The Pioneer Threshold Pack is a field accessory that embraces the requirements of adventurers and athletes who spend extended periods training in the most demanding environments out there. The pack is constructed using the brand's proprietary Mandarin 840 material that utilizes twisted ballistic nylon yarn to give it a denser and stronger profile when compared to conventional nylon. The pack is compliant with airline guidelines for under-seat storage and features a top loader design to maximize accessibility, even on the most demanding trips.
The Pioneer Threshold Pack is paired with aluminum hardware to keep things secure yet light and boasts 10mm EVA foam to maximize comfort. The pack plays to the buy it for life (BIFL) community as consumers seek out accessories that are investments.
