One of the first things I did when I joined my battalion in 1983 was replace the 58 pattern large pack so down I went to the local camping shop in Colchester and spend £80 on a Berghaus Cyclops roc with side pouches in DPM ( DPM webbing wasnt about then) size two so it went above the pouches of the 58 pattern webbing , one side pouch was removed so the then new issue roll mat could be carried very comfy and after the 58 large pack or GS bergen........wow.....
Anyway I manage to get my hands on a DPM Roc with side pouches from ebay the other day and its still a very comfy pack ...
When the first pattern PLCE was issues to B Coy it offered so much but proved to be terrible ,, later kit was better .
Arktis 42 and 45 chest rigs were handy.
Happy days
