Backpacking

Conterra

Rugged packs for first aid items

This is a specialized catalog for Search & Rescue, ski patrol and other (e.g. Military/ arcane law enforcement) professionals. Contains mostly Conterra’s line of specialty backpacks/fanny paks for ski patrol, SAR heli-med personnel. They make the best radio chest harness in the business — it is a standard with fire depts and FEMA. It is hard to imagine turning this stuff into general-purpose (eg, the paks are definitely not general purpose packs) but for the intended applications, there is none better.
