• The DG pack is designed around the Down East Incorporated 1606-MC frame, which is issued to the United States Marine Corps. It is made with a fragmentation-resistant polymer and is designed to support loads of more than 90kg. The frame features designated attachment points for ease of modularity.

SIZING: 

Suspension system: OSFA

• Harness Small/Medium: 175cm and shorter
• Harness Large/XLarge: 176cm and taller

The table below is a guide for setting the harness to the correct height utilizing the suspension system. Individuals wearing belt order should use the shorter setting below their height to allow the pack to sit upon and be supported by the belt order. The bartack to the top of the harness is:

Note: Users 185cm and taller should use position 5 and the optional tall mount ladder-locks above the exit zips on the pack body. This negates being able to use the load shelf feature.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE:

1. Remove built-up dirt with a soft or medium-soft hand brush.
2. Wash off the dirt with lukewarm water to 30°C, using a hand brush if necessary. For heavier dirt, a mild detergent with no chlorine or bleach can improve the result.
3. We recommend that the pack and pouches be allowed to dry slowly and not be placed in the sun or on a heater.
4. When everything is completely dry, the fabric can be treated with Grangers tent + gear repel to aid water repellence.
5. For the zippers, a light spray of silicone on the teeth and slider is recommended.

As always, the DG pack, pouches and harnes system is designed and made in Christchurch, New Zealand by TwinNeedle. DEI 1606-MC Frame is designed and made in the US by Down East Innovation.
