Snigel Varustekotelot

Snigel is an independent Swedish company, run by a group of officers, designers and engineers who are passionate about elevating the quality and function of personal equipment for modern soldiers and law enforcement officers. It was founded in 1990 by PH, an Airborne Ranger. He was driven by a personal quest to create the world’s ultimate backpack, combat vest and uniform. Guided by a “no compromises” approach to function, quality and comfort, he later earned an MFA in Industrial Design and started designing early versions of many of the carrying platforms we now offer.

Today, Snigel continues to be powered by passion. We design the products ourselves and use them in the Swedish Army where we are part-time soldiers. Our experience, combined with our customers’ expertise, forms the basis for the improvements that we constantly make to our products. Like you, we are never 100% satisfied, always looking ahead, innovating and pushing the limits of what is possible.

At the end of the day, our mission is to support you with the world’s best carrying systems and protective solutions to keep you safe and performing well. And since no two needs are exactly the same, we encourage you to get in touch and tell us your specific challenges. If we can’t find a solution, maybe we can invent one together. We’d love to hear from you.
