INTRODUCTION
The AVS™1000 Pack is a small, lightweight assault pack designed to provide the user
with a variety of access and attachment options. The AVS™SELF-ACCESS conguration allows
users to secure the pack to the AVS™without bulky shoulder pads while still allowing the
user to easily access the pack. The FIXED conguration replaces the rear plate bag of the
AVS™or JPC™ with the AVS™ 1000 Pack. The FIXED conguration also accommodates all
sizes of ESAPI or swimmer-cut plates. Additional attachment options include broad-based
carriage capabilities like MOLLE-ATTACH and SHOULDER PAD congurations, which are ideal
for carrying radios, medical equipment, or everyday use. Made in the US from US materials.
