Last week at the Militra show at Malvern I picked up a well used Vector commando Bergen .
Heres loads of info on them on this thread ,

Here we go ,
Stated with a complete strip down and wash in the bath frame stays removed and straightened .
Loads of stress points restiched after twenty odd years of carrying its 120 liter plus that needed doing ,
The top straps for some reasion had been removed so thay were replaced ,
The removable waist belt fittings on the bergen had been removed so that was sorted out , extended the belt and fitted a bergbuckle ,
As the belt is removable I left these straps on maybe usefull as a pulk harness
Badge time ,
With a velcroed orenge panel behind ,
The pouche behind the side pouches is handy for an axe ,
Here the finished Item ,
These were the Kifaru packs of there day so Im glad I have managed to get it back to a working condition , loads of stiching but I have enjoyed it
