Berghaus Crusader III 90+20 Rucksack

The successor of the legendary Crusader, this is the updated version of the old workhorse, now with all the fancy little luxuries the 21st century has to offer! Lots of PALS attachment points, hydration bladder compartment, etc.

Berghaus started their conquest of the military world during the Falklands War when British troops needed a kit that was up to the challenge they were sent to win. Since then Berghaus has been kitting out the British military and many other European armies with their excellent quality rucksacks.

Size

These come in four different sizes according to user height. A shorter size is often perfectly useable for a taller person, it simply sits a few centimeters higher up, something of a personal preference.

• Size 2: 160-173 cm / 5' 3" - 5' 8"
• Size 3: 170-183 cm / 5' 7" - 6'
• Size 4: 183-198 cm / 6' - 6' 6"

All materials used are high-quality polyester and nylon webbing, YKK zippers and Berghaus buckles.

These are not military surplus pieces but new stuff, directly from Berghaus. Nowadays Berghaus makes their products somewhere in the Far East just like many big companies. However, they have a very high quality control ensuring that their products are still fit for war.
