Military Issue Specification
Built for the British Infantry under the PLCE system, this rucksack is designed for multi-day field operations. It has an official NATO Stock Number of 8465-99-978-9220 and offers genuine frontline service durability. Issued in Grade 1 condition, it is lightly used and fully functional.
Load Capacity and Fabric
The main compartment provides an 80-litre load volume, expandable with standard zip-on PLCE rocket pouches. It is made from tough 1000D Cordura nylon with a water-resistant polyurethane coating and IRR treatment. An integrated snow collar with a toggle cord seals the contents against heavy downpours.
Long Back Ergonomic Frame
Tailored for users 5ft 10in and taller, the Long Convoluted Back features thick foam padding and a removable internal aluminium frame. This structure transfers heavy rucking loads directly to your hips and lumbar belt, reducing strain across your shoulders on demanding journeys.
