Does anyone own one of these or have used one?

Im wondering if they are any better than the uk issue longback bergen

That looks EXACTLY like my CyclopsII by Berghaus - I don't think its as advertised I'm afraid...

It does look like a cyclops clone

Ive found it for sale here slightly cheaper and with free postage

Did berghaus supply the german military or are these knock offs?

If I recall, these are copies of the Berghaus Cyclops IIas Miyagi said, made by Mil-tec http://www.sturm-miltec.de/2042/equipment/rucksacks/rucksack-_raincover_100-ltr-pes-oliv.htm
They were talked about in this thread, I think: http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53425

German SF have either Berghaus rucksacks (Vulcan or Atlas) or the Israeli-made KATA MB-114

The other Forces have this

Everything else that resemble them are cheap Asian copies.
