What is Tacpack?

Tacpack is a monthly, no-frills, curated box of new and emerging tactical items, upgrades, and useful everyday carry (EDC) items for you to try out.

Each month the guys at Tacpack negotiate with manufacturers to deliver approximately $80 to as high as $130 worth of gear to your doorstep for $50. The value of the box varies because the manufacturers vary, and the gear provided will vary.

The company does all the negotiating, so there isn't a ton of choice in what you receive each month. In fact, there's no choice. You get what you get, but you can go back and buy a previous month's box if you so desire, and they have the box in stock.

With more than 15 million AR-15s in circulation in America and 20% of all firearm purchases being AR-15s, they're able to get great discounts on emerging modifications. If you don't have an AR-15, they do have a contest to win one so that your box has more bang for the buck.

In addition to the meat of the box, the tactical gear, there are other pieces of survival gear like knives, tools, and cords. They also include everyday items that fit in with the 2A culture like branded coffee tumblers, novelty items, patches, shirts, etc.

One quick note on the monthly frequency before you dive right in. When going back through the past boxes, there aren't any listed between June 2017 - June 2018. It's assumed there were no boxes were delivered or if they just aren't listing any from that period on the website.

On the frequency consistency, your mileage may vary.

Tacpack Review

The Internet is full of tactical gear and monthly tactical boxes, so it is important to know you're getting your money's worth.

Check out the pros and cons of this subscription.

Pros vs Cons of Tacpack

Pros

  • High-quality, top of the line, gear for $50.
  • Heavily discounted wholesale prices. It looks like you really are getting steep discounts passed on to the subscriber with this box.
  • Past boxes are available for purchase. If they've got the box in stock they'll sell it to you.
  • Grab bags. When there is random gear left over, they package it together at pricing that must be close to losing money.
  • No contracts or commitments. Subscribe the month before, cancel with an email before you're charged on the 20th. Simple.

Cons

  • Lack of choice. You get what you get.
  • Curated upgrades may not fit your stock gear.
  • No way to know if you should opt-out or cancel before your box arrives.
  • Recent boxes don't have reviews or descriptions. Older boxes have reviews and pricing guides, so it'd be nice to see this on all boxes uniformly.
