Al Brooking is the CEO at Karrimor Special Forces.

Founded in 1998, Karrimor SF evolved the civilian designs of the Karrimor rucksack brand and introduced both police and military features to the product range. We have the knowledge and expertise to design and develop products with the end user in mind providing comfort and practical use in the most challenging environments.

We operate a multi culture development programme so that our equipment is suited to law enforcement operations in most theatres of the world. It pays to be flexible, so we have developed a modular approach to load carriage where a basic item can be easily adapted to suit prevailing conditions.

Military requirements are always changing, new weapons, revised ways of working, new threats and the constant search for improved performance lead the team at Karrimor SF to constantly research, develop and refine our product range. Our direct contacts with the military result in a constant flow of feedback that we use to refine existing products or to develop new ones. There is nothing better than information direct from the guy who is using the equipment in the field. We have a constant flow of prototypes going backwards and forwards from the Karrimor SF headquarters to military and law enforcement contacts around the world who will evaluate the product in the field.

Due to the quality and durability of our innovative product designs, the Karrimor SF range is also popular with the outdoor market such as wilderness and bushcraft activities, as well as being used for expeditions or just a leisurely stroll on the moors.
