The Rothco 45L Tactical Backpack is made for the long trek or camping trip when you are carrying a full load. A hip belt steadies the pack and spreads the weight, while a breathable padded mesh back and padded, adjustable shoulder straps keep long miles comfortable. Up top, a drawstring closure and an elastic cover fastened by quick-release buckles secure 45 liters of gear. Zippered side pouches hold extra supplies, and D-rings plus MOLLE webbing carry the rest outside.

Why it works:

  • Steadier under a full load: The hip belt increases stability and weight distribution, so a heavy pack rides better on long treks.
  • Comfort over long miles: Padded, adjustable shoulder straps pair with a breathable padded mesh back for all-day comfort.
  • Space for the long haul: 45 liters (2900 cubic inches) of capacity in a pack that measures 13" x 9.5" x 24".
  • Secure, easy top access: A drawstring closure and an elastic top cover with quick-release buckles keep the load packed yet easy to reach.
  • Extra gear rides outside: D-rings and a single row of MOLLE webbing on the top cover secure additional gear and accessories.
