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. These are current-issue army rucksacks with a pretty much direct lineage to the Lowe Alpine original, just made for the Dutch armed forces. It's a medium-sized ruck that carries a few days' gear for the woods or a few weeks' stuff for urban environments.
Modern design
The bag
- Total volume 60 + 20 liters (4882 cu in)
- A large undivided main compartment, save for two low profile pockets
- Weather sock on the mouth
- Removable side pouches,10 l each (610 cu in)
- 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)
Compression straps on the sides, hidden behind the side pouches. When you remove the pouches, the 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 63 x 80 x 35 cm (25" x 31.5" x 14")
- Main compartment size roughly 35 x 60 x 25 cm (14" x 23.5" x 10")
- Side pouch dimensions about 20 x 35 x 12 cm (8" x 14" x 4.5")
- Weight roughly 3 kg (6.6 lb)
Material and care
The material is water-resistant, IRR treated DPM camouflaged Cordura equivalent. 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 is a little list of notable things:
- The frame might require some re-shaping (use your 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.
- Most things are easily repaired!

Jos etsit todella monipuolista rinkkaa, joka taipuu viikon metsäkeikkoihin tai miksei lyhyemmillekin reissuille, niin tilaa heti!

Parin viikon vaelluskamat mahtuu tämän no-bullshit monsterin sisään kevyesti.
Kookkauden lisäksi rinkka on myös kestävä ja mukava selässä. Ei voi muuta sanoa ku hattua nostaa!
