French Army F2 Rucksack

The French Army F2 Rucksack is a medium sized day pack that is designed to meet the short-term deployment needs of French Army soldiers. Now that the French Army has sold them as surplus, they can be repurposed by civilians in the United States. The size, shape, and features of this F2 rucksack make it ideal for use by hikers, campers, and recreational target shooters. Since there are no camouflage patterns on the rucksack, this bag could also make a great backpack for kids that are in middle or high school.

Description / French Army F2 Rucksack

The French F2 Rucksack is a strong, compact, and functional rucksack that was previously used by the French Army. Soldiers in the French Army praised this medium sized rucksack for how well it performed, how much gear it can hold, and how comfortable it was on longer hikes or short deployments. With the main compartment, two side pockets, front and rear external pockets, you'll have plenty of space to hold your essential gear in the F2 rucksack.

Like all military rucksacks, the F2 Rucksack is packed with features that make it stand out from commercial backpacks. The first feature of note is the steps taken to make the F2 rucksack water resistant. Constructed from water resistant vinyl material, the French F2 rucksack will keep your gear dry while hiking in the rain. Further enhancements such as double layered covering for the main compartment will offer increased water resistance. Second feature to take notice of is the amount of space this compact rucksack offers, with a spacious interior main compartment, two side pockets, a rear pocket, and a front pocket that stays tight against your back while wearing the F2 rucksack. Add all of this together and take into account the comfort provided by the adjustable padded shoulder straps and you've got a first rate backpack at a bargain price.

Features:
  • Authentic French Army Rucksack
  • Olive Drab Green - No Camouflage or Unit Insignia
  • Large Interior Compartment with Double Buckle Closures
  • Exterior Side Pockets with Double Buckle Closures
  • Exterior Rear Pocket with Buckle Enclosure

    Great Bag and Excellent Value 0 people found this helpful

    Overall Rating

    I don't have much to add to the other positive reviews except to note that I was a little hesitant to order this due to the possibility that the waterproof or resistant vinyl material might prove to be cheap or weak. It is neither and the bag is very well constructed. I am very impressed with it. It's a good looking solid bag. I bought it thinking that for the price it might be worthwhile to purchase as a day bag or overnight bag given it's water resistant aspects (I live in coastal Oregon). I am now thinking about buying a couple more for use as small bug out or vehicle breakdown bags since the one I received is superior to what I am now using for this purpose. I also bought the Croatian bag, which, though also a good deal for the money, really doesn't compare with this one.

    Beware two models 0 people found this helpful

    Overall Rating

    I ordered two bags and received two bags that are not the same. One bag is just like the picture. The second is a different color, lighter green, and uses friction buckles instead of plastic quick release buckles.The second bag is slightly taller and in almost new condition. I like the bag in the picture better. Im a bit annoyed that in the description nothing is said about different models.Im slightly disappointed with the second bag, mainly due to the buckles.

    Overall Rating

    these french packs are built like tanks. They have all sorts of features constructed into them. They are meant to have a bed roll and likely an e tool and other gear fastened to it, and has straps and such for this. Also has extra pockets and a d ring to hand it. All stitching and materiel over built.

    Unlike the last two reviewers my rucksack was brand spanking new. You tell it has been sitting around for a few decades but it was brand new, still has the tag on it. Also the one I received is just like the one pictured with the plastic buckles not the old style metal. All in all it seems like a great buy
