Austrian Army Hiking Pack - 50L

These packs from the Austrian Army were part of an effort to modernise the Austrian army's KAZ03 equipment. The intent with all the original parts was to have a pack to wear over and integrate with your webbing. If a soldier came under contact while on the march, he could quickly hit the release dropping his pack and take the fight to the enemy. Although some of these parts are missing, these still make a fantastic stand alone pack for the avid hunter or hiker. Made of hard wearing nylon and with an internal rubberized lining (somewhat perished in the latest batch), these will take all the knocks you can give it and keep its contents dry. The rubberised lining can be perishing & peeling after years in storage, it may be a bit sticky in there.
