Probably the most beloved of all Berghaus rucksacks, the Vulcan represents an older, military design - simple and robust. These are used military surplus.
Berghaus started their conquest of the military world during the Falklands War, when British troops needed 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.
We got a shipment of rucksacks with a modified internal aluminum frame. In this case, the top bar has been removed, leaving only the two vertical aluminum bars for support. This means that the rigidness is not as firm as with the whole frame intact (which may be a good or a bad thing depending on your preferences). So we’ve lowered the price a little. If needed, you can remedy the situation by adding a top horizontal bar yourself. Or by pulling the frame out altogether, as you can use the rucksack without the internal frame.
Hard data
- External measurements approx. 72 x 34 x 28 cm, excluding the side pouches.
- Roughly 100 liter capacity, but you can fit much more.
- Weight 3,10 kg (with frame).
- Upper main compartment, covered by a large flap which can be adjusted to accommodate even another rucksack under it.
- A internal divider, which can be opened or closed with a drawcord.
- Lower main compartment, closes with a strong zipper.
- Removeable side pouches, capacity 10 liters each.
- The side pouches can be attached to one another and carried separately (shoulder straps are likely not included). The side pouches are secured by two horizontal straps each, which can be used to compress the main compartment.
- A large pocket outside the main flap.
- Well padded, sturdy shoulder straps, adjustable in just about any direction.
- A stiffened, well padded waist belt with a sturdy plastic buckle, either of Berghaus' own design or the usual Fastex type.
Size info
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 1: 150-163 cm
- Size 2: 160-173 cm
- Size 3: 170-183 cm
- Size 4: 183-198 cm

Comparing it to my CTS ruck, it has the same hip belt and shoulder attachment location in terms of measurements. I'll have to stuff it with some kit to see just how much it can take. For $140 maple pesos this is an insane deal.
