Web-Tex Rucksacks

[Bushcraft Apprentice]

Hello,

Tried putting "web-tex" in the search box but didn't come up with anything

Anyway...

I was wondering whether anyone on here has any experience of Web-tex rucksacks, to be specific the full size(120L) or 3/4 size(90L) PLCE Systems? My local outdoors shop (the owners are friends of the family) stock these so I'd quite like to buy off them if possible but if not the bags aren't any good it doesn't matter too much. I'm a little cautious as last year I got a Highlander (think it was 88litre) which I ended up returning as the velcro adjuster for the back height came undone each time I lifted it up.

Any help would be much appreciated or suggestions of alternative rucksacks if the Web-tex ones aren't any good.

Cheers,

Rob

my first bergen was a web tex 120ltr and is still going strong
i personally have never had any trouble with it

You could get a real PLCE bergen for half the price that would last twice as long.

You'll find plenty of references to Web-Tex bergens here, rarely favourable..........Why pay more for an asian copy when you can buy the real McCoy for much less..( have a look on eBay).......if you've got around £160 to spend ( the prices I've seen for a new Web-Tex bergen)...check out the berghaus vulcan...

First of all I apologise for being so late replying to this topic.

I'm not in any rush for a large rucksack at the moment so will have a think. Had a few messages offering me bergans for sale but I'll hold fire for the moment, thanks for getting in touch though. Think one of the messages did mention that there's was green, is it possible to get ex army bergans in OG rather than DPM as I'd prefer that?

Thanks again,

Rob

Yes the earlier 90 pattern Issue Bergen was in Olive Green Only.

120L capacity all up with the side pouches attached and available in a long back and short back sizing.

They turn up on ebay pretty regularly..
