From Moosejaw:
"This backpack system is part of the U. S. Government Body Armor Load Carry Program (BALCS) and consists of three components. These three, the Backpack, Patrol Pack and Butt Pack, have been uniquely configured, enabling a soldier to customize the load for specific mission requirements.For over 25 years, Gregory packs have been world-renowned for their fit, comfort and performance. They have been used extensively as the pack-of-choice for world-class expeditions. Using a CAD/CAM system and precision technology, our R&D team, headed by Gregory founder Wayne Gregory, inventively modified a commercial pack that would transfer the load effectively, allowing for multiple adjustments to fit sizes ranging from the 5th to 95th percentile of the SOF operator.In addition to the packs patented suspension system, another key feature of this system is its modularity: the Butt Pack attaches to the Backpack or the U. S. Government Load Carry System (ELCS); the Patrol Pack attaches to the Backpack, and is also compatible with SPEAR BALCS components.The UM21 system is offered in woodland or desert camouflage configurations and can be procured as a complete system or in individual components."

"This pack is amazing. If you can find it with the "complete system" for a cheap price get it! (Make sure it comes with the 4 stuff sacks, and the 4 side bags. )

I've had mine over 3 years now and nothing has broken on it. Keep in mind that this is a military backpack, it's built for the demands of our special forces units."

"If only it had an integrated hydration provision it would be the best backpack in the world.

I very much love this pack. My wife and I each have one. They are beautifully over-built, super-heavy duty packs, made in the USA.

But the UM-21 packs don't have any provision for hydration and Gregory doesn't make a matching SPEARS/MOLLE2 hydration pouch for the UM-21."

"Bloody awesome pack system. Very comfortable, and easy to modify to your size. The patrol pack is the best all around, everyday pack. This one was issued to special forces units in desert camo. Looks cool and will hold the kitchen sink too!"
