Yeah I know what QR buckles are, usually thery're on both shoulder straps.......I am assuming that this is a PLCE british bergan, & apart from the black mesh back, top lid pocket, grommets in the bottom, black underside fabric to the straps & ,added pouches, then yes, this is pretty standard.!

It's not A PLCE Infanty Bergen... Nor is it a Tailored Infanty Bergen... It's Standard for this Bergen to have 1 QR strap and all of the other features...

Thanks anyway, John. I only started guessing after other folks started narrowing it down.

On another note, the straps on the issue large ALICE rucks only had the quick release feature on the right strap.

My wife earned some serious brownie points that day, it was less than a year since some little scrote stole my cyclops alp 2.
Apart from the elastic on the lid going it is still a good old pack ,years ago i took my old munro to a tent repair company and they
sewed some new elastic on and it looked like new . think i might take this one in and see if they can do the same .

You can do it yourself, just pick out the stitching of the edging, put in a length of bungee cord, attach it to both ends, & resew with strong thread, I've done it a few times (bergen lid elastic does do that) it does'nt really show unless you examine it, but if you want that profesional look & can afford it, why not.....if you do have it done, ask them to secure the other side too, because it's probably due to go aswell....................great bag.....................oh yes, untie that webbing, your'll ruin it & it looks girlish.....
