optics shell-pack

This new breed of rugged pack protects optics, electronics and even weapons, by marrying light molded-foam shells and 360 padding for demanding users like press, military, vloggers, surveyors, investigators, etc. The striking aesthetics project an image of the owner at the leading edge of technology. The compartments will fit a laptop, tablet, pro camera systems, drones like Mavic Pro, accessories like card-readers, and personal items like snacks, rain shell, or first aid kits that are often not allotted on most packs. The molded back-pad is abrasion resistant while conforming to the spine and ventilating sweat. The top shell has 6 spots for our patented Hardpoint® parts allowing optional attachment of loops, lights, bungee systems, molle panels, etc. This pack is also very suitable for motorcycle use as it won't flap in the wind. Military modular webbing (MOLLE) is provided throughout on the sides, straps, and the interior is lined with fuzzy panels to allow expansion with pouches, hook-backing i.d. patches, etc. YKK® Zippers, genuine Cordura® 1000D nylon (Grayman models are Polyester), and reinforcing stitch patterns insure lasting quality.

PLEASE NOTE: All HardPoint™ accessories are sold separately. They are not included with this bag.

Additional Note:
This pack will get quite heavy when fully loaded with digital gear, so the modular webbing (MOLLE) is kept to an amount most suited to adding smaller pouches like those for flashlights, rather than large heavy items like water bottles.

I strapped down 2 motorcycle tires on this bag.

And rode my my motorcycle 30 minutes on the highway to the mechanic to get them installed.
love this backpack!
The modularity and durability is outstanding!

Range bag

Working great as my range bag. Was able to set up all the inserts to fit my ear/eye pro, spotting scope, range finder and cleaning kit bag. Front area under the hard shell carries my handguns and ammo. Great bag so far

Perfect Amateur Radio Bag

I purchased the Pill Box Kick *ss bundle in black. The pack seems very well constructed with Cordura on the outside. It comes with an ample supply of padded Velcro dividers for the main compartment. The bundle comes with a set of pads labeled “shoulder pads” which I didn’t understand because the shoulder pads on the pack do not come off. I emailed them and found out that they are used as a hip belt on the nylon waist strap for extra comfort when the pack is loaded down with your electronics. That was a little confusing. The bundle also includes 4 Hard Point Stopgaps which are very difficult to put on using the included 15mm screws when you are also putting on the rails and Beavertail. It can be done, but I highly recommend you purchase the 20 mm screws If you’re using any of the hard point parts. I think the documentation could be a little better on this stuff. The pack is great though and I currently use it for my Icom IC-705 radio, AH-705 tuner and PA-500 amp. The radio is sitting in a Gigaparts Explorer 705 pouch which Velcros in perfectly to the pack. I can just open the pack, attach the antenna and I’m on the air.
I’m happy with my purchase. I’ll probably feature this setup on my Trenchkräft YouTube channel.

Great pack, on my 3rd!

After my first was stolen years ago, i bought another. When it came time to replace it a few weeks ago, I bought 3rd! 5+ years of daily driving with no real complaints. Nothing else on the market has the features or the cool design of this bag. I get compliments everywhere i take it, and everyone is always asking where i got it!

Great Versatile Backpack

Great bag. Only complaints are the price and the fact that putting those little screws through the holes is a PIA. But overall, I would buy this again and again, every time.

Rugged, but I wish there was an easy way to re-orient the molle webbing 90 degrees

As always, Hazard 4 has an amazing bag that is worth every penny. The pillbox is Rugged, but I wish there was an easy way to re-orient the molle webbing 90 degrees. I love the options to customize this bag to my ideal travel loadout.

Top Notch

This pack is top notch just like the rest of hazard 4’s stuff. I’ve had the Hibachi (the little brother to the pillbox) for quite a few years now and they’re both A+ quality. It’s stout, keeps its form forever, and modular. I’m currently using the pillbox as a dedicated gun pack for my KRISS vector. Stores the vector, suppressor, a few mags, med kit, and anything else you’d need in a go bag. They’re 100% worth the investment.

My Favorite Backpack Ever

I've gone through many packs, and this is my favorite. The rigidity is great, not just for camera equipment but also cables, chargers, batteries, GPS equipment, dust blower bulb, GoPro/accessories, and more. The rail system allows me to lash down equipment, offers attachment capabilities (cameras, H4 HardPoint attachments), while the Beavertail (both separate add-ons that require additional hardware). It can hold my bump helmet and offers plenty of space for patches. I attached my Hatchling to the Beavertail, and since they're both in the "Grayman" series, they blend perfectly. Trust me: Get the rails, Beavertail and bungee when you buy this! And a pair of HardPoints for the middle receptacles. Also -- Something that wasn't on the product description that I love is that the rails have an English/Metric ruler on them! High quality plastic. Flexible but resilient. Another benefit is that it provides greater structural support for the pack as a whole. The thermoformed shell is extremely strong, but the rails make it even stronger. It's perfect for all of the equipment I need for my work. I use this for journalism, and being able to get banged up without having to worry about sensitive equipment is especially important for me. Plus, it's not bulky -- it's just the right size! It's lightweight, too.I finally found the perfect backpack for my videojournalism work. There's nothing to improve. I'll buy these long into the future.

What a bag!!!

I bought this bag to hold my entire drone kit. It holds 1 DJI Mavic pro 2, 1 DJI Mavic Air, 3 spare batteries for each drone, chargers and hubs for each drone, spare props, an iPad mount, a landing pad, all required cables and my iPad Pro, thereâ€s still room to add my MacBook Pro, charger and GoPro with karma grip, thatâ€s a hell of a lot of kit and it is all organised perfectly! Amazing bag, well made, well thought out and well worth it!

