Waves of surplus Flecktarn uniforms have washed over surplus addicts, but the matching gear has been relatively scarce since the days stealing your neighbor’s "Cheaper than Dirt!" Catalogs. Now our crack team of cracked out Ivans has located a big bundie bundle of original 65L Flecktarn BW Bundeswehr Backpacks.
This original Cordura masterpiece, sourced from nihilist sauerkraut enthusiasts themselves, is a 65-liter behemoth designed to haul everything a soldier needs into the field–you could even load up your Short King battle buddy in this thing and start Yodamaxxing.
Featuring iconic Flecktarn camo this backpack blends into European and North American woodlands like a cryptid. Perfect for hiking, camping, hunting, or hobomaxxing around your ex’s apartment building, it’s a piece of military history with the toughness to back it up.
Built with a Touch of the Tism
Crafted from durable Cordura nylon, this backpack is engineered by Germans to hold up even to us Americans. Featuring a rubberized interior that shrugs off rain like a trench coat, sturdy straps, and stout stitching, this sack is up for an incredible amount of battering.
Originally issued to German troops, it features a spacious main compartment, two side pockets, and a bottom zippered pocket—ideal for gear, mats, or a separate rain layer. The top has a large pocket and long straps for attaching a sleeping bag or fursuit. Weighing around four pounds, it’s sturdy yet lightweight for a pack this size. A sleeping mat slot allows you to stow your pad and add some structure with ease.
Designed for overnighters or multi-day treks, it’s a favorite among hikers and collectors. The Flecktarn pattern, adopted by the Bundeswehr in 1990, excels in temperate forests, and even performs well deep in the Russian jungles, according to our extensive MGS3 research.
Zie Amerikaner trainers told me if we bring our rucks full of bier they’ll introduce us to Alice and Molle!
