About this file
This document is a salient characteristics specification for one-man pulks (sleds) and associated equipment to support the USMC Winter Mountain Leaders Course.
The contractor shall provide pulks/sleds, tow systems, and harnesses capable of sustaining cold weather mountain operations for USMC fireteams, with all equipment designed to be towed by a single person. The pulk/sled must meet specific physical requirements: maximum width of approximately 62cm, length of approximately 135cm, weight less than 9kg, and packing volume exceeding 350 liters. The sled must be white in color and constructed from rigid, fiber-reinforced resin laminate with a reinforced, rounded front section to prevent diving in deep snow and include replaceable runners. The tow system and harness must enable safe and efficient movement of the loaded sled in winter mountain environments and can be rigged with either a provided fragging bar or ropes. The harness must be wearable with or without a USMC pack, include a quick release system, and be MOLLE compatible. All products must be commercial-grade winter expedition/touring equipment constructed from rigid, fiber-reinforced resin laminate rather than standard polyethylene, durable and resistant to abrasion and environmental conditions, and capable of supporting cold weather employment in mountain environments including movement, sustainment enablement, and towing by one Marine.
