I recently paid $80 U.S. for a brand new, un issued German manufacturer Bundeswehr issue pack. Worth every penny. I did swap out the waist strap for a proper one by 5.11. I obtained my first some 20 years ago before I knew what it was. Starting to get dirty but still 100% in every other aspect.

I was able to get an original issue dated 2003 and was planning to use it as my hand carry bag in my overseas trips but covid 19 was not impressed so it remains in storage till the day. A tip. The Swiss Army issue M84 canteen and cup fits perfectly on the side pouches.

If you mind me asking, what mfg. is yours? I have one of these packs and I’m trying to determine if it’s a real Bundeswehr one or a fake. It has a sewn in tag with the NSN number and says Klein on it. Thanks for the M84 tip as well

I had a Chinese copy of this from MFH. I must say that the original is significantly more robust and of higher quality! I found an unused one manufactured in 1999 with all the original tags from the factory. Extremely primitive and simple in its design, which can be nice to have sometimes in contrast to my more tactical backpacks with MOLLE, zippers etc.

Yes Sir, there are a lot of copy cat types out there. They serve a purpose but in comparison they are not even close. I’ve seen originals filled with bricks and then thrown around on a the end of a land digger …. not som much as a blemish! Yes the MOLLE system for me is complicated and has the ability to break but … materials have progressed and so has design. Thank you for dropping by to SMR. Come back anytime Sir. Laurie

Hi there and thanks for dropping by! The pack is awesome and I have to say that the colour is a very sensible green. These newer versions just have the edge on the earlier canvas edition because they have saved on the weight without it costing any of the quality. WWW.ASMC.DE is where I bought mine. Recommend!

Hi Samo, I have done my enquiries and I can confirm that these “new type” packs are genuine issue. They are like a sort of Mk2 version. The earlier ones became very heavy when wet. The newer version has saved on weight whilst still remaining water resistant and I would suggest that you have done well to get one as they are drying up!

Hi there and thanks for joining in on MSR. Ive been told that the Miltec ones are ok but also the Brandit ones get fair reviews. However, i personally recommend one from ASMC.de An excellent example.

Is this made by MFH?

No … this particular one is made by the original manufacturer and comes direct from Germany hence the higher price. The MFH version is nowhere near as good and a bit crudely made. Brandit make a good copy. Slightly larger in size too so a good alternative if price is a factor. Thanks for dropping by to SMR.

Excellent review. Seems as though we need to go ASMC in Germany to get the real quality as there are very mixed reviews on the reproductions

@@harashigomari1690 dont get a repro...I did....was hassle after a few walks....constantly repairing it ...frayed on the strap after about 2 walks....got about 6-7 years out of it tho but I had to put a patch right round one of the straps to stop the constant fraying...then one day i just pulled on the strap and it came out....I didnt even have to pull too hard....I'm not sure what make it was but it's due to the weave or lack of it...just not woven tightly enough like the German ones. I am finding it hard though to even find a proper cotton BW one these days let alone the Cordura one! They are 70 euros on the AMSC site
