lol... love the woodland camo and the black MOLLE straps on it. Looks like the design of the pack was a bit rushed or maybe just experimental. Considering its size I'd guess it to be in the 80+ litre range, maybe a 100? As for the carrying system, it seems it is not adjustable to the height of the wearer? Bit of a downside. The hip belt reminds me of my old Bergans Powerframe 120l external frame pack. It too features plastic inserts which make the hip belt extremely stiff but also taking most of the packs weight off the shoulders. Nowadays I guess the military would rather roll with a less massive hip belt or a detachable hip belt as it probably interfers with other kit like protective equipment. This thing is a blast from the past 😀but certainly interesting and quite advanced for its time!
Hey from Serbia..On other review it says it is 1000D COrdura plus black nylon inside...is that true? can you confirm because on video looks a little bit "softy" for that fabrics..is it written somewhere ? all the best
@@LevelOneGoon could be but as i here in Serbia see things all the "older" stuff are the best one..first one made is the best..all later is ..welll later..so i think taht this cordura 1000D in that time can only be better

@@wladi7330 it may be, I couldn't honestly tell you, although 1000d Cordura after 20 years may be flimsy compared to new cordura
