Paratus 3-Day Operator's Tactical Backpack | Premium 40L 

The Paratus 3-Day Operator's Backpack stands as the flagship model in the 3V Gear tactical collection, offering unmatched versatility for emergency preparedness, outdoor adventures, and tactical operations. This military-grade 40-liter backpack serves perfectly as a bug out bag, rucksack, deployment bag, or hunting backpack for extended trips.

Superior Durability & Weather Protection

Constructed from heavy-duty 600D PVC-backed polyester, the Paratus delivers exceptional durability and reliable water resistance in challenging environments. Every seam and stress point is reinforced to withstand heavy loads and rough handling during tactical operations or wilderness excursions.

Ergonomic Comfort System

Extended carry comfort comes standard with:

  • Generously padded shoulder straps for reduced fatigue
  • Adjustable sternum strap for load stabilization
  • Supportive waist belt for optimal weight distribution

These features work together to maintain comfort even when the pack is fully loaded with survival or tactical gear.

Modular Organization System

The Paratus includes a complete customization system:

  • Two detachable Ally MOLLE pouches
  • Dedicated Rapid Deployment Pack for quick-access essentials
  • Padded laptop sleeve for electronics protection
  • Hydration bladder compatibility for on-the-move hydration

Outdoor and Tactical Versatility

Whether you're building a 72-hour survival kit, preparing for deployment, or gearing up for an extended hunting expedition, the Paratus 3-Day Operator's Backpack delivers military-grade performance with civilian-friendly features.

For shorter excursions where a full-sized tactical pack isn't necessary, consider our VELOX II Quick Action Tactical Backpack—the perfect daypack companion when you need mobility over capacity.

Paratus 3-day Backpack

Great value and I expect many years of use

difference that kinda suck

Overall fairly the same, but the little difference is that kinda suck not having on the newest model. Here is the D rings at the top of the handle and then the Velcro on the side bags that helped out great never lost a bag but today I took it out on my adventures and if I had to put the carers on there, I’ve lost both of the two that fell off the other one. I’m just hanging on by one strap so not as rugged. The only reason I replaced the bag is because mine of nine year a z
Few zippers were coming unstitched and the final straw was the top main seam finally started failing in it. The threads kept coming out, maybe you could sell up grade straps, but that’s all for now

Great bag

Everything I expected. Built tough. I wish 3V had more accessories like the SS water bottle shown on the home page with a Molle holder.

A very good piece of gear for the money

This pack has been thoughtfully designed. It's very rugged, very well made, expect it to last for generations. Zippers, pulls, connectors, handles are all very heavy duty. I did not expect to like the Rapid Deployment Kit as much as I did. It's surprisingly versatile. The alignment of the shoulder straps to make the pack ride higher provides much greater comfort in terms of distributing the weight if the pack. The molle packs really make customizing the pack for each day a breeze and the design means that additional molle bags can be added as you desire. All in all, it's a very good value. You would expect to pay much more for this quality in any other pack.

Great Bag - Rapid Deployment attachment could be better

I love the overall space and layout of the bag, including the rapid deployment bag. However, the snap attachment of the rapid deployment bag leaves a lot to be desired. I keep a lot of things in this pouch, and the snaps are always coming undone. It would be much better if it used the YKK Annex clips that all of the other molle pouches use - considering doing some modifying to make this possible.

The perfect backpack

I love this bag, I'm using it as a bug out bag. It's a good size and I like how it has the molle bags that are detachable. I'm going to buy more of these for other members of my family.

Paratus 3-Day

Have not had the chance to pack it out yet but so far with what I have seen, used - this is a great bag. Quality product and love the American Flag patch.
A lot of space to work with and comfortable fit I would recommend!

Perfect for what I'm doing

Havent used it yet but seems to be a good pack. It holds everything I need for overnight gear while prospecting areas

Built and stitched tough, easy access and packing. Only somewhat troublesome problem is the large front Molle pouch keep coming unsnapped and falling off back even though I have nothing in it so it’s not the weight. Luckily I’ve noticed that it has fallen or a person has been nice enough to let me know but I’m fearful to pack it until I can solve the issue
