Original Gregory Shasta Backpack | Special Forces COTS / Early OEF

 
  • 1 of 7
 

True Tora Bora vibes! Up for sale is an original Gregory Shasta expedition backpack in the iconic green/black colorway. During the early days of the War in Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom), elite units like the Green Berets, Navy SEALs, and CIA Ground Branch ditched their heavy, uncomfortable standard-issue packs for top-tier civilian mountaineering gear (known as COTS - Commercial Off-The-Shelf). This specific pack was sourced directly from a US Army Green Beret veteran. It is in nice, field-used condition with all zippers and buckles fully functional. A holy grail piece for early GWOT reenactors and "operator" gear collectors!

The elite's choice for the Hindu Kush mountains.

  • The COTS Phenomenon: During the initial invasion of Afghanistan, Special Operations Forces realized that military packs were inadequate for long-range dismounted patrols at high altitudes. They privately purchased civilian packs, with the Gregory Shasta being one of the absolute favorites.

  • Design & Build: Built bomb-proof. Features a massive capacity (approx. 5000+ cubic inches / 85L) with top-loading and large front panel access.

  • Superior Suspension: The heavily padded back panel, shoulder straps, and massive hip belt provided load-carrying comfort that was lightyears ahead of military issue ALICE or early MOLLE systems.

  • Provenance & Condition: Sourced from a US Special Forces veteran. It shows honest field use and a great authentic patina, but no fatal tears or damage. All zippers run smoothly. Ready for your next mission or GWOT display.
