This is a genuine Dutch Army Lowe Alpine Sting rucksack in classic woodland DPM camouflage.
Military Design & History
Designed by the legendary gear designers at Lowe Alpine and issued to the Dutch Armed Forces in the 1990s, this pack is built for heavy operational use. The shell is made of heavy-duty 1000D Cordura nylon, giving you incredible tear resistance against jagged branches or rocks. As a Grade 1 surplus piece, it might show minor storage dust but is fully functional.
Ergonomic Load Distribution
The pack features an advanced Adjustable Back System (APS) which uses sliding vertical tracks to align the shoulder harness with your exact torso length. Inside, dual aluminium frame stays transfer heavy cargo weight directly down to the padded, heavy-duty hip belt. This eliminates shoulder fatigue, keeping you comfortable during long bushcraft and hiking trips.
Modular Cargo Configuration
With a 60-litre main compartment, the pack offers ample space, complete with a drawstring snow collar to keep rain out. Heavy-duty side zippers are ready for standard zip-on rocket pouches to expand your capacity up to 80 litres. A matrix of PALS webbing on the front also lets you secure MOLLE-compatible pouches or lash down a sleeping mat.
Gear up with this genuine Dutch patrol pack and tackle your next multi-day trek with professional-grade carry comfort.
This item was used by the Dutch Army during the Post‑Cold War (1991–2000) 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.
