A fully modern, well-designed rucksack for an unbeatable price - a Dutch army copy of the Lowe Alpine Saracen ruck (made by ARWY). 100 + 20 = 120 litres / 7344 cu in. carrying capacity and adjustable back. Modern stuff through and through.
The Dutch are out of their mind to let stuff this good go. This kit is as good as they come, suitable for situations where poor quality items could mean serious failure.
Modern design
The bag
- Total volume 100 litres / 6120 cu in.
- A large main compartment, with two low profile pockets
- A bottom compartment divided from the main compartment with a drawcord sock
- Free floating lid with a pocket on top
- Weather sock on the mouth
- Removeable side pouches (10 l / 612 cu in. each)
- A huge amount of attachment points for extra stuff and PALS/MOLLE compatible stuff.
- An inside pocket for a standard hydration bladder (Source WXP will fit)
- Reinforced bottom
Compression straps on the sides, hidden behind the side pouches. When you remove the side pouches, the side zippers can be closed, making the pack extra slim. The side pouches can also be zipped together to form a daypack, but the straps for this are not included. The space between the rucksack and the side pouch is left open for carrying longer stuff.
Carrying
- Internal metal frame
- Padded shoulder straps with proper good adjustments
- Strap location can be adjusted according to user's size
- Sternum strap often included
- Padded hip belt with "Bergbuckle"
- Padded back
Dimensions
- Fully packed ruck measurements about 70 x 90 x 40 cm / (27.5" x 35.5" x 15.5")
- Main compartment size roughly 35 x 70 x 25 cm / (14" x 27.5" x 10")
- Side pouch dimensions about 20 x 35 x 12 cm / (8" x 14" x 4.5")
- Weight pretty exactly 4 kg / and a few grams / about 9 lbs.
Material and care
The material is water-resistant, IRR treated DPM camouflaged Cordura. military-grade stuff, very strong. As for care, brush the dirt off, use a mild soap if necessary. The pack won't mind getting wet of course but don't try to stuff it inside a washing machine.
Dutch army surplus
Used but in serviceable condition. The fabric may be faded and there's bound to be some signs of use, but all of the vital parts work. Below a little list of notable things:
- The frame might require some re-shaping (use hands)
- There might be extra general-purpose straps somewhere attached to the ruck, or not.
- The chest strap might be missing.
- Some random not-so-important bits may be damaged or something, we have no resources to meticulously check every tidbit of a pack this complex. By purchasing a used military rucksack for about a third of its actual as-new value, you just have to accept these things.
- Most things are easily repaired!

Yes, there are scuffs on the buckles from where it got slid into a truck or dragged across the floor by a previous owner. Yes, there are a couple of small mends here and there, but they were done professionally and are probably stronger than the original material. One small zipper on the lid needs to be replaced, but that's all of 15 minutes of work and a $3 zipper.
Absolutely worth the purchase if you're the type to actually use gear and not just take pictures of it to show off on the Internet.

Erittäin toimiva kokonaisuus.
Säätöjä löytyy jopa hämmennykseen asti. Varsinkin lantiovyön liukusoljet ihmetyttää, mutta kai niillekin oikea käyttötapa on. Bergbucklea ei minulla ollut, mutta se nyt ei haittaa. N. 30 kg testikokonaisuus oli hyvä kantaa ja tärkeimmät säädöt oli helppoa ja intuitiivista tehdä.
Irroitettavat sivutaskut on ihan 5/5. Alta paljastuu lisää PALSsia ja sivutaskutkin saa vaikka jonnekin muualle PALSsilla kiinni. (Kompressiohihnoja täälä ei ollut, mutta mahdollisuudet sille kyllä)
Rakkotaskuna en päälokeron pikkutaskua allekirjoita. Ainakaan 3 litran Source WXP ei omaani mahdu täytenä kunnolla, enkä löytänyt rakon letkulle läpivientiä, niin kansiläppään se oli käytännöllisempi heittää.
Alaosioon meni helposti Defence 4 ja Defence 6 sinne varmana kompressoituu myös. Alaosassa oli kolme kompressiohihnaa pistosoljilla ja uskon tämän olevan syynä sille, ettei hollantilaisessa makuupussin pussissa ole kuin pituussuunnan kompressio.
