The Waterproof Aircrew Survival Pack from Watershed was developed as an airtight and waterproof backpack system for isolated personnel. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, think downed flyer. In addition to keeping critical survival gear organized and dry thanks to the 44” YKK Aquaseal zipper which creates an airtight, waterproof clamshell-style opening, it offers approximately 37 lbs of buoyancy in sea water when inflated. Inside there are two laser cut Tegris panels for organization of SERE items, as well as storage pockets for the GAU-5A Aircrew Survival Rifle and magazines. On the outside, the WASP features a laser cut MOLLE panel, an elastic keeper with cord lock cinch, and 36” webbing keepers with G-lock fasteners. Shoulder straps are sewn in a continuous loop with 4000 lbs – rated webbing and Cobra buckles, enabling the pack to withstand high-G deceleration forces during deployment. Naturally, it can be stowed in and deployed from ACES II and ACES V ejection seats. Construction: • All seams RF welded, no glue or tape used • 500d Cordura®, 2-Side TPU laminated Kryptothane™ outer fabric, embossed to minimize IR signature • Laser cut fabric panels are dual ply 500d Cordura® Armathane™ material • 44” YKK…
