Product information
The KATARA-16 backpack is perfect for the urban traveler or the dedicated everyday carry (EDC) enthusiast. With removable straps, you can quickly convert the KATARA-16 into a single-shoulder VSlinger whenever you desire the quick accessibility of a slingpack.
The outer top pocket has a zippered compartment, elastic webbing organization, a slip pocket, and a hook-and-loop field for ID patches. Two Hypalon MOLLE-Air side panels lets you attach our HYDRA Water Bottle Holder, or single channel MOLLE accessories.
The bottom pocket is lined with 210-D high-viz orange ripstop nylon, and has room for an iPad Mini, wallets, phones etc. Behind this pocket is a hidden Hook and Loop Accessory compartment. The outside of the pocket has a low-profile laser-cut CORDURA MOLLE-Air panel for additional attachments.
Inside of the KATARA, there’s a padded sleeve for tablets/Ultrabooks (up to 12") that can be accessed from the left or right side of the pack. This sleeve also doubles as a hydration bladder pocket. The front of the sleeve is lined with loop fabric for your hook-and-loop accessories.
Opposite to the padded sleeve, you’ll find zippered pocket on top, and a “3-Mode” convertible pocket on the bottom. The “3-Mode” convertible pocket can be opened from its left or right zipper and has a flap top closure. The “3-Mode” pocket can also be rolled-down and stored, revealing a large loop field for more hook-and-loop accessory attachments. There are two side internal pockets with elastic retention for medical gear, knives, or flashlights.
The newly designed back panel lets you remove and switch shoulder straps to setup your KATARA as a right- or left-shoulder VSlinger slingpack for quick access. Shoulder straps are secured with hook-and-loop fasteners, durable Duraflex buckles and G-hooks. It’s like having multiple bags in one package!
For the best balance of weight and strength, we use ultra-durable 1000-D Cordura® nylon at high-wear areas (bottom, sides), and 500-D Cordura® for the rest of the bag. Our Cordura® is treated with DWR (Durable Water Repellent) for all-weather performance, and will be ready every time you need it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know about SEAL
What is SEAL Hemostatic Spray?
SEAL is an FDA-cleared hemostatic spray designed to rapidly stop bleeding. It works by forming a gel barrier over the wound upon contact, instantly halting blood flow while promoting the natural clotting process.
How does SEAL work?
SEAL uses a proprietary formula that reacts with blood to instantly form a protective gel barrier. This barrier physically stops bleeding while simultaneously activating the body's natural clotting factors, providing both immediate and sustainable hemostasis.
Is SEAL safe to use?
Yes, SEAL is FDA-cleared for over-the-counter use. The formula is non-toxic and does not cause tissue damage. It has undergone rigorous testing to ensure safety and effectiveness in a variety of applications.
Can SEAL be used on all types of wounds?
SEAL is designed for external use on minor to moderate wounds. It should not be used on severe arterial bleeding that requires immediate medical attention, deep puncture wounds, or internal injuries. As with any medical product, consult with a healthcare provider for serious injuries.
How long does SEAL last once applied?
SEAL's gel barrier remains effective for up to 24 hours. However, it's recommended to seek professional medical care as soon as possible. The barrier can be easily removed when proper wound treatment is available.
What's the shelf life of SEAL?
SEAL has a shelf life of 3 years from the date of manufacture when stored properly. Each canister is marked with an expiration date. Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight and extreme heat for maximum effectiveness.
