I am hopeing to pick up an original used surplus german one in flecktarn. I just don't see how repros, or commercial versions are better than original german military.....

"What sick, barbaric bastards.
It's one thing to use terrorism to make a political statement, but the wanton mutilation and suffering of innocents? How does that forward your political goals? When done in the name of religion, how does that earn you brownie points with God?
Fuck religious extremism. And especially fuck the "religion of peace." "
So, lagcsocialist supports terrorism AS LONG AS ITS FOR POLITICAL ENDS....
Bringing this back to life to say that I used this flectarn german military surplus 65l pack last july in Utah in Deaths Hollow......and it sucked. All the weight was on my shoulders, none on my waiste of lower back. ALL of it on my shoulders. Sold it off, tried a marine corp surplus ILBE, have ended up GOING WITH THE molle II. Really think the MOLLE II will be better, as it has more hip and waist support.
Just do not recommend one of the above german bags. Aparently german men are all like arnold, and I must just be weak. Because I like NOT HAVING SHOULDER PAIN ON A HIKE......

We found out what "dealing" with progressive lefties is all about. Our side gives up something, they give up nothing and the progressives come back in a month or a year and want us to give up more... rinse and repeat...
I missed this thread, otherwise I would have told you they don't have much of a waistbelt. Certainly not one that will bear a load. Better to go with a commercial pack since they are built for comfort.
Telling the truth is treason in an empire of lies.

I have one similar to that. Don't know if mine is a milsurp or not but it held-up to a BoyScout 100mile trek at Philmont = up and down the mountains with 50+ pounds of gear the whole time. The one thing that did go wrong were the fasteners for the shoulder straps - which got a lot of abuse. I simply replaced them with some replacement US milsurp fastex fasteners and I'm still using it.
Now, I will say that for the same or even less money, you can get an ILBE Marin pack - MARPAT camo. Just go to ebay and do a search for ILBE Marine Pack and you'll get all kinds of them. I have one of these too and it's excellent. Be sure to get one with the top pack included - as well as the waste strap gear.
