Description
*Note* These bags may vary in colour due to heavy use or dirt build up. Some may have unit identification paint - see 7th photo for an example. Also available are packs with no side pouches, see last two images for an example
The British army infantry used these PLCE (Personal Load Carrying Equipment) packs, or bergans, as their main source for carrying equipment. They were put to great use, until they were replaced by the current British systems. Although these packs have seen their fair share of combat and my be a bit faded, they still function fantastically. Tough and sturdy are understatements when referring to this bit of gear.
If you plan on going hiking, then this bag would be a great companion. Large enough to hold all your travelling, cooking and eating utensils. It won't loose its form either, as it has a sturdy, internal frame. As the Short version is designed for people under 173cm tall, the Long is for those 173cm+ in height. This will also make a great bag for hunters, as it's packed to the brim with useful pockets and features. The main section will fit your weapons and hunting accessories, while the pouches store any other food or equipment you have.
