Versatile 13-liter tactical daypack that converts from a conventional backpack into a stable four-point plate-carrier-mounted battle pack.

The Zentauron Clip-On Battle Pack is designed specifically for users who want one compact pack that can function both as a standalone daypack and as an integrated extension for compatible plate carriers and protective vests.

With approximately 13 liters of capacity, the pack provides room for rain and cold-weather layers, rations, communications equipment, hydration, personal gear, and other mission-essential equipment.

When used independently, permanently attached lightly padded shoulder straps provide conventional backpack carry. When integrating the pack with a compatible armor system, the shoulder straps can be stored inside the rear compartment and the included QASM / adapter system provides a stable four-point connection to the carrier.

13-Liter Battle Pack Capacity

The Clip-On Battle Pack provides approximately:

13 L / 793 cu in

of storage.

Depending on the loadout, it can accommodate:

• Rain gear
• Cold-weather layers
• Rations
• Radio equipment
• Hydration
• Gloves
• Navigation equipment
• Personal field gear
• Other compact mission equipment

Its capacity places it between a simple hydration carrier and a larger conventional assault pack.

Hydration Compatible up to 3 Liters

Inside the main compartment is a large rear slip pocket designed to accept a hydration bladder with a capacity of up to:

3 L / 101 fl oz

The bladder can be secured internally using hook-and-loop retention.

A dedicated pass-through underneath the upper carry handle allows routing for:

• Hydration tubes
• Radio antennas
• Communication cables
• Other compatible leads

Hydration bladder is not included.

Organized Main Compartment

The main compartment contains several separate storage areas.

Internal organization includes:

• Two slip pockets on the front-side interior
• One large body-side slip compartment
• Dedicated space for hydration or flat equipment

This helps keep smaller accessories separated from bulkier equipment.

Two Front Zipper Compartments

Two additional zippered compartments are integrated into the front of the pack.

Each measures approximately:

9.8 × 9.8 in / 25 × 25 cm

These compartments are well suited for quick-access equipment such as:

• Maps
• Documents
• Gloves
• Headwear
• Small accessories
• Personal equipment

The separate layout allows frequently used items to remain accessible without opening the main compartment.

Large Front MOLLE / PALS Expansion

The front provides extensive modular attachment capability.

The upper section features a combined hook-and-loop / MOLLE field measuring approximately:

3 rows × 6 columns

with a loop surface of approximately:

3.0 × 9.1 in / 7.5 × 23 cm

This can be used for:

• ID patches
• IR identification patches
• Flag patches
• Unit markings
• Compatible MOLLE accessories

Additional Front MOLLE Field

The lower front area provides another:

4 rows × 6 columns of MOLLE/PALS

This creates substantial mounting space for larger modular accessories and pouches.

Side MOLLE Expansion

MOLLE/PALS attachment loops are also positioned on the sides of the pack.

Compatible accessories can include:

• Sprinter Pack Side Pouches
• RV Standard Small Utility Pouch
• Trauma IFAK
• Canteen pouches
• Other MOLLE/PALS accessories

This allows the 13-liter pack to be expanded significantly when required.

Additional Name-Tape Panel

A narrow hook-and-loop strip at the bottom of the front panel measures approximately:

0.8 in / 2 cm high

and can be used for name tapes, identifiers, or other compatible patches.

Convertible Carry System

The standout feature of the Clip-On Battle Pack is its ability to switch between two completely different carry configurations.

Standalone Daypack Mode

For conventional backpack use, the pack includes permanently attached, lightly padded shoulder straps.

This allows it to function like a normal compact tactical daypack without requiring a plate carrier.

Plate Carrier / Protective Vest Mode

When mounting the pack directly to compatible armor:

1. The shoulder straps can be stored inside the rear compartment.
2. Included adapters attach to suitable MOLLE points on the carrier.
3. Upper secured G-Hook straps connect to the corresponding QASM interfaces.
4. Lower attachment straps connect around the cummerbund area.

The resulting four-point attachment system helps stabilize the pack against the carrier.

Quick-Detach Carrier Integration

The QASM-based mounting system allows the pack to be attached or detached from compatible carrier setups without permanently weaving the backpack directly into the MOLLE field.

This provides an important advantage over permanently mounted rear panels: the Clip-On Battle Pack can still be removed and used independently as a conventional backpack.

Compatibility Note

Direct plate-carrier mounting requires a compatible MOLLE/PALS layout and suitable attachment locations for the included adapters and QASM hardware.

Exact fit can therefore vary depending on the plate carrier or protective vest being used.

Mission Frontline Take

The most valuable feature of the Clip-On Battle Pack is that you do not have to choose between a dedicated carrier-mounted back panel and a normal backpack.

Permanent back panels work well until you need to remove the pack without taking off the carrier, hand equipment to somebody else, or simply use the pack independently.

The Clip-On system gives you both options.

Thirteen liters is also a sensible capacity for this concept. It is large enough for hydration, layers, rations, communications equipment, and other essentials, but still compact enough to sit directly behind a plate carrier without turning into a full-size assault pack.

The extensive front and side MOLLE fields also mean the system can grow when required.

For users who want a compact tactical pack that can move between standalone backpack use and direct plate-carrier integration, the Clip-On Battle Pack is one of the more versatile options in the Zentauron backpack lineup.
