The story is most relevant to police procurement teams, tactical unit leaders and US distributors serving public safety agencies.

Press Release

Knoxville, Tenn. (July 2026)

Purpose-built breaching pack scores 4.26 out of 5 in real-world evaluations by law enforcement tactical teams.

Tasmanian Tiger®, a tactical nylon line of products distributed exclusively for the US market by Proforce Equipment, Inc., announced today that its TT Breacher Pack has been tested and recommended by the National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA) Member Tested and Recommended Program (MTRP), earning an overall score of 4.26 out of 5, placing it in the program’s Silver tier.

The TT Breacher Pack was tested by four NTOA members, including tactical operators specializing in breaching and less-lethal roles, who evaluated the pack across categories including design, durability, storage, versatility, and ease of use. Testers carried the pack during live training and operational deployments, assessing its ability to organize and secure breaching tools such as bolt cutters, sledges, hooligan tools, and detonation components.

“It exceeded our expectations and is a reliable, mission-ready option that we would confidently recommend for tactical breaching operations,” said one tester, a police officer from Pennsylvania who evaluated the pack over nearly two months of SWAT team training and operations. “We have been looking for a solution for our explosive breachers to be able to comfortably carry pre-made charges during certain deployments, and this has been just what we were looking for.”

A tester from Louisiana who used the pack in both breacher and less-lethal roles noted its “excellent durability, comfortable carry system, [and] outstanding modularity.” He continued, “Overall, I am very pleased with the TT Breacher Pack. It offers excellent durability, a comfortable carry system, outstanding modularity, and sufficient capacity for most breaching operations. I would confidently recommend this backpack to breachers or other tactical operators who are looking for a compact, durable, and highly adaptable pack capable of supporting the majority of breaching mission requirements.”

The tester from New York, who scored the pack 4.66 individually, called it “very well thought out, well-constructed” and suited to agencies needing a compact, dedicated tactical breaching solution.

Built on Tasmanian Tiger’s 700-denier CORDURA® construction (500-denier in Multicam), the TT Breacher Pack is purpose-built to carry breaching tools securely and access them fast. Two removable tool compartments organize and separate the gear, while an extendable design accommodates long bolt cutters. Removable padded shoulder straps, side compression straps, and internal mesh pockets round out a system designed to move with the operator, not against them.

The TT Breacher Pack weighs 3.4 lbs./54 oz. and measures 23 x 10.75 x 7 in. / 58 x 27 x 18 cm. It is available in black, olive, and coyote for an MSRP of $359. Multicam is available at an MSRP of $439.

“Tasmanian Tiger built the TT Breacher pack to solve a real problem tactical teams face: organizing and protecting mission-critical breaching tools under real operational stress. Having that validated by NTOA’s testers means a great deal,” said Richard Lewis, President and CEO of Proforce Equipment, Inc.

The MTRP has evaluated more than 3,000 products in real-world conditions since 2003 and is widely regarded by law enforcement agencies as a key resource in tactical equipment purchasing decisions. Results are shared with the law enforcement community through The Tactical Edge magazine, NTOA’s online database, its e-newsletters, and directly with manufacturers. Under NTOA’s MTRP rating scale, products scoring 3.00-3.99 receive the standard MTRP logo, 4.00-4.49 receive the Silver logo, and 4.50-5.00 receive the Gold logo.
