German Army packs

[Globetrotter.uk]

I am looking at buying a new pack. I have seen in some army surplus stores German army 65l packs, has anyone used german packs before and if so how reliable are they?

i used to have a 45l german mountain pack and it was well made and very comfy.
didnt hve a frame though so no air between the pack and my back so it got warm quick.

Hi, you need to search in the forum for a thread entitled 'german army bergen' - I can't figure out how to post the link, but it basically says it's a very bad rucksack (infact the worst I've ever owned). The smaller canvas German rucksacks on the other hand are fantastic.

I'll bump the original thread up so that you can find it easier.

Hope this helps.
