When Hill People Gear planned the Recon Kit Bag, they kicked around basing it on the original pattern instead of the Runner’s pattern. The decision was made not to do that at the time because a full thickness original with even more stuff hanging off of the front was not a good idea. It’s still not a good idea, but they’ve continued to work on that concept off and on since then. They’ve also continued to test different variations of internal organization, partly due to requests from specialized units, partly for our own uses. Evan hasn’t been carrying a bone stock Kit Bag for over a year. When their manufacturing partner First Spear introduced their 6/12 fabric it really solved some weight, bulk, and heat problems as well. All of that fiddling around has resulted in the final iteration of what they refer to as the “Heavy Recon Kit Bag”. It has all of the tacti-cool goodies thrown in, while still maintaining some semblance of the low profile look that is important to them.
