The Rothco Large Transport Pack is a 600 denier polyester tactical pack measuring 19 inches x 15 inches x 8 inches, built for field use, travel, and extended carry. It is MOLLE compatible and hydration bladder ready, with a water-repellent coating on the lining and pockets. Available in Black, Olive Drab, Black/Olive Drab, and Coyote Brown.
Room for Everything You're Carrying
The Rothco Large Transport Pack centers on a large main compartment with heavy-duty zippers that open along the bag's full length, making it straightforward to load and access bulky or layered gear. A front zippered compartment with an exterior pouch adds a dedicated zone for items that need to stay separate and within reach. Cinch straps and a drag handle give additional options for securing and moving the pack when conditions change.
Hydration and Weather Resistance Built In
The Rothco Large Transport Pack includes a dedicated hydration bladder-compatible pouch, so a reservoir can be routed and accessed without reorganizing the main compartment. The lining and pockets carry a water-repellent coating that helps keep contents dry in wet or unpredictable conditions, reducing the need for separate dry bags on shorter outings.
Carry Comfort Over Distance
Adjustable padded shoulder straps with quick-release buckles distribute load and allow the pack to be dropped quickly when needed. A removable waist belt stabilizes the pack during movement and shifts some weight off the shoulders on longer carries. The padded mesh back panel adds ventilation between the pack and the wearer's back, reducing heat buildup during active use.

Who This Is For and Isn't
The Rothco Large Transport Pack suits hikers, campers, tactical users, and travelers who need a structured, high-capacity pack with MOLLE expandability and hydration access. The quick-release shoulder straps and removable waist belt make it a practical choice for anyone carrying the pack for extended periods over varied terrain.
This is a non-ballistic tactical pack. It provides no ballistic or stab protection. The hydration bladder-compatible pouch is included; a bladder is not. The pack is not intended as a primary duty bag where ballistic panel inserts are required.
Common Questions
Does the pack come with a hydration bladder?
The Rothco Large Transport Pack includes a hydration bladder-compatible pouch but does not include a bladder itself. A separately purchased hydration reservoir that fits the pouch's routing can be used with this pack.
What does MOLLE compatibility mean for this pack?
The Rothco Large Transport Pack features MOLLE webbing on its exterior, allowing compatible pouches, holsters, and accessories to be attached and arranged to suit the user's loadout. Attachments are sold separately.
How does the water-repellent coating work?
The lining and pockets of the Rothco Large Transport Pack carry a water-repellent coating that helps resist light moisture and wet conditions. This coating reduces water absorption in the pack's interior but is not a waterproof barrier for submersion or heavy sustained rain.
Can the waist belt be removed if not needed?
Yes. The Rothco Large Transport Pack includes a removable waist belt. It can be detached when not needed and reattached to help stabilize the pack and distribute weight during longer or more active carries.
What colors and SKUs are available?
The Rothco Large Transport Pack is available in four colors: Black (RTC-7287), Olive Drab (RTC-72870), Black/Olive Drab (RTC-7243), and Coyote Brown (RTC-7289). All variants share the same dimensions and weight.
