Dutch "Lowe Alpine Sting" Rucksack, w/o Side Pouches, DPM, Surplus

A modern, well-designed rucksack named after a famous musician for an unbeatable price - a Dutch army copy of the Lowe Alpine Sting (made by ARWY from Belgium). 60 liters of carrying capacity and an adjustable back length. Modern stuff through and through.

Note: the sleeping bag & sleeping mat shown in the extra picture are not included.

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 shoddy gear could mean death or serious death.

Material and care

The material is water-resistant, IRR-compatible, and DPM-camouflaged 1000D Cordura. Brush any dirt off, use mild soap if necessary. The pack won't mind getting wet, of course, but don't try to stuff it into a washing machine.

Dutch Army Surplus

These have been used but are in a serviceable condition. The PU coating is often flaking off, the fabric is sometimes faded, and the rucksack, in general, may benefit from a wash.
