DELIVERY 6-8 DAYS  For Shipping costs outside the UK, please email us at email@nordiclife.co.uk 

Comes in 100l and 140L.

Designed for the toughest environments, the Kraken uses 840D High Tenacity Nylon throughout. The MultiCam® model comes in full 1000D Cordura® Nylon for maximum robustness. The unique end wing design gives easy access to the full compartment and the shape of the bag makes it stable when stacked on the floor of a boat or roof rack. PRO colours come with an additional Velcro ID panel and the air valve is uprated to a Halkey Roberts oral inflation system. This comes with a high flow, push-to-open valve.

Technical Specification.

PROPRIETARY FABRIC DEVELOPMENT

• 840D HT Nylon for industry leading toughness. High Tenacity (HT) Nylon yarn for exceptional durability, abrasion and chemical resistance. 1000D Cordura® Nylon on the MultiCam® model.
• Coated both sides with a thick layer of ether based TPU for prolonged contact with moisture and mildew resistance. These thick layers give the fabric a hydrostatic head of 100,000 mm, high abrasion resistance, high puncture resistance and an incredibly strong bond when RF welded.
• To help reduced detection by IR thermal imaging, we modify the texture of the outer coating.

RF WELDED CONSTRUCTION

• Seams are joined by means of RF welding (Radio Frequency). This creates a waterproof and extremely durable connection as strong as the fabric.

YKK AQUASEAL® #10

• Waterproof, airtight and pressure-resistant. Providing complete protection from the elements in or out of the water. Highly resistant to damage caused by dirt or sand.

WING DESIGN

• Unique end wing design, gives easy access to the main compartment with an extended length zipper.

STABLE LOADING

• The tapered sidewalls of the bag make it stable when stacked on the floor of a boat or roof rack on an expedition vehicle.

INNER ZIPPED POCKET

• Internal zipped pocket is big enough for documents or valuables: L36 x H25 cm. 

TOUGH CARRY HANDLES

• Curved half-moon bartack design on all carry handles, which spreads the load no matter which way the handle is pulled. This is vital when carrying loads exceeding 40kg.

TIE DOWN POINTS

• Daisy chain lash points on both sides of the bag.

AIR RELEASE VALVE

• Top mounted air valve allows for inflation or deflation of the bag. PRO colours come with a Halkey Roberts oral inflation system. This comes with a high flow, push-to-open valve.

BACKPACK COMFORT

• The carrying straps are made of dual density EVA foam, a material designed for large expedition backpacks which gives you great weight balance, durability and comfort.

ONE-HANDED CHEST STRAP

• Chest strap designed to be used with one hand. It has a flat design which makes it extremely hard to break.
