Five Bucks for Genuine Swiss? Absurd.he Swiss M70 system is one of those really clever modular designs that doesn't get enough credit. The Swiss military basically created this rucksack as an integral part of the M70 combat uniform system, where the soldier could attach the pack directly to the field jacket using lashing straps, distributing weight across the torso instead of just hanging off the shoulders. It was designed for alpine troops operating in the Swiss mountains where balance and mobility mattered more than raw carrying capacity. Pretty forward-thinking stuff for a design that entered service in the early 1970s.The one I received is in solid surplus condition the Alpenflage pattern is still vibrant with good color contrast between the greens, browns, and those distinctive white/light grey rock pattern elements that make this camo so unique. The canvas material is heavy duty and the stitching is tight throughout. There's some light storage wear and a couple small scuffs on the bottom which is totally normal for surplus and honestly expected at this price. All three pockets are intact the large center button-closure compartment and both open side pouches and all the drain grommets at the bottom of each pocket are clear. The lashing straps and attachment hardware are all present and functional. At $4.95 on sale this is basically free. I've spent more on a coffee this morning. Even if you're not a collector this is worth grabbing just as a cool piece of genuine military gear. The Alpenflage pattern alone makes it a conversation piece.
Genuine Swiss military surplus with that unmistakable Alpenflage camouflage that's become iconic among collectors
Modular lashing strap system is intact and functional, can attach to M70 jacket or lash onto larger packsNot a standalone hiking pack in the modern sense — limited capacity and no padded shoulder straps, it was designed to integrate with the jacket system

I added it to my cart to get free shipping lol.The pack is well made, all the snaps work, and its bigger than it looks in photos. For the price i paid i'm happy. I gotta get the matching M70 jacket now.
For 4.95 its one nice back.

Nice pack for light gearI use it to hold some extra supplies when I am out in the woods and it works fine. It is definitely not a modern backpack, but for the price, you really cant complain.
Amazing price
Very unique camo patternHard to use without the jacket

Swiss quality at its finestThe main compartment is spacious and the two side pouches hold plenty of extra gear. I especially love that it can attach to the M70 field jacket . That Swiss engineering really thought of everything. Great for hiking, hunting, or just everyday use.
Compatible with M70 field jacket
No backpack-style harness

Perfect for HikingThis Swiss M70 Rucksack is incredibly well made and the Alpenflage camo pattern looks amazing in person. The main compartment is spacious enough for everything I need on a day hike, and the rugged construction makes me confident this pack will last for years to come.
