BLOG: Auscam Citadel Packs & Slings (Drops 9/16)

It’s our pleasure to introduce another Citadel Pack and Sling pairing in collaboration with our friends at GWA.

Australian DPCU (Disruptive Pattern Camouflage Uniform), also known colloquially as “Auscam”, “jelly bean camo”, and “hearts & bunnies.” This pattern is also affectionally called “peniscam” for the phallic-resembling shapes within the pattern.

The Australian Naval version (DPNU) consisting of shades of greys, blues and greens complete the pairing alongside the classic DPCU pieces.

For more info on this pattern, you can check out the wiki and camopedia articles.

CITADEL MICRO PRODUCT DETAILS:

The Citadel was a bag 7+ years in the making with every detail painstakingly prototyped & fielded in order to ensure maximum functionality. All this over a period that has covered over 20,000 miles of road & air travel. Throughout the years we have used dozens of bags while never encountering one perfect design that incorporated everything we wanted in a bag. The Citadel combines all of our favorite & must have features into one bag. This making it our perfect EDC, travel & tactical use pack.

The Citadel Micro is the smaller brother to the full size Gen3 Citadel. It's the same size as the Gen3's main compartment. Think Gen3 Citadel minus the laptop compartment. We made the micro to be slim, light and low profile.
