This is an original South African Army 70 Pattern Medium Pack in military surplus condition.
Military Service and Origin
Designed for the South African Defence Force during the Border War era, this pack was built as part of the modular Pattern 70 webbing system. Made with heavyweight cotton canvas and reinforced stitching, it was tailored for reliable load carrying in tough bush conditions.
Weather Protection and Storage
The main compartment features internal weather flaps secured with press-studs to protect gear from dust and rain. Integrated metal grommets at the base drain trapped moisture, while two fixed side pouches hold water bottles or essential kit.
Field Usability and Harness
Back-mounted adjustable shoulder straps and metal tension buckles let you wear it as a standalone daypack or attach it directly to webbing. It gives outdoorsmen and bushcrafters a dependable, straightforward option for carrying essential supplies.
Equip your outdoor kit with this genuine SADF Pattern 70 pack for reliable field storage.
This item was used by the Other Army during the Late Cold War (1961–1991) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.
Grade 1 represents solid, fully functional military surplus that has been deployed or issued but remains in great usable condition with plenty of life left.
- Functionality: 100% field-ready. All main zippers, press studs, drawstrings, and buckles work as intended with no critical faults.
- Fabric & Wear: Structurally sound with light cosmetic wear, minor abrasion, or subtle fading from normal military use and laundering.
- Markings & Personalisation: May feature soldier names, unit numbers, service markings, or light depot stamps written on tags or fabric.
- Repairs: May include neat, professional military-standard stitches or minor reinforcement patches that do not compromise gear integrity.
- Storage & Cleanliness: Gear is serviceable straight out of the box, though a standard initial wash or airing is recommended to clear typical military surplus storage scent and minor handling dust.
