MFH German Army Mountain Bergen 80L Flecktarn Review

This sturdy top loading bergen features 5 separate compartments including 2 detachable side pockets, 1 main flap covered compartment and a large zip fastening pocket inside the top flap, secured onto the pack with 2 quick release buckles, that can be used to store documents, accessories and other quick access essentials. The main compartment with a capacity of 80 liters has an integrated compression bag closed with a drawstring at both top and bottom. It also has an additional capacity in an integrated bottom compartment with its own zipper access. This section can be used as a ‘false-bottom’ compartment itself for the carrying of items required for easy access. It is worth adding that 2 detachable side pockets open with their own zippers and when detached, they can be zipped into each other to make an emergency pack or a daypack. What is more the bergen gives a possibility to attached additional equipment through 2 external adjustable quick release attachment points on the top flap, 2 external buckle fastening adjustable attachment points at rear of the top flap and a number of straps and attachment points at base and front. The bergen has a specially shaped contoured and fully adjustable VARIO Back System. Padded shoulder straps are adjustable on the top of the shoulder and under the arm, and are fitted with additional D-rings and a chest tensioner. An extra wide quick release hip belt is also shaped to the contour of the lower back and hips. All this provides an excellent comfort and weight spread for heavy loads. The internal U frame can be removed if required. The bergen offers a great amount of carrying space and is perfect for military as well as camping and hiking.
