Austrian KAZ 75 General Purpose Pouch, Surplus
A bit like the US Butt Pack but larger, with better buckles, and from Austria. These were issued to the Bundesheer since the '70s as general-purpose packs for most carrying needs. Used surplus.

A bit like the US Butt Pack but larger, with better buckles, and from Austria. These were issued to the Bundesheer since the '70s as general-purpose packs for most carrying needs. Used surplus.
Note! Some have three closure straps, some have "only" two. Also, a strap of any kind or extra stuff isn't included, we're talking about the plain pack here. The belt clips on the back are also most often missing.
The Austrians produced quite good-looking clothes and combat gear after WWII but in the mid-'70s they adopted a more practical ensemble of issued uniforms and load-bearing gear. This pack is the later type and fairly simple thing with a few smart features.
This is a handy messenger bag made of sturdy Nylon. The flap has good coverage and is secured with straps and metal buckles. The bottom features fixed utility straps for a rain poncho or other accessory roll. The top of the bag has a drawstring closure but the cord may be missing.
The bottom fabric is rubberized and reinforced for durability.
Measurements about 32 x 33 x 12 cm (13" x 13" x 5")
We recommend purchasing a sling to use this as a shoulder bag. If you happen to own an Austrian webbing yoke, this works as a combat pack as well.
Condition
These are in used condition, often repaired but perfectly serviceable. The amount of wear and colors vary.
Austrian surplus
Functional, neutral, clean. That's what the Austrian Bundesheer gear is made of. Our Austrian surplus revolves mostly around the Anzug 75 and Anzug 03 clothing systems, but who knows, maybe the "Tarnanzug Neu" will make it's appearance if the Austrians decide to clear the stocks in the future. Get your OD gear while the stocks last.
After the Second World War the Austrian soldier looked like a weird mixture of Allies and Germans; the M1 style helmet and general profile really tried to bring that NATO vibe up, but a lot of the gear and even the dotted camouflage pattern looked surprisingly much like WW2 German issue. In the 70s they took a major leap towards NATO with the introduction of the all-green Anzug 75 clothing and equipment system closely inspired by the American equivalents, finally letting go of the "old stuff". The Anzug 03 brought the game up to date with some changes in effort to modernize the whole thing. Now the Bundesheer is again moving over to camouflage.
