TacKea

$449.90

The Next Evolution in Modular Carry

The TacKea pushes our lightweight carry line forward, combining the proven DNA of the Kea with feedback from soldiers, medics, and everyday users. Designed and built in Christchurch, New Zealand, it’s engineered to be the one pack you can configure for anything.

Three years ago, we created the Tuke and Kea platforms — clean, efficient packs shaped for real-world performance. After the success of the Big Molly, we asked a simple question: How do we turn the Kea into the ultimate modular day pack?

The TacKea is the answer.

Full Clamshell Access & Intelligent Organisation

The TacKea keeps the Kea’s proven silhouette and lightweight internal aluminium frame, but introduces a completely re-engineered opening system. The new full clamshell front gives unrestricted access to the entire 30L main compartment — perfect for medical layouts, rapid gear swaps, and structured load-outs.

Inside, every detail is designed for customisation:

Full loop-lined rear wall for TwinNeedle med cells, grid panels, and EDC organisers
Dual hydration sleeves
Two zipped internal mesh pockets
Flat mesh pockets on the front wall
Lid pocket plus velour-lined eyepro pocket
External zipped loop pocket and dual side pockets

Modular Exterior & Cross-Platform Compatibility

Laser-cut Squadron PALS slots run across the front and sides, ready for any TwinNeedle PALS-compatible pouch. A bartacked webbing strip on the base — shared with the Big Molly — supports overload panels and platform expansion.

A built-in hip belt interface sits inside the frame sleeve, with a purpose-made TacKea belt arriving next year alongside a full internal organisation suite and overload accessories.

Built to Handle Anything

Whether you’re:

an infantryman setting up a mission-ready loadout,
a medic needing fast, clean access,
a commuter heading into the office

The TacKea adapts. One pack, countless setups.

What Our Customers Have To Say

Great EDC Pack

Well thought out and quality made pack. I use it as an EDC pack. Love the pockets & hook and loop layout. With the addition of the overload panel you have great versatility and load options.

The only negative for me is the padded sections of the shoulder straps are too short for my broad shoulders and frame. I end up with the buckles very high up my chest causing discomfort with the buckles them selves and the webbing section rubbing under my armpits.

Good EDC

Great pack for EDC with excellent modularity thanks to the hook and loop and the vast Cell system,

Laptop sleeve with additional hook-loop is masterclass, haven't tried it with the hipbelt just yet, but so far, great success.

Huge thanks to TwinNeedle for supporting our event. The pack they supplied is exceptionally well made, with outstanding quality and attention to detail. You can tell it’s been designed by people who understand gear that needs to perform in the real world. We’re proud to have TwinNeedle backing us and highly recommend their products to anyone looking for durable, NZ-made equipment.

Tackea pack

God light pack that will benefit with the addition of the hip belt. Suggest that an internal computer sleeve be added (similar to Camel design) for further versatility.

Tackea

Working great so far. Twin needle just need to work on releasing there internal organisation options asap. But so far working really well with other kiwi made options
