Features of the DG-16 (85L) Long Range Patrol Pack
Sumamry
The DG16 is the perfect medium between our three rucks. It’s a jack of all trades. Remove its sizable lid (which also doubles as a daypack) to decrease its overall size and capacity. Compression straps provide the ability compress down as small as the DG3. Expand with fully equipped PALS webbing on the top lid. Sides and back givie capability to accept many sustainment pouchesand take it closer to the Mk.VII in capacity.

I hunt deer and and do a lot of pack walk training to keep fit.
The DG16 is super comfortable when loaded right up and built like a tank. I am really impressed with how super adjustable the harness and frame is to fit any users body shape and comfort needs.
It has lots of storage options that are easy to rearrange and the entire outside of the pack is molle so adding extra room or attaching equipment is so easy.
I cannot fault this pack and I have no doubts that it will outlast me and quite possibly my son. It is seriously an awesome piece of kit.
Thanks so much Crossfire 👍 👍 👍
I’m not in the military or anything like that I use my pack for hunting and hiking. But it is awesome I love it. It so comfortable it is hands down the best pack iv ever put on my back. Well done guys for this product. The DG16 has it all.
Got my DG16, quite impressed. Looking forward to taking it out. Very comfortable!
Awesome heavy duty field pack with so many features. Worth spending the time to get it set up right.
Very comfortable doing 20kg+ training walks, clearly the pack can handle plenty more load. Puts a smile on my face every time I get it out.
Fantastic customer service by Glenn who resolved a hiccup with the order promptly and graciously.
I can’t recommend Crossfire or this pack enough.
The DG-16 is without a doubt the most comfortable 85 ltr pack on the market, I have several each rigged for a different purpose.
I bought my first when they first came on the market and have used them for several years.
The difference between the DG-16, and the equivalent in Americas well-known premium quality pack brand is marked, in that I am far less tired humping 40 kgs in a DG-16 for ten miles, than in their equivalent.
The large quantity of PALS webbing makes it easy to add exterior pouches (the Crossfire pouches are very useful) the permanently fixed rain lid is a real innovation, it allows you to demount and use the day pack lid (it makes a fine pillow) while covering the pack top in case of rain if the pack is temporarily cached.
Both lids have a velvet lined compartment for glasses or field glasses.
The other lid supplied is useful when using the pack with smaller loads.
The pack allows you to carry an E Tool either on the pack rear or at the bottom on the side.
The great service from Glenn at Crossfire is only eclipsed by the insanely high quality product that I received. I fully expect, after wearing myself out using the DG16 pack, to see my grandchildren still using it in 20 years time. Top notch piece of kit!
One of the best general purpose combat packs on the market.
After looking at a lot of packs, decided to drop some coin on this. Good reviews.
I’m loving the DG16. Fits extremely well. I’ve taken it for a few stomps now and it’s been absolutely great 👌 I’ve been telling everyone who’ll listen about the great customer service too
I do love how it feels when I put it on. One of the most comfortable packs I’ve put on my back.
Finally. A no BS pack that ticks all my boxes. Thanks.
I have a DG16. Last June I took it on the overland track for adventurous training. Awesome. I was one of the few with no comfort issues 😎👍
Recently purchased the phenomenal DG16 to replace current issued pack.
I cannot adequately state how necessary and mandatory this pack is, or should be imho…
Yes, I’ve added my own pouches- where and how I want them.
Have boosted from 85lt to approx 110-115lt with pouches.
Pretty much completely set this pack with a full DP1 checklist- bar a couple of full 3lt water bladders … hitting somewhere round 35-40kg.
I thought something was wrong.
I literally couldn’t feel the load, certainly not on my shoulders, and no weird pressure at the hips, or lower back.
Movement and mobility feels natural, obviously limited by load, but comfortable and functional.
I’d started to reach overhead to undo a hanging clip, without thinking, and I was still wearing the pack!
The balance and carriage feels like no other pack I’ve used.
I am keen for some looooong pack marching and field. How often does anyone say that for a pack???
If you’re here now? BUY.
Next on the the list? DG3.
THANKYOU CROSSFIRE!
Love my Crossfire, and I’m a civvy.
Wished I had this kit when I was in doing long ops.
Can’t wait for my pack to arrive, been saving for a little while because they look fantastic!
Just bought one. Thanks so much for your wonderful customer service and look forward to my first dg16.
It’s the f*ckin best patrol pack out there 😁 three interchangeable lids. 85L (feels much more than 85) and a well thought out sleeping bag compartment.
Firstly, thank you Glenn for helping me out with my peacekeeper boot sizes. They are fine boots indeed. The DG16 is a great pack. I really can’t fault it other than the metal/plastic rings clink against the frame towards the bottom of the pack, which any sensible person can easily soundproof. This pack is otherwise perfect. So supportive and adjustable. This is some serious kit, guys. Thank you for the great service. 6/5.
Great packs, lost mine in the tsv floods but was awesome for many years.
A Pack that lives up to and exceeds expectations. Fast service from Crossfire. Thanks Glenn.
Always buy the best from Crossfire. Pay now or cry later.
Absolutely stoked with my DG16! Absolutely amazing service and totally impressed with my DG16. Thank you!
This is THE most comfortable pack I have ever had the pleasure of owning. I have enjoyed suffering under a ruck for close to 10 years now. When possible, we always try to make rucking suck a little less. I have tried and tested out numerous rucks from various companies and I have to admit, Crossfire has created something pretty dang magical here. I love the design of the top being removable and acting as a miniature daypack. The internal pockets are great for organization and don’t add much weight. Beyond just making an awesome pack, Crossfire has had by far the best customer service I have ever encountered. They are extremely professional and take care of their customers. Cheers!
