GWA Citadel G3 Mk2: Desert Tiger
5/24 10am PST

Citadel

Back in day when Woodland and DCU was the issued pattern if you wanted to stand out odds are you were rocking Tiger Stripe. When GWOT / OEF kicked off and you were a cool guy odds are you were rocking Desert Tiger. It was also a popular pattern for the CIA’s Global Response Staff.

Desert Tiger holds a special place in a lot of hearts as it was the gateway camo for a lot of us. For me it’s the non conforming pattern, the “I want to be different” pattern. Woodland was always cool but it was also very common, Desert Tiger has always just hit different. It may even have the most rabid fanbase among all patterns.

Dual water bottle pockets, standard on the G3 Mk2 full size Citadels.
Coyote 498 Tweave doesn’t make an appearance often with only a few Citadels having featured it.

Citadel

Main compartment is loop lined and compatible with all Go Pouch models.
Pictured here with the full set, Small, Tall, Wide and Large.

Royal Purple in the main compartment w/ Radioactive Green in the laptop compartment. First time splitting hi-vis colors between both compartments in a Citadel.

Citadel

Mk2 features all the upgrades of the G3 plus new premium mesh and a larger gap between the narrower straps.

Padded laptop compartment with separate document pocket.

Front two zip pockets feature micro organization pockets.
The royal purp just hits.

Wouldn’t be a camo Citadel without matching camo loop Velcro. It’s a stunner.

Billing / shipping address, CVV and zip must match or risk your order being canceled (APO, MIL & Apple Pay customers exempt). $370/ea. Packs drop 5/24 10am PST. Not a pre-order.

Inflation has not been fun, we are all feeling it. My costs on building packs have skyrocketed this year with some materials going up 50% in cost. It’s already insanely expensive to manufacture in the USA especially using American sourced materials and it’s only getting more expensive. Costs have gone up and I’ve absorbed most of that increase while keeping MSRP is low as possible.

Citadel

G patches in Coyote 498 and Ranger Green flavors coming in June.

Citadel

Matching Radioactive Go Pouches instock now. Will have complementary pricing with Citadels at drop.
