Helikon-Tex CLAYMORE Bag - Cordura - Coyote

A small bag with a lot of potential

A versatile one-day tactical shoulder bag. Its shape is reminiscent of the bag used in the US Army since the 1960s to carry the M18A1 anti-personnel mine called Claymore. It completes our range of bags with a broader application, not only for bushcraft and hiking, but also for other outdoor or urban activities. The solutions used in the Claymore bag will also be appreciated by firearms users, as the universal flat pockets perfectly fit AR/AK magazines.

Solid materials at hand

Thanks to the use of 500D Cordura, much more durable than traditional nylon and polyester, the Claymore bag is much more resistant to abrasion. You can calmly go to town with it and use it every day, such as driving to work or college. Our Claymore will also work well as a tactical bag, in which your gear will be safe even when walking through a dense forest or between rocks. Velcro and snap closure will protect small items from falling out.

Well-organized space

To increase the potential of the Claymore bag, we equipped it with fourteen pockets. This allows it to be used as a go bag, accommodating spare ammunition, a canteen and a light jacket (such as a Windrunner or Tramontane). For users who want to be always ready, it can serve as a larger EDC organizer. The Claymore bag will accommodate, for example, a liter bottle, a folding saw, a small axe, etc. It completes our range by filling the gap between the eight-liter Haversack bag and the less capacious two-and-a-half-liter Essential Kit Bag.

Outside - convenience and accessibility

In an emergency situation, you may not have time to browse through your luggage. That's why we've arranged the exterior pockets so that access to them is as quick as possible. On the front, the Claymore bag has two large patch pockets with Velcro and (if necessary) snap fasteners. There are two flat pockets in each, sized perfectly for AR/AK magazines. Wanting to use the back of the bag, we placed three pockets there as well. Together, this makes as many as nine pockets, seven of which are flat and two sewn on.

Inside - safety and order

Secured by a zipper, the rectangular compartment of the bag is divided into four flat pockets and a free space that can hold, for example, a notepad or tablet. In addition, there is another zippered pocket in the back panel for valuables, such as secured documents or money. A total of five pockets and free space between them. Keys and other small items can be hung on loops so that they are accessible at a glance.

Shoulder bag full of history

One of the most distinctive pieces of equipment for a US Army soldier during the Vietnam War was the M7 Bandolier. This is a snap-fastened military bag with two pockets. One carried an M18A1 anti-personnel mine called a Claymore (like a large Scottish sword). The other held an M57 firing device and a power tester. After the detonation of each mine, the soldier was left with one such bag, which over time came to be called simply a claymore bag and used to carry equipment. It was reworked, and was also used after the end of the service. The military shoulder bag became so popular that civilian equivalents began to be produced.
