Bundeswehr Combat Rucksack
This is a German Army combat rucksack in Flecktarn camouflage, built to carry a soldier's field load on foot. It packs from the top, with side pockets for the kit you reach for most and external straps for anything that will not fit inside. Campers, hunters, reenactors and collectors of Bundeswehr gear all carry it.
Features
- Flecktarn Camouflage — The German Army's dappled pattern of greens, browns and black, designed to break up the outline of the wearer in woodland.
- Nylon Construction — The body is made from nylon fabric, which stands up to abrasion and does not soak up water the way cotton canvas does.
- Top Flap Closure — A buckled top flap closes over the main compartment and keeps the load covered.
- Quick-Release Front Straps — Two vertical webbing straps with side-release buckles, the kind you squeeze to open, cinch the load down and hold extra gear against the front of the pack.
- Flapped Side Pockets — A side pocket on each flank closes under a flap with a strap and buckle, so smaller items stay separate from the main load.
- Lower Tie-Down Strap — A webbing strap and buckle across the base section gives you another point to secure gear.
- Padded Shoulder Straps — The shoulder straps are padded and adjustable to spread the weight of a full pack.
- Olive-Brown Webbing — Matching olive-brown webbing and dark buckles run throughout, in keeping with the pattern.
Genuine German Issue
This rucksack was issued by the German Army, the Bundeswehr, and built to its specification for field use. That build standard is the reason issued packs like this one are worth owning over a commercial camo bag. Collectors and reenactors also get the original Flecktarn pattern and hardware as the army fielded them. The canteen in the photograph shows scale and is not included.

seriously impressed with all the pocketsThe amount of storage is insane. All 8 compartments are actually usefull not just gimmick pockets like some packs ive had, and the lower sleep system pocket fits my 20 degree bag plus a bivy no problem. The rubberized liner is legit waterproof, tested it in a downpour last weekend and everything inside was bone dry. Shoulder straps are padded nice but they were kinda stiff the first couple days, broke in after about a week of use tho. The heavy nylon feels like itll survive anything, way better then those cheap repro packs you see on here, this is the real bundeswehr deal. Compression straps actually do their job stabilizing a full load which is nice. Only thing thats a little annoying is the lid pocket buckle can be stubborn with cold fingers but its honestly not a dealbreaker at all. Definately worth it if you want authentic military gear that holds up.
Real bundeswehr thats all that needs to be said.
Shoulder straps stiff out of the box
Lid buckle can be tricky with cold hands -
Holds everything for campingUsed it on a weekend camping trip stuffed my sleeping bag in the bottom compartment and still had room for clothes the rubber smell was kinda strong out of the box but faded after a few days love how sturdy it is
Huge storage space,Durable military-grade material
Strong rubber smell at first,Heavy when empty

Better Than My Old ALICE, No ContestI can tell you straight up this Bundeswehr Kampfrucksack is genuinely more comfortable on the back. The padded shoulder straps actually distribute load without cutting into your shoulders after mile three, and the rubberized inner lining kept my sleep system dry when I crossed a creek on a three-day field problem in the Smoky Mountains last fall. The Flecktarn five-color pattern is surprisingly effective in mixed deciduous terrain, way more broken up than M81 woodland at distance. Mine arrived in what I'd call Grade A condition some light braiding on the excess buckle straps from the previous Bundeswehr soldier, but the nylon shell has zero abrasion damage and the quick-release buckles snap tight with zero play. Only real gripe is the two side flank pockets, while solid, are noticeably smaller than ALICE side pouches you can fit a 1-quart canteen in each but that's about it. Not a dealbreaker for me, but if you're used to ALICE's cavernous side pockets you'll notice the difference. For the price this thing is beating any new commercial ruck at twice the cost.
Far more comfortable than ALICE thanks to padded shoulder straps and back pane
Side flank pockets noticeably smaller than ALICE pack pockets

Looks IncredibleI've always been a fan of the German Flecktarn pattern and this rucksack does not disappoint in person. The camouflage looks amazing and blends beautifully in wooded environments, which makes sense since it was designed for German soldiers operating in European forests.
Real Surplus.

Just receivedThis pack is great. It's much bigger than I thought it would be, which is a nice bonus. I haven't used it yet, but I did put a sleeping bag in it (patrol) and there is plenty of room for everything else I take when overnight.
real army, cool camo
