Molded Foam-Protected Backpacks

The Hazard 4 Pillbox Blends Rugged Exteriors with Tactical Designs

EDC bags come in all shapes and sizes but few are as protective and durable as the Hazard 4 Pillbox. Designed to lead a new breed of rugged packs, this new backpack mixes the interior padding and compartments of a camera bag with the aesthetics and durability of a tactical EDC bag. Several organizational spaces offer plenty of variety for carrying options and are focused on housing optics, electronics, soft goods and anything else important.

Perhaps the most striking feature of the Hazard 4 Pillbox is the molded foam exterior. This unique design feature is combined with a 1000D Cordura nylon construction, which allows the bag to offer more structure and protection when compared to standard cloth backpacks.

The Hazard 4 Pillbox features a spacious 29.5-liter carrying capacity as well as MOLLE webbing on the interior, allowing for smaller packs to be weaved into the interior.
