fino a poco tempo fa la facevano solo col fastex nero e si può ancora vedere nei teatri operativi (cambia solo quello quindi chi ce l'ha nerp se la tiene nero). anche la mia ce l'ha nero perchè mi piaceva di più e la marca, come su quella di simo non è riportata (come sulla sua c'è solo scritto ifak, usmc e l'nsn), ma ti posso dire che non è una sola ditta a fabbricarla

la questione del "gibernaggio" è già molto dibattuta da noi tutti sul forum un altro aspetto che mi ha sempre molto interessato è il discorso dei pesi che si portano in battaglia i colli di cuoio.

a tal proposito sul libro to be a us marine a pag 140-143 ho trovato le seguenti info:
....although studies prove that a marine should carry no more than 30 % of his weight (50 pounds on average, marine have entered battle humping packs weighing as much as 140 pounds.
the estra weight not only takes a physicall toll on the body, but il also dulls mental capacity.
in fact, a marine who carries a heavy pack quickly loses situational awareness- there by endangering himself and his fellow marines.
to address this problem, the mrine corps trashed the molle pack (its external frame broke too frequently) and, after extensive biometrics testing, replaced it with a more reliable and comfortable, yet larger, pack made by arc'teryx:
the corps also drafted guidelines that specify what type of gear is to be carried in different situations.
the assault load is the lightest pack at 47.8 pounds, andincludes only those items needed to fight, such as rifle, ammo, bayonet, camouflage paint stick, hand grenades.
an approach march load weights 71.1 puonds and enables an average infantry marine to hike 20 miles in eight hours while maintaining 90% combat effectiveness.
the load includes the assault items, plus extra clothing, an entrenching tool, and three meals.
a sustained march load is similar to the approach load, but it assumes the marines will be not be resupplied for at least three days.
as a result, it weighs in at 93,9 pounds
marines carrying this load are to dump it immediately if they come under enemy fire so they can maneuver more easly.
the heaviest pack load is the 138 pounds "existence load. it is only used when marines do not know when they will be ressuplied.
it was this type of load that marines of task force 58 took into the a-stan in november 2001 when they sized camp rhino
the existence load is essentially a mule pack-marines carry it when embarking or debarking aircraft or amphibious assault craft, and when going from a landing zone to a secure area.
it is not intended to be carried over longer distances.

interessante anche perchè sinceramente non sapevo della presenza di marine antecedente a qualche mese fa in afghanistan. infatti io sapevo c'erano solo ranger e army al massimo ma non marines.
interessantissimo grazie e sto notanto che su sam post cosi fatti bene stanno aumentando sempre più, al posto che opinioni per carità interessanti a volte ma a volte meno. complimenti e grazie per averlo piazzato qui.
assault è più leggero per ovvi motivi. come non avevo commentato 2 giorni fa, i 20 chili forse sono quelli che portano quando vanno in accademia a studiare
interessante anche per il softair il discorso mental awareness effectiveness, ultra interessante.per il nostro ambito sportivo...etc etc
