CLAYMORE BAG (Shadow Grey & Black) – Cordura® – Helikon-Tex

Description

Well organized place

To increase the potential of the Claymore Bag (Shadow Grey & Black)), we have equipped it with fourteen pockets. Thanks to this, it is able to go as a Grab Bag, holding spare ammunition, a canteen, and a light jacket (like Windrunner or Tramontane). Users who want to be always ready can use it as a larger EDC organizer. The Helikon Tex Claymore Bag will hold a liter bottle, a folding saw, a small axe, etc. It completes our range of bags, filling the gap between the eight-liter Haversack and the less capacious, two-and-a-half-liter Essential Kit Bag.

Outside – comfort and accessibility

In case of an emergency, we have placed the outer pockets in such a way that access to them is as quick as possible. On the front, the Claymore Bag has two large patch pockets with hook & loop and (if needed) snap fasteners. In each of them, there are two flat pockets, perfect for AR/AK magazines. We also placed three pockets on the back of the bag, if you want more space. Together, it gives nine pockets, of which seven are flat and two are sewn-on.

Inside – organization and order

The rectangular compartment of the bag is secured with a zipper and is divided into four flat pockets and a free space that can accommodate a notebook or a tablet etc. In addition, there is another zippered pocket in the back wall for valuables, e.g. important documents or money. A total of five pockets and free space between them. Keys and other small items has space on the loops so that they are easily accessible.

A shoulder bag full of history

One of the most characteristic elements of the US Forces soldier’s equipment during the Vietnam was the M7 Bandolier. It’s a snap-fastened bag with two pockets. One carried an M18A1 anti-personnel mine called Claymore (like a large Scottish sword). The other housed the M57 firing device and power tester. After each mine was detonated, the soldier was left with one such bag, which over time came to be simply called a claymore bag and used to carry equipment. It was remade, and used after the end of service. The shoulder bag became so popular that its civilian version began to be produced commercially.