Great for Camera Equipment

This bag is great for carring all of my camera equipment.

Great piece of gear

Rigid yet comfortable pack that performs equally well in the bush or in the boardroom- itâ€s a bit tactical for the corporate head shed meetings but is a good conversation piece. Plenty of storage for gear and phones and chargers and such and laptop access is a breeze.

A tech pack built for urban warriors.

The Pillbox is my fourth Hazard 4 bag/pack. My other products are the air support, the officer, and the tonto(if you can count it as a pack, lol). I have traveled all over with Hazard 4 and the thing I like the most is that all their gear look tough and serious and they are built to last. The pillbox is excellent at holding all my gear in a very organized way. I also have the long dividers and the hatch pouches. I use two dividers as lids and attached the two hatch pouches on either side of the pack to store cables and such. I was surprised to find the pack just as roomy as the Officer which is a 30l pack.i also have two of the hard point attachments although I do wish I bought enough to cover all six sections as I can see where they can be a benefit down the road.

Good backpack in need of minor improvements

Greetings, dear Hazard 4, I send you greetings from the cold Russian Federation, the glorious city of Moscow. Just want to apologize for the bad English, I use Google translator. I want to note that it would be nice to apply photos, when writing a review on a backpack, it's not easy to explain all the subtleties and uncomfortable moments that have come to light when using Pillbox for several months. But we have what we have, I will try to disclose all the nuances and notes I have noticed that I would like to state about this backpack. I put all the ratings of 5 stars, but only out of gratitude to the team for developing this concept, and for the great potential that this product has. I do not want to say anything about the curvature of our brothers from Taiwan, but it's impossible not to see with a naked eye the skewing of the patch with the brand, uneven seams, and apparently not so well understood scheme for embroidering inner pockets, some of which are absolutely useless and not protected from falling out things from them. These defects need to be eliminated, they are not a big problem. For the most part I use this model in the city, move very much on foot, often in a large stream of people, when the backpack has to be removed from the shoulders, and hold the handle on the top of the backpack. And if the fastening of the shoulder straps to the backpack is very well thought out and looks durable, then the fastening of the upper and lower handle to the backpack is a single-layer Cordura stitched with threads in a cross-section, and does not look durable and reliable, especially if the backpack load is more than 5-7 kilograms. According to its functional purpose, the backpack conforms to the stated requirements, yes, there will not fit a very large laptop into the back compartment adjacent to the back. A lot of fragile equipment will fit into the main compartment, even medium-sized drone or some oversized weapon in disassembled condition, expensive optics. And all this will be perfectly protected from blows and other physical influences from the outside. I took the backpack in black and expected that in a dusty urban environment it would get very dirty, but no, he feels great, although he does not throw it into a washing machine, he'll have to carry it to the dry cleaning. There are also questions about fixing the Molle lines along the shoulder straps of the backpack. Why are they located under the horizontal fastening of objects, and not vertical? Maybe I do not understand something, but specifically for me it would be a much more functional solution (by the way the decision to arrange the cordura on the perimeter of the backpack for horizontal fixing is, in my opinion, correct). ÂAnother important part, the placement of weapons. I understand perfectly well that it is not wise to remove weapons, but sometimes we, as specialists, should not attract attention, or we have additional trunks, and they need to be cleaned up in a backpack. For quick access to weapons, it's better to use an intermediate compartment, and any pistol, glock, probably even in the SMG body weight, any SMG, Criss Vector, a short MP, can easily fit there. But I know for sure that AKSU does not fit there. More "thick" rifled weapons and smoothbore like TAC-14, Shockwave, or the same short AK already have to be placed in the first compartment, and then, only on condition immediately behind the front wall of the rucksack, and squeeze in there with great difficulty, if they are sharpened under concealed wearing, shortened, and their total length does not exceed 45 cm. But I think this is already unnecessary remarks. In general, I liked the backpack, I still did not manage to use the HardPoint fastening system properly, until I can say that these fasteners look very stylish and reliable, the author of the concept has a separate respect (bought 6 pieces, plug all the holes in the backpack). 5/5 With the hope that the project will be perfected. Thank you Hazard 4 for your products, I expect from you even cool new products! I give gratitude and greetings to the team.

Great Product!

I was looking for a backpack for workplace use to transport personal gear and my business laptop. The pack distributes the weight well when used in backpack mode, but can be carried using the integrated handle. I commute from the Washington DC metro area, by metro / train three days per week, traveling 2.5 hours each way. The Pillbox has been an excellent choice for me. I am happy to have found Hazard 4 and their very functional products!

Practical. Impressive.Light. Logistical. Ballistic. Operational. Xact (Pillbox)

I retired Federal Law Enforecement and have been on many Teams and had a variety of packs. I have been a fan of the new semi rigid punches that packs have had recently but when Hazard 4 recently showed this at Shot Show I could not wait to get my hands on one. The pack is rigid yet comfortable and holds all my tech for my new career like iPad Pro, GoPro hero 5 black and session in the GoPro case as well as my Bose Quiet Comfort 35 in its case and other electronics. The adjustable waist band with locking buckle is fantastic. Most packs that have a firm back either use some sort of metal stiffener but Hazard 4 has found a way to make it supportive yet light which helps when carrying heavy tech and photo equipment. The loop interior fabric allows for adding patches and other hook and loop add-ons. I feel all my gear is protected yet lighter in this pack then in others. Great Job Hazard 4!!!!!
