The Mk.VII is our 110 litre pack. As a top loading pack into the main compartment, it also features a side opening sleeping bag compartment. We have built a divider shelf which can be opened for full internal top to bottom access, or velcro’d in place for separation of the main compartment to the sleeping bag compartment. The exterior has 2 sewn in top loading pockets on the back, 2 MOLLE removable top loading pockets on the sides and the lid has a removable MOLLE claymore sized pouch. This behemoth of a pack was designed to have enough capacity to sustain the soldier over several days in the field.
Colour: Multicam, Ranger Temperate (good for forested and temperate environments), Ranger Tropical (an Australian lighter shade of ranger green, good for transitional, sub-tropical and tropical environments), Coyote Brown

I’ve been using the MKIV 110L Long Range Military Patrol Pack quite extensively for a few months now. I’m happy to recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a tough, durable, spacious and comfortable well-made pack, believe me you won’t be disappointed when it’s on your back.

Awesome packs. I already have a DG3, and just bought a MkVII SAS.

Best pack I’ve ever owned hands down! Very modular. Obvious thought put into the design. Very comfortable!

Amazing pack exceptional quality

I’ve used this pack in the field for about 4 weeks now. The frame and straps are extremely comfortable with body armour under a heavy load. And I find the stuff compartment for your sleeping bag extremely quick and convenient. The pack is durable and I’d recommend it without a second thought.

I’ve had one of the original SAS Mk6 packs for many years now and the setup is superb, and you can just keep cramming things into it!
I’d highly recommend one of these.

As an ex- soldier, I have always wanted a ruck big enough to haul everything, including the kitchen sink, yet still be comfortable, functional and manoeuvrable. If you’re after the same, then look no further… this is it.

Top of the line piece of kit, well put together and comfort level is 100%. I wish we had these when I first joined the Australian army in ’88. My back and neck would have loved it lol.
Crossfire has gained my trust in the quality. They may not have the advertising budget of some of the brands out there. Some of which lowered QC on some kits.
The comfort and fit of the frame is especially one thing I noticed straight off with great distribution and a real good fit to the body with airflow and no pack swaying all over the shop. It’s what is put into their gear that makes them a choice to many different roles which are often very demanding on kit and bodies.
That’s why many that own Crossfire packs do so because they really don’t give a crap what name appears on their gear but how well it performs and keeps performing. Then there are some out there that looking Gucchie and having the brand name is the top of their list, regardless of fit, form construction, and application.
I’m not as young and my body reminds me, yet as I have my best mate and service dog also for my back and neck to carry even weight rather than one side with a plastic bag full of stuff pulling and aggravating some of the torn nerves and disks. Hence my purchase of the long-range pack for our get away from all the people’s time in the scrub.
My physio was very impressed with the make of the pack, especially how well the frame works with my body keeping weight on the nice padded belt and on hips.
I hope to be able to add one of their patrol packs and an extra pouch or such as I need to carry a pack whenever going out.
I wouldn’t recommend any kit without researching from other brothers and feeling for myself. With any kit you need to know it’s going to work hard and take all types of punishment and still keep rocking. Crossfire does just this. STAY STRONG to all

By far the best pack I’ve ever had. Very good quality. I was worried it would be too big for me, I’m 5’6 160 lbs so not a big guy by any means. But it fits me great. I probably have 65 lbs in it and it’s very comfortable. Great job!!!

I have had one for a few months now and I can safely say that other than the zippers I like it more than any of my mystery ranch bags which are all close to double the price. If they update the zippers I’d give it a 10/10.

If I could give Crossfire 6 stars I would. Mark 7 ruck aside their customer service is beyond top notch. When you call a human answers the phone, this is a big deal to me in an age of automated CS and “press 9 100 times for a representative.” Ben took 3 or 4 of my calls and went through in detail on how to best adjust my pack for me. He even offered to do a video call if I needed it. Didn’t end up needing that but it was offered. The MK7 itself is everything I hoped it would be. Extremely well made with alot of attention to detail. I loaded mine with roughly 48lbs of water, food, loaded mags and my complete sleep system (mss bivy, jungle bag, poncho liner and shelter tarp) and hit my local fire trail for a test run. Carrying 50 lbs of crap up a hill sucks no matter how good your pack is but the MK7 definitely makes the suck suck alot less. With that 48 lb load there was still plenty of room for extra gear and this is why I was drawn to this pack over something in the 60 to 80L range. I’ve always found those smaller packs leaving me tight on space if additional gear is needed. Just because you have space doesn’t mean you MUST use it everytime. Enough ranting. If you need a large rucksack forget the $1000 plus pack from the bigger name competitors. Give Crossfire a shot I can almost guarantee you won’t be disappointed! P.S. I know 50 lbs is like half an infantrymens load out but I am a mere civilian who’s still working on getting in the best shape so 50lbs is enough for me for now!

I LOVE this ruck. Only thing I’d like added is a small velcro field for a call sign or ID patch

Recieved my MK VII just prior to my training rotation at JPMRC in Delta training area Alaska. Got it for several reason first is I have a DG 3 AW and love it. The Next was needed a way to carry five days sustainment. It worked flawlessly. More then enough room for myn3 layer sleep system. Extra clothes every layer of my clothing system plus extra base layers. Over 5 liters of water 6 mres my snow shoes and even my jet boil. All while remaining comfortable and stable under load. Felt as if i was wearing nothing. Carried it on foot on a snow machine on snow shoes skis and even a sled. Perfect pack if your military on extended patrol or you operate up here in the arttic where resupply is slow and not having your gear or sustaiment is the differance between life and death
