Swiss Alpenflage Rucksack
This is the Swiss Army M70 rucksack, a compact field pack with a central compartment flanked by two side pouches, fitted with olive webbing shoulder straps so it carries as a standalone backpack. It is printed in Alpenflage, the Swiss alpine camouflage with its red, green, brown and tan pattern. It suits a day pack for the woods, a reenactor's Cold War Swiss impression, or a collection of European issue kit.
Features
- Alpenflage Camouflage — The Swiss Army's alpine pattern mixes red, green, dark brown and black shapes with white flecks over a tan base.
- Cotton Twill Shell — The body is a tightly woven twill fabric, with diagonal ribs you can see in the weave, that holds its shape with a load inside.
- Central Main Compartment — A deep center section closes under a fold-over flap secured with a metal snap stud.
- Two Side Pouches — Tall compartments on either side close with gathered tops, giving separate space for a bottle, rations or small kit.
- Webbing Shoulder Straps — Olive drab woven cotton straps attach to the back through stitched fabric tabs with pointed reinforcing flaps.
- Grommeted Strap Ends — Metal eyelets reinforce the lower strap ends, which join at an olive plastic clip at the base of the pack.
- Fabric Grab Handle — A sewn camouflage loop on the front of the main compartment lets you lift or hang the pack.
- Reinforced Base Panel — A separate band of fabric is stitched around the bottom of each compartment where the pack takes the most contact with the ground.
Swiss Army Issue
This rucksack was originally issued to the Swiss Army, not made for the civilian market, and it carries the same Alpenflage print found on Swiss field uniforms of the era. The listed materials are cotton and polyester, with a cotton twill body and olive woven webbing on the harness. For collectors and reenactors, issued Swiss gear in this pattern pairs directly with Alpenflage jackets and trousers from the same service.

Tough old school pack, crazy cheapGot this for a camping trip last month and stuffed it with way more than I should have, probably 35 pounds of gear, and it held up fine. The canvas on this thing is THICK, like real old military gear, not the flimsy nylon stuff you get now. Straps are leather and take a while to break in but once they do its fine. Only issue is theres no frame so if you overload it your shoulders ache by the end of the day. It also soaks up rain, no cover or anything. Still for the price I dont think you can beat it.
Holds a ton of gear
Heavy canvas that wont ripNo frame so it gets heavy on your shoulders,Not waterproof

Perfect!This rucksack arrived in like-new condition with just one expertly repaired stitch that's barely noticeable true Swiss craftsmanship! Unlike some surplus gear, there's no weird odors either. I'm currently using it as my secondary range bag to carry extra ammo. Despite its compact size, it swallows up an impressive amount of gear. Perfect for keeping all my range essentials organized

NiceBought one if these a few years ago for hikeing and weekend camping trips. vary nice vary durable holds about 3 days worth of clothes with room to spare for a little more. Large side pockets are deep enough to store a mess kit and canteen.

Decent but could be betterA good rucksack in all, especially for the price. The only problem is that the straps are not necessarily the best thought out for all body types.
