Dutch 3-Day Assault Pack, Coyote Tan, surplus
We got another batch of the classic 3-Day Assault Pack made for the Dutch armed forces. This type of backpack has been issued to various special forces for a long enough time that the design can be considered historical. Still a very fine backpack for anything you need.
- We don't know when this product will be restocked. With surplus the restock date is unknown due to sometimes poor availability. Request restock notification and we will email you as soon as this product is available.

Features
The main compartment has a 2-way zipper and a compartment with hanging loops for a hydration bladder. A passage for the drinking tube is concealed under the carry handle.
The secondary compartment has a significant volume to it and also features a 2-way zipper. It is unaffected by compression straps, which makes the contents more quickly available.
Finally, there's a third pocket with a slant opening and a regular zipper for small stuff. The pocket extends all the way up so it's not really tiny.
Other features include:
- PALS-webbing for expanding and customizing
- Compression straps to make the pack small (doubles as a fail-safe of the main zipper)
- Ice axe / accessory loops at the bottom
- Sleeping pad straps
- Hook-and-loop bases for a name tag and 3" flag patch
- Padded and ventilated back and shoulder straps
Specs
- Total volume: 35 litres (2135 cu in)
- Outer measurements: 48 x 37 x 18 cm (20" x 14.5" x 7")
- Weight: 1.2 kg (2.65 lbs)
- Material: PU-coated nylon, 280 g/m2

Dutch army surplus
As the model has a long service life and the manufacturing is high-quality (typically by Arwe), you can't get into trouble with these packs due to the product itself. These were made for serious business and you can expect these to outlast anything you could buy new for this price point or a notch or two above.
Used, but serviceable condition. You might want to wash these before use. Sternum straps and waist belts may be missing. Luckily these can be replaced easily without sewing, using standard webbing and buckles.
P.S. The availability is uncertain, act now!

Mine has seen a fair bit of abuse, including use as a cushion on stag duty, and has held up nicely.
Update: While the above is still true, there is a slight snag; The shoulder straps are really wide. On occasions where you swing your arms a lot e.g. loaded marches, this can cause chafing around the shoulders. Still, it's a steal at £44; The Camelbak daysacks used by a lot of soldiers are around the £150 mark.

Parempi, lantioremmi löytyi, vetoketjut ehjät ja kohtuu siisti yksilö. Yksi kompressiohihna poikki mutta korjattu ompelemalla (kiitos vaimo) pari paikkaa ja pienempää ruhjetta löytyy mutta käytetystä kyse joten niihin en puutu. Hyvä ja tukeva selässä ja tilaa omiin tarpeisiin riittävästi. Nyt uskaltaa suositella. Yksilö valmistettu 2019 joten selittää kohtuullisen kunnon.
Päivitys: Hyvä kantaa, on kuin paita päällä. Mikään paikka ei rasitu eikä repun asentoa tarvitse korjailla reissun aikana.

It has 11 L more carrying capacity, larger surface area (more webbing), four compression straps instead of two, sleeping mat straps underneath (I recommend rolling and taping up when not in use so they are not tickling your rear end as you walk), lockable main compartment zippers (nice for travelling), plus it's nearly half the cost; the only downside is that the secondary compartment doesn't have additional pockets on the inside, but that can be remedied with external pouches! I know it's like comparing apples to oranges, but I seriously think this pack also beats 5.11's 3-day equivalent, especially considering price. This is a high quality pack made with rugged materials, plus it's surplus! Who doesn't love army surplus?
For those interested, there is one ID tag that reads: "DAYPACK, 35 LITER, COYOTE TAN NSN 8465-17-123-0411 SAMENSTELLING [COMPOSITION]: POLYAMIDE GECOAT PU"

I made a Lucky pick with this one beside a loose thread and the mandatory mil-surp smell there was nothing to complain about. Best price-performance ratio i ever had for a Backpack
