This is my second MOLLE Assault pack. The original one is first generation Woodland Camo version. I am using the Woodland pack as my BOB, and the Desert Camo version for 2-3 day summer camping trips. Both are my by SDS (Specialty Defense Systems). There are several differences between the first and second generation packs.
- Shoulder straps are different
- Gen 2 pack has a waist belt
- Gen 2 large pocket has a zipper instead of draw-cord
- Gen 2 has an additional small Velcro pocket on the outside of large pocket
- Gen 2 has four cinch straps on the sides
