For wildland firefighters, performance correlates with efficiency and access, as precious seconds get lost when you search your pack for supplies. At the same time, carrying more than required holds you back and means you tire sooner.

Wildland backpacks align with what you do, where you go and the features needed to control flames over a wide, wooded area. Whether you're upgrading or seeking a replacement, learn more about what this gear does and how it supports you during missions.

What Is a Wildland Backpack?

With flames moving from shrubs to dried leaves, wildland firefighting involves a long-distance, boots-on-the-ground strategy. For firefighters, carrying a pack is expected in this type of environment.

Yet, the high-heat, hazardous conditions mean the average tactical pack isn't always up to the task. Built to move with you, wildland backpacks:

• Are made of highly durable, fire-resistant materials that protect you and your gear from your surroundings.
• Are designed for wildland-specific roles, including smokejumpers and helicopter rappelers.
• Ensure you can access your equipment the moment you need it, with pockets and other organizational features added for holding tools.
• Include compression straps to contain the load and minimize bulk during long missions.
• Distribute weight toward the hips and back to prevent shoulder strain and improve breathability.
