Description

Belgian canvas rucksack, simple as. This handy pack's design was copied from the French and originates from the early 60's, when Belgium's colonisation of the Congo went kaput. Later in the 70's, these packs were made with PVC type material. As these packs are rugged canvas but still moisture friendly, they have encountered some storage damage, including corrosion and mould. A good clean up should fix most of these bag's issues though there may be problems with the snap domes where corrosion has attacked especially hard.

The pack consists of a main pocket with interior pocket to the back panel, two generous outer side pockets and one pocket to the back exterior panel. The shoulder straps are adjustable, along with the lid closing straps. Underneath, two luggage straps can be used to carry sleeping gear or extra items. If you're after a sturdy canvas pack with a bit of history (and don't mind giving them a little clean up), grab one of these Belgian rucks.

Features:

  • Genuine Belgian Army surplus 
  • Rugged canvas construction
  • Adjustable shoulder straps
  • Large main compartment with strap fastening
  • Two side pouches 
  • Internal & external back pockets
  • Strapping to the bottom for attaching additional gear

*Note* These bags may have marks or damage from storage, such as mould and corrosion which may lead to some snap domes failing. Colour varies (see image 5). Few may have writing or small holes (these should be off the main faces of the bag and not cause problems) - See last image for and example of condition

    Practically new

    Had the later vinyl version but wanted a canvas one. Excellent price, fast and reasonable shipping from NZ. I don't think this rucksack was ever issued. Excellent value for the money.

    Mark down for comfort below due to its old school design, no padding on straps, etc but it functions as it should.

    LOOKS GOOD, smells disgusting

    the bag is exactly as photographed however the smell of damp and mold is overwhelming. We requested a refund which was accepted except we have to pay the postage for an item not fit for sale. Totally understand 2nd hand and from a surplus store but the smell is so bad its wrapped in the shipping bag and we have had to leave it outside. No amount of washing or deodorising will get the smell out. I couldn't possibly gift it as intended.

    Great bag

    Great bag for a middle size. Comfortable and feels strong enough to take weight.
