Mystery ranch? It seems to be quite similar to their Military internal frame packs.
Can't be sure anyhow, I suppose every high end manufacturer, like MR or Kifaru would make changes to one of their models if a Unit like the SEAL's asked for it.

You have to realize that, sometimes SOF get clothing allowences, and everyone goes out and gets there own gear. It may not be SEAL issued cold weather gear. I could very well be, but it may be his own civvie stuff.

It has some similarities with the Norrona Para Ranger. Wouldn´t put too much money on it tough.

thats def not the gear I was issues at CIF here at FT Wainwright. I wish it was though. The only people who are issued gaitors up here at the instructors at the Northern Warefare Training Center.

It doesn't list specifics, AFAIR.

Going to Alaska without gaiters is suicidal (for your feet at least).

Sorry for bringing this up again, just wanted to say tha in my Bergans Alpinist manual it says that a modified version of the Alpinist is used by the US Navy SEALs, so, it could be a Bergans of Norway as I said in my earlier post

Yes, it really looks like it. Shape and colors matches perfectly.

Anybody knows about the Goretex they're wearing. I'm not sure but they might be Arctery'x LEAF alpha Pants and Jackets. I have a pair of them , they're brilliant.
