Prometheus Design Werx

EDC to
the Wilderness

This day pack has the objective of functioning as an extension of its user in their everyday carry needs, to any number of adventures and tasks in the field and wilderness. The pack name itself is an acronym based on the primary, top level design criteria it was built under. S.uspension, H.aul, A.ccess, D.urability, O.rganized. One of the most notable design aspects is the unique and distinct shape derived from a series of 3-dimensional arcs and a major and minor axes.

Details Make the Design

The S.H.A.D.O. Pack 24L shines in its carefully considered suite of functional details. From small, smart conveniences like the shock cord ice axe/tool keepers, the Gear Trap™ for securing bump/bike helmets, laser cut M.OLLE C.ompatible A.rray to mount MOLLE style accessory pouches, to even a loop panel to attach your morale patch choice of the day, or something more mission critical like an IFF marker.

Full Suspension

Contoured shoulder straps with MCA™ mounting points, sternum strap ladder, removable waist belt and lumbar pad; all with ventilated closed cell ripple foam padding for durable, long lasting comfort and stability while under load.

Modularity

The SHADO Pack 24L excels in its versatility. For wilderness and field use, the included padded waist belt offers additional support, stability and even more mounting options for EDC pouches such as our SP1. For street and urban use, the modular feature of the padded waist belt allows for it to be quickly removed for a more streamlined and stripped down mode of everyday carry. Scale this pack up or down and dial it in for your daily needs.

The main compartment is now at the full volume, with a deeper tub. The included (removable) EDCO Panel allows the user to infinitely customize their pack carry set-up.

Mr. 357
Great pack with lots of features, not heavy duty.

The biggest flaw I can see so far is that the handle is pretty light duty. I have a 20lb plate in the bag and it feels like the handle will rip when I lift it up. I know it’s not a true Ruck but I’d think it would be a bit beefier than it is.

So Nice I Bought It Twice

This PDW SHADO pack will be my second.
I bought the original model years ago , which is still in 100% functional operation, and have learned that this is THE pack for me in all related categories.
In buying this newer model it will become my new daily and my previous will become a permanent resident in the Jeep containing the more dire straights essentials.
I thank ya & appreciate ya PDW

Decent

Woojin plastic, 3/4 inch webbing, frame sheet is too big(zipper struggles), the 500d around the front loop field is a raw edge.

Very comfortable. Carries well. Lots of built in storage. Extra zipper pulls.

Great Day Pack

Everything you want in a day pack and nothing that you don't. I love the flexibility of the pack to have or not have the belt or beaver tail. The admin pocket has enough room to see what you have inside it and there is just enough molle to add pouches if needed but not so much that you scream tactical. My only critiques would be to make the entire admin pocket loop material and either make the second large pocket where the water bladder could go larger or delete it all together to give even more room to the main compartment. Again minor critiques. The color is a nice shade of green and the entire pack feels and looks well constructed. I can't wait to add all my pouches and fully have it set up for new adventures.
