Direct Action Dragon Egg Enlarged Backpack 30L (Shadow Grey)

Dragon Egg enlarged backpack is the roomier, 30L evolution of Direct Action’s best-selling Dragon Egg platform, built for Singapore’s city-to-field routine and especially suited to heavy training use where you need more capacity, better organisation, and stable carry under movement. Made with a tough mix of Cordura® 500D and a laser-cut laminate modular system, it is designed to handle abrasion, sweat, and frequent packing cycles while keeping your load controlled.

Why choose the Enlarged model (vs the standard Dragon Egg) for heavy training?

• More capacity for training loads: The Enlarged version is 30L, giving you extra space for spare top, admin pouch, rain layer, gloves, towel, and field essentials without overstuffing.
• Better comfort when you move fast: Profiled shoulder straps and a removable hip belt help stabilise the pack during dynamic movement, stairs, and commuting between training locations.
• Hydration-ready, inside and out: Two hydration compartments support a cleaner setup for long sessions and outdoor days.
• Modular expansion: Laser-cut MOLLE/PALS-compatible zones on the front, sides, and waist belt let you add pouches for medical, admin, or quick-access items, keeping your main compartment uncluttered.
• 3-day versatility: This size and layout adapts well as a 3-day patrol-style pack for short trips or extended training days, while still compact enough for daily carry.
