The T3 HANS backpack was originally made for Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD, source: https://www.t3gear.com/t3-hans-backpack/). It can be worn as a backpack or mounted to another larger backpack, or even plate carrier. The HANS pack was first available in 2014 (source: https://soldiersystems.net/2014/06/04/darley-defense-days-t3-gear-2/#comments). The one on this page was mounted to a metal ALICE pack frame, different from the T3 version only offered to military customers before ~2021 (source: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1800973036588888/posts/5988823021137181/?comment_id=5989861991033284&reply_comment_id=5990038761015607).
