'''General capacity''' is measured in weight units, and allows for all types of items, so long as they do not exceed the listed maximum amount of weight units.
** Example: The '''field pack''' is a backpack with a general capacity of '''40 units'''.
'''Special capacities''', often nicknamed '''pouches''' or '''pockets''', are additional sections separate from the general capacity, which typically only allow for one type of item, with a small, limited maximum amount for each.
** Example 1: The '''TT-1A Assault vest''' is a tactical vest with a general capacity of '''5 units''' and an additional special capacity called '''Ammunition''', which allows '''up to 6 [[weapon accessory#Magazines|magazines]] with a size tier of Large or less'''.** Example 2: The '''BDS 40mm rig''' is a leg rig with a general capacity of '''0 units''' and an additional special capacity called '''Ammunition''', which allows '''up to 8 [[Ammunition#Heavy weapon calibers|grenade launcher rounds]]'''.** Example 3: The '''Crosman Elite competition vest''' is a tactical vest with a general capacity of '''3 units''' and three additional special capacities: '''Ammo 1''' (allows up to 2 magazines, size tier Large or less), '''Ammo 2''' (allows up to 2 pistol magazines, max size tier Small or less), and '''Ammo 3''' (shotgun shells only, up to 20).
Full definitions of each special capacity will be shown on the relevant lists, linked in the sections below.

=== Emergency situations ===
If your character wears no LBE at all, it theoretically forbids them from carrying anything in inventoryother than equipped [[weapons]] and equipped [[clothing]]. This can be left up to the GM's discretion, however we recommend that characters without any LBE at all be given one or two immediately accessible "pockets", each with a capacity between 1 and 2 units.
In certain situations, it may also be useful to transport or move LBE items (even if not empty or not foldable) over short distances. Once again, the right to do so should be left up to the GM's discretion, with an official recommendation to allow it from time to time, if the situation allows.
As [[LBE#Accessibility|explained above]], backpacks are the only type of LBE in which the items are not immediately accessible unless it is first removed and set down on the floor; this contrasts with their large carrying capacity.
The unique capacity of a backpack is the '''money pouch''', which is a special pouch designed to carry [[Valuables|coins]]. The money pouch is available on all backpacks, and it always has a capacity of up to 20 weight units, therefore allowing a carrying capacity ranging between 200 and 2000 coins, depending on type and individual coin weight, and a total value capacity of up to [[File:Parallar symbol.pngValuables#Cash|10px]] '''100 000''', which can be achieved by carrying 200 platinum coins (200 x [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]] '''500''').
A character may wear only one backpack at a time.
