Rothco Convertible Medium Transport Pack

The Rothco Convertible Medium Transport Pack is a 25-liter tactical bag that shifts between a standard two-strap backpack and an ambidextrous single sling bag without removing the pack. Built from 600D polyester with polypropylene webbing, it suits hikers, commuters, and everyday carry users who need fast access to their gear on the move. Available in Black.

Two Carry Modes, One Pack

The Convertible Medium Transport Pack switches between backpack and sling modes by zippering the two 2-inch shoulder straps together and unbuckling one side. Excess webbing stows in a zippered pocket so nothing hangs loose. Sling mode keeps the bag on the body and swings it forward for access without setting it down, which is useful during a commute, on a bike, or on a trail where stopping to dig through a full backpack is inconvenient. A top grab handle adds a third carry option for short lifts.

Organized Storage Across Four Compartments

At 25 liters and 17 × 10 × 9 inches overall, the Rothco Convertible Transport Pack holds a meaningful load without bulk. The main rear compartment includes a zippered internal pouch and a mesh pocket for separating items by size or type. Three additional zippered compartments with internal pockets handle smaller essentials, electronics, and accessories. A dedicated rear hook-and-loop compartment is sized for a hydration bladder. The bladder itself is not included.

MOLLE-Ready and Built for Outdoor Use

PALS webbing runs along the exterior of the Convertible Transport Pack, so standard MOLLE-compatible pouches and accessories attach directly without adapters. The 600D polyester shell and polypropylene webbing are built for repeated outdoor use, and storage compartment interiors feature water-repellent lining with heavy-duty zippers. Breathable mesh padding on the back panel and shoulder straps reduces heat buildup during extended carry, and the shoulder straps are adjustable to fit different torso lengths.

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Rothco Convertible Medium Transport Pack suits hikers, cyclists, commuters, and everyday carry users who want a single bag that adapts between backpack and sling configurations. The MOLLE webbing and hydration sleeve make it a practical choice for day trips, range visits, or urban carry where quick access and modularity matter.

This pack contains no ballistic panels, armor plates, or cut-resistant materials and provides no protective or bulletproof capability. It is not designed as a primary load-bearing pack for multi-day expeditions requiring frame support. The hydration bladder is not included.

Common Questions

How does the convertible sling mode work?

To switch the Rothco Convertible Medium Transport Pack into sling mode, zipper the two 2-inch shoulder straps together to form a single strap, then unbuckle one side from the bag. The extra webbing slack stows in a zippered pocket. To return to backpack mode, unzip the straps and rebuckle. The sling is ambidextrous and works on either shoulder.

Does the pack come with a hydration bladder?

No. The Rothco Convertible Medium Transport Pack includes a rear hook-and-loop compartment designed to hold a hydration bladder, but the bladder itself is not included and must be purchased separately. The compartment is compatible with standard hydration systems that fit within the pack's overall dimensions.

What MOLLE accessories can attach to this pack?

The Rothco Convertible Transport Pack features PALS webbing on the exterior, which accepts standard MOLLE-compatible pouches, utility pouches, and accessories. No adapters are required for MOLLE-spec attachments. Check your pouch dimensions against the pack's 17 × 10 × 9 inch exterior before purchasing.

How water-resistant is this bag?

The Rothco Convertible Medium Transport Pack features water-repellent lining inside the storage compartments and heavy-duty zippers. The lining is rated water-repellent rather than waterproof, so the pack is suited for light rain and moisture exposure during outdoor use but is not rated for submersion or sustained heavy rain.

Are the shoulder straps adjustable for different body sizes?

Yes. The Rothco Convertible Transport Pack has adjustable padded shoulder straps that can be lengthened or shortened to fit different torso lengths. Both straps include breathable mesh padding. In sling mode, the single combined strap is also adjustable for crossbody carry on either side.

The Bulletproof Zone Promise

When you buy body armor, you're buying your safety. We don't take that lightly. Here's what every order from Bulletproof Zone includes.

1. Authorized dealer of every brand we carry

Every plate, vest, and carrier we ship comes from the manufacturer directly to our warehouse. We don't sell gray-market product, surplus, or returns. That means factory-fresh stock, the full manufacturer warranty, and real after-sale support — the kind only an authorized dealer can offer.

We maintain authorized-dealer relationships with America's leading body armor brands, including Spartan Armor Systems, AR500 Armor, RMA Defense, Shellback Tactical, Caliber Armor, DFNDR Armor, Protection Group Denmark, BulletSafe, BulletBlocker, and over 40 more.

2. Best price, guaranteed

If you find a lower price at another authorized dealer of the same product within six months of your purchase, we'll refund the difference.

Why the "authorized dealer" requirement? Because gray-market and surplus armor may not be genuine, may have a compromised supply chain, and almost never comes with a manufacturer warranty. We won't price-match against products that may not actually protect you.

3. Free fitment consultation

Body armor only protects you if it fits. Email us a photo and your measurements before you order, and one of our specialists will help you size your carrier and plates correctly — at no charge, no obligation.

4. Trusted by thousands of customers

Bulletproof Zone has been a trusted authorized dealer of America's leading body armor manufacturers for over five years. We have over 4,000 verified Trustpilot reviews from real customers across all 50 states.

Price Match Guarantee — Terms

  • You must have purchased the item from our website before requesting the price match.
  • Discounted items and "free with purchase" items are not eligible.
  • The item must be in stock on the competitor's website at the time of your request.
  • The price match is valid for six months from the date of your purchase.
  • The competitor must be an authorized dealer of the product. Auction sites (eBay, Overstock), discounters, and gray-market resellers do not qualify.
  • The competitor must operate an online store. Brick-and-mortar-only retailers do not qualify.
  • Price match applies to the item price plus shipping. Sales tax is excluded.

To request a price match, email us a link to the product on our site and the same product on the competitor's site within six months of purchase. We'll process the refund.
