The Same Trusted Design, More Room.
The Warrior Helmet Cargo Pack Large is the big brother to the standard HCP — a 28-litre pack with the same expandable helmet cradle, built for when 12 litres isn't quite enough. It also works well as a standalone 24-hour grab bag or range-day pack when helmet storage isn't required.

Noctis Africa Expert Insight
BUY IF
- You want the same trusted expandable helmet/bulky-item cradle as the standard HCP, with more capacity for extended use.
- You want a padded 3D-mesh back for comfort under load.
- You want the option to MOLLE-mount it to a carrier or run it standalone.
- You want a hydration sleeve plus side pockets for small essentials, all in a genuinely compact footprint.
- You want a genuinely capable 24-hour grab bag or range-day pack, with the option of helmet storage if you need it later.
NOT IDEAL IF

- You need genuine multi-day patrol capacity.
CONSIDER
-
Warrior Helmet Cargo Pack (12L) if you want a smaller, lighter option.
-
Warrior Pegasus Day Sack if you don't need helmet storage and want a lighter, dedicated 24-hour/range-day pack instead.
-
Warrior X300 Pack if you need genuine multi-day patrol capacity.
Product Overview
The Large Helmet Cargo Pack (HCP) exists because the original pack's capacity wasn't always enough. If you're wearing a ballistic helmet, bump helmet, or other head protection and need to carry other gear as well, this larger pack gets it done. It's equally suited to use as a 24-hour grab bag or range-day pack when helmet storage isn't the priority.
It features a main central compartment for general storage, a separate internal sleeve holding a hydration bladder (not included, up to 2 litres), and 2 side pockets for smaller items. On the outside, a fully adjustable folding pouch — the expandable cargo cradle — is designed to carry a combat helmet, but works equally well for a rain jacket, climbing rope, or any other bulky item, freeing up space in the main compartment.
Construction
Frameless design with a padded 3D-mesh back panel and adjustable straps for comfort under load. Modular MOLLE webbing runs across the exterior for extensive customisation, with multiple internal mesh pockets and sleeves for organising smaller items and documents. Four side compression straps secure the load and maintain a streamlined profile.

Noctis application note: A genuine step up in capacity from the standard HCP without moving into full patrol-pack territory, and capable enough as a 24-hour or range-day pack in its own right — for true multi-day loadouts, see the X300 Pack.
