SPECIAL MISSION PATROL

Special Mission Patrol

This exclusive backpack was a cumulative design utilizing the Nimbus frame suspension system and input from numerous US Military Special Operations Operators! We call it the “Nimbus” in our Ultralight Series of “civilian” packs. In our Nimbus Ozone it won Backpacker Editors Choice award, and in our Nimbus Meridian it won Outside’s Gear of the Year award. Basically this frame is a lighter-duty version of our CHIEF Framesheet, but still amazingly comfortable and durable. The difference is in the composite material. If you are tired of your load not being supported, your back and shoulders ailing, try this pack. Oh, by the way - all of the CORDURA® fabric and webbing utilized is solution dyed, NIR treated, Triple stitched and built rock solid. This pack comes laptop ready utilizing our ingenious closed cell foam system to protect your valuable equipment. Honestly, just too many other features to list.

What torso length should I get?

To find your torso length, measure the distance between your seventh cervical vertebra and the shelf of your hipbones. Do this by standing up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart. Tilt your head forward and place your hands on your hips, thumbs to the back. With a flexible tape, have someone measure from the most prominent vertebra at the base of your neck to an imaginary line drawn between your thumbs. This will be your torso length.

Nimbus Torso Lengths
Short Torso 14” to 18”
Regular Torso 18” to 22”

NOTE: Each framesheet has fine adjustment settings spaced in one inch increments to further fine-tune your fit. If you are an 18” torso try the short torso first.

What size hipbelt?

Our Light Pack Belt has a single pivot point attachment, hip stabilizer adjustment straps, dual density foam, and a high-density plastic exoskeleton that forms a wishbone shape to cup around your hip crest and add load bearing support. When fit properly, this exoskeleton forms an effective "wrap" around your hips which helps to keep the belt positioned right where it needs to be to effectively transfer weight. This belt is standard equipment on all our light packs.

What size shoulder strap?

For a truly custom fit on our Stratus and Nimbus packs you can swap out shoulder straps. To find the ideal shoulder strap size, measure your chest. Our shoulder straps fit both men and women equally well.
