Flecktarn 65l Combat Rucksack

Standard issue German Army rucksack to professional soldiers. This top-loading rucksack is made from high-quality infrared resistant military cordura. The pockets on the rucksack are: two side pockets closed with an adjustable strap, main top loading compartment, map pocket on top of flap, zip up pocket accessible from above carrying handle, small velcro pocket in front of flap. The main compartment includes an integrated compression bag closed with a drawstring at both top and bottom. There is an aluminium rod through the top of the rucksack for stability over the shoulders and an internal pocket for the insertion of a German folding kip mat which provides stability for the back of the rucksack. The lower back has a sewn-in section of padding. Bottom of rucksack also zips open to allow for easy access to items located at the bottom of the main compartment of the rucksack, and can be used as a 'false-bottom' compartment in its own right for the carrying of items required for easy access. Rucksack opening and size is adjustable by means of four fastex clips; two which are designed to close the top-down flap, and two which are designed to compress or re-inforce the bottom of the rucksack. Shoulder straps are padded for comfort and are adjustable from hip to lower portion of shoulder strap, but also over the shoulder. Tensioning the upper adjustment allows the rucksack to be worn higher on the back, pushing the load ino a better carrying position instead of stressing the upper back only. An adjustable strap is provided around the hips which is opened with a fastex clip. This issue rucksack is used by soldiers on deployment and combines many practical features into one package which is convenient and comfortable. Add review Read customers reviews

What our customers say about this product:

This backpack is one of the best I have ever used and I take mine on every trip. It isn't the fanciest, and doesn't have all the features of really big trekking backpacks that I have had but it carries enough for three or four days and I've thrown it into the back of the van in plain sight or checked it in on on airplanes without a thought. It is tough and easy to clean up. To get the best out of it, you have to get a folding kip mat to put into the back which stiffens the back right up and does take away some capacity, but then you have something which is really comfortable to carry for a good long while. The extra pockets on the top lid are excellently well placed to organise documents securely (especially the concealed zip faces towards your back when you wear it). I use it more frequently than my other pack and it is well worth the money. - Submitted by Boris


I love this pack. I got one last year. This pack is perfect in every way. Worth the cash. If your're into German Flecktarn then you need this pack in your kit to go with the other German gear sold on the site. I go out into the woods and the backpack blends in even in the fall. What I love about this backpack is all the areas you can put stuff in, lots and lots of room in my German backpack. I hold a ton of gear and ammo and it is a very strong pack and easy on the back when packed full. There is an area to hold the German hydration pack too. - Submitted by Chris, of the Californian Army
