Austrian Combat Pack with Shoulder Strap

Austrian Issue Combat Pack

This is a combat pack issued to the Austrian Army: a compact olive drab nylon bag built to carry a soldier's day-to-day kit on the shoulder or on the belt. A detachable shoulder strap makes it a ready messenger-style bag, and the webbing loop on the back lets it ride on a belt instead. It suits anyone who wants a simple, sturdy field bag, as well as collectors and reenactors building out Austrian kit.

Features

• Nylon Construction — The body is made from smooth nylon fabric, which is light, holds its shape and shrugs off light rain better than cotton canvas.
• OD Green Color — The pack comes in OD green (olive drab), the muted military green that blends with most field clothing and other issued gear.
• Buckled Flap Closure — A full-width top flap folds over the opening and is held down by three vertical webbing straps that cinch through metal buckles at the base.
• Detachable Shoulder Strap — The wide webbing strap clips to the top of the pack with metal snap hooks and adjusts for length through a metal slider.
• Rear Belt Loop — A broad horizontal webbing band across the back, closed with plastic clips at each end, lets you thread the pack onto a belt.
• Top Carry Handle — A short webbing loop at the top rear gives you a quick grab handle for lifting the pack or hanging it on a hook.
• Eyeleted Attachment Tabs — Two webbing tabs at the upper back carry metal eyelets and snaps, providing anchor points for the shoulder strap hardware.
• Wraparound Webbing Band — A webbing strap runs around the sides and lower body of the pack, adding structure and extra places to secure gear.
• Lower Rear Loops — Two webbing loops at the bottom of the back panel give you extra points to lash on or strap down a load.

Original Austrian Army Kit

This pack was made for and issued by the Austrian Army, so it is the genuine article rather than a commercial copy. The plain layout follows military logic: one main compartment, a weather flap, metal hardware on the load-bearing straps, and two carry options. Reenactors and collectors of Austrian gear get the right piece for the kit, and everyday users get a straightforward bag that was built for soldiers.
