ALPS OutdoorZ is known for making extreme-duty packs and innovative gear for hunters, and now they are rolling out their first "everyday carry" solution for people who carry a defensive handgun, the ALPS OutdoorZ Ghost 30, which was developed to provide discreet carry options in a practical, daily use platform.

The Ghost 30 is built to satisfy both daily- and work-related needs as well as recreational activities. By incorporating firearm carry options within the pack, the Ghost 30 allows personal defense and 2A advocates to maintain a defensive condition anywhere they go.

The pack is built to the same high level as ALPS OutdoorZ's hunting packs and is ergonomically designed to wear comfortably and to withstand hard use. Padded shoulder straps with an integrated sternum strap and a padded back panel provide optimal load distribution and a custom fit for comfortable carry. Also included are multiple interior and easy-access pockets for storing up to two laptops and other essentials.

The heart of the Ghost 30 is the ability to accommodate a personal defense handgun. There is an ambidextrous-access carry pocket which is positioned behind the back panel and secured via left- and right-side zippers. The material inside the pocket is lined with loop fabric, allowing holsters with hook-and-loop backing material to attach inside the pocket for quick deployment of your gun. The Ghost 30 front panel also features loop fabric so that users can position their holster for front-panel access, or adding additional accessories.
