Dutch "Landmacht" Assault Pack

Dutch designed and Belgian built, this backpack is a proud collaboration between the Low Countries. It features a compact, snug fit that rides high on the back, created for soldiers who would carry a belt with additional equipment around their waist. This pack is also an interesting early example of printed webbing. The straps and webbing on the top and bottom are camo printed—way ahead of its time for a bag from the era of dark blue SWAT BDUs and solid color ALICE gear.

Designed for comfort, it also has padded shoulder straps that can be clipped across the sternum for better weight distribution, and includes two female belt buckles on the front straps and attachment points on the back so you can carry even more gear. It also comes reinforced with a foam insert to keep the back flat and firm (also protecting you from any sharp points on your gear). The foam pad also doubles as a seat!

Good for a two-day outing, this weekend bag can hold roughly 28 liters between the main pouch and two adjoining side pockets. The center compartment is also broken up into three sections by a divider, making it perfect for keeping your kit organized. There's even an easy-to-miss waterproof pocket inside the lid—a perfect spot for stowing away the essentials.

Sporting the always classic woodland camo, it's begging to spend some time in the wild. So while you may not be lucky enough to take a stroll through the tulip fields of the Netherlands, this pack will see you through a weekend hike through whatever picturesque scenic parks, trails, or landmarks are in your neck of the woods!
