A fair-sized, about 30-liter daypack with the Czech Vz95 camouflage. A pleasantly straightforward solution, quite robust and comfortable to carry. Made mostly in the '90s so these are kinda vintage! This might be a one-off lot.
In the '90s, they totally redesigned the soldier's combat equipment and the local company ALP got a lucrative deal in manufacturing this new kit. With everything covered with PALS now, this slightly older gear is being phased out and it's suddenly available as surplus. For those in search of a reasonably priced, durable daypack, here's a good companion! Packs down pretty small and weighs relatively little, so it'll work as an emergency pack in your car or just as a daypack inside your rucksack.

Used military surplus
These have seen genuine use, but are intact and repaired where necessary. We cannot give a full guarantee for the waterproofness of the PU coating, but with a separate dry bag, you're well off. The overall shade of the camouflage print might vary just a bit depending on the manufacturing year.
