Askare Hip Pack
The Savotta Askare Hip Pack, originally tailored for sniper teams, evolved into an adaptable bum bag suitable for a wide range of applications beyond its military origins. The Savotta Askare Hip Pack offers an impressive 7-litre capacity, making it a versatile and essential companion for a wide range of specialised tasks and general use. Designed with functionality and adaptability in mind, this hip pack ensures you have ample space to organise and carry your survival gear effectively, whether you're on tactical missions, outdoor adventures, or everyday excursions. The large 7 litre capacity internal pack plus numerous external attachment options make this a very versatile general purpose bag. Its robust construction and thoughtful features cater to the diverse needs of professionals and enthusiasts alike, providing reliable performance in any situation.
The Savotta Askare hip pack (bum bag) boasts a secure buckle belt with stabilising wings for a comfortable fit. A flat open-sided compartment stores the belt when not in use, while thin padding enhances comfort and maintains the pack's shape during extended wear. The main compartment features a robust zipper for quick access to essentials, with internal compartments and elastic loops for organised storage.
There are strategic points on the bag which can be used to tie-down and secure gear. Additional storage options include front compartments with tie-down loops and rear elastic webbing loops. A water drainage grommet ensures efficient water evacuation, suitable for wet conditions. The back includes a large, flat compartment with a removable foam pad, doubling as a belt loop for versatile carrying options. External features include PALS webbing and webbing loops for attaching gear or elastic cords. Horizontal webbing accommodates various pouches such as multitool pouches. Numerous webbing loops around the pack facilitate attachment of additional gear from tourniquets to tarps, ensuring versatility and functionality in various outdoor settings.

Carry Options
The Askare Hip Pack can be worn on the front for quick access or on the lower back. The belt, featuring large triangular wings for stability, is long enough to sling the pack over your back like a sling pack. The Askare can be attached on to your Savotta backpack by adding suitable SR Buckles (SR SPLIT-BAR 25mm, SR PALS-mount 25mm) or G-hooks (not included). Alternatively, attach the Askare to the side of your pack by threading the pack's side compression straps through the large webbing loops on the front of the hip pack.
When carrying the Askare on your pack, stow the belt inside the open-ended compartment on the body side of the bag. Upon dropping your pack, simply unclip the Askare, retrieve the belt, and prepare for action with your gear ready to go. This design ensures versatility and quick deployment in various scenarios, maintaining readiness and efficiency in the field.
