Engineered specifically for the brutal demands of wildland fire lines, helitack operations, and backcountry search and rescue, the NARGEAR® Groper X is a high-performance, lower lumbar fire-line pack designed for ultimate mobility. Built extra tough to withstand the extreme abuse of active fire lines and live smokejumps, this pack balances a rugged 1400-cubic-inch cargo capacity with an incredibly clean, snag-free profile.

The standout feature of the Groper X is its aerodynamic exterior. When loose straps pose a safety hazard—especially when exiting aircraft or navigating dense brush—the pack’s detachable shoulder harness and unique tuck-away hip pads allow it to completely streamline. This design also packs down small, making it a favorite for helitack crews maximizing limited aircraft cargo space. Constructed with heavy-duty 1000 Denier abrasive-resistant fabric and double-stitched with military-spec parachute harness thread, the Groper X is an essential piece of premium tactical PPE built for the rigors of the job.
