle operations. A large portion of the field testing of the pack was carried out during repeated deployments and training rotations in the PACOM area of operations. It was designed with jungle/water ops, technical ropework (rappels, climbing, canyoning), and free-fall as part of its DNA.

The SLAM Pack comes in right at 35 liters total.

All fabric, parts, and components used in the making of a SLAM are made in the U.S.A.

  • 30-liter Quick-Drain Main Compartment for mission-essential gear.

  • Quick-Drain External Pouches (2) with adjustable buckle closures, drawstring collars, and pass-throughs with hook & loop (handy for stashing tubular webbing and such). Pouches are large enough to easily accommodate 2-liter water bottles.

   • Internal Daisy Chain attachment points for securing radio pouches, carabiners, tubes (e.g. LAW rockets), using Voilé-style straps and cord, etc.

    • Internal Pockets (2) on inside front panel - a top zippered pocket for secure storage and an open-top bottom pocket for quick-access items.

    • Removable Plastic Framesheet/Closed-cell Foam Back Pad - framesheet with bendable central aluminum stay to add structure and 1/2" thick foam to provide padding and some flotation.

    • Center-Mounted External Daisy Chain and Lashing Loop (ice axe loop) for modular attachment.

    • Reinforced Carry Handle at the top of the pack back. Handle is large enough for use with gloved hands.

    • Horizontal Daisy Chain on both sides above the PALS webbing for clipping on carabiners and for tie-points.

    • PALS Webbing on both side panels for modular expansion.

    • Copious Amounts of Drainage Mesh in all water entrapment areas for rapid water evacuation and elimination of water retention.

    • Integrated A-Frame Webbing System ("A-harness") for parachute harness interface and lowering of pack prior to ground impact.
          ◦ Note: The SLAM Pack has been designed, fabricated, and tested for jumping but it is              not currently certified for airborne operations.

    • Retaining tabs (4) for retention of pack lowering line during technical mobility operations. Tabs are located on the lid just aft of the zippered Claymore pouch.

The Bongo Gear SLAM Pack is a mission-first solution for operators working in harsh and logistically isolated environments. Every feature is based on real-world needs derived from many years of jungle warfare instruction and operational deployments. Every detail incorporated was designed for utility and practicality and to ensure the pack is rugged and reliable and that it meets more than just essential requirements.

SLAM Pack

This is the pack I've been waiting for someone to make. One that combines the technical needs and wants of climbing/light mountaineering with the tactical needs and wants of various direct action operations.

The USA build quality is second to none.

I highly recommend this pack for those chasing an adventurous lifestyle.

Perfect Minuteman duffel on steroids. I would imagine anyone who served in the military would love this pack.
