001 — Design Profile
Maximum External Utility. Full Internal Modularity.
The Helix VX EXT2 is the fully-loaded configuration of the Helix platform, combining the VX four-point compression system with dual EXT2 external front pockets and Nalgene-fitted side pockets into a single cohesive high-feature pack built for operators who need everything accessible and nothing loose.
A top-load half zipper delivers fast, unobstructed access to the main compartment without fully opening the bag. Inside, dual 5-row MOLLE/PALS panels on both the back panel and the inner face of each EXT2 pocket give you three distinct modular mounting surfaces, the most configurable internal loadout in the Helix lineup.
