The Mayflower Helium Whisper® Assault Back Panel Type 1 is designed to carry the minimum amount of kit for a short-duration dismounted mission. The main body was designed to carry a 50-70 oz water bladder. The upper-zipper pouch is designed to hold the SOCOM issued NVG protective insert or the Velocity Systems 8 Round Capacity, 40MM Insert. The bottom pouch has two removable pouch options to increase modularity and to allow the end user to remove and deploy either pouch on the move. The first option is the removable Medical Pouch which features internal elastic retainers, a loop carry handle, a flat VELCRO® Brand external pouch, and elastic on the bottom to hold a tourniquet. Option two is the removable Gas Mask Pouch that is designed to fit the AVON FM53 or similar-sized mask. For easy access the Gas Mask Pouch mounts horizontally with a side opening. This allows the end user to have the ability to quickly reach back and grab their gas mask on the move. To ensure the bottom pouch is secured, the design also includes a security strap that fastens using GTSR 3/4" side release buckles. The Helium Whisper® Assault Back Panel Type 1 is attached using the PALS compatible Helium Whisper® system. All hook and loop material used is color matching Velcro® Brand Fasteners. All materials and workmanship are 100% made in the USA.
