British Patrol Backpack, 30 liters, Black, Surplus

The Brits have managed to outdo themselves with these backpacks. Real military equipment, colored black like the souls of tormented investment bankers!

Features

Apparently, it pays to take some features from civilian gear to military stuff - and this pack is a fine example of this! Ergonomically designed, easy to use, and comes with a volume of some 30 liters (1,800 in³). Just perfect for a day pack!

Black is a color you don't see too often in military surplus categories, but every now and then, we get lucky, as the British have a fondness for black stuff, whether it's clothes, combat gear, bags, or tea.

The pack is made from tough Cordura-type material or whatever, is black as sin, has a large flap, two side pockets, and a zippered stash at the bottom. The latter might be "de-activated" (cut open) though, gaining access to the main compartment from below. The main compartment's dimensions are about 27 x 45 x 15 cm (10.5" x 17.5" x 6"). On the outside, there is a mesh pocket, a carrying handle, and a place for an ID tag.

Condition

Used British military surplus but in perfectly serviceable condition.
