Infantry Bergen as a GHB

[essgee23]

I was at an army surplus store last week, and they had a delivery of 1 single brand new 45 Ltr Infantry Bergen / Day Bag.

It was very nice indeed.

But £75 - which I dont have spare for a BOB or GHB for the car, it was too much.

Im looking arond on line - to no avail thus far.

Does any one have experience with this bag? Especially with extra MOLLE pockets etc that can be added - it just looks great, and felt so comfy

And anyone know where I can get one at more of a bargain price please...

Hope I dont regret not snapping this one up.

No dont want to be doing that, too many bad experiences there.

Agree with PM that black is better actually, more discreet, it'd likely be tucked in the car for a GHB so wouldnt make much difference.

Will keep searching around...

Hi, like you I was looking for a bergen, but the price was a bit much on ebay, in the end I got a medium alice pack with frame for £40, very very pleased with it, got it in the sales section of British Blades, worth a look as they often have this type of thing.

Hi, don't know if this site will be any good to you. It's a trade place they have a min order value but if you need enough kit, or there are a few of you who can club together it's worth a look I think. All the best. www.fieldtextiles.co.uk

Try armynnavy.com or becketts adventure. Just got a 60 litre other arms bergen for £16.99. Excellent condition and you can add side packs if you need more capacity. I think these are a greatly underated bit of kit.

Field Textiles run http://www.britishmilitarysurplus.co.uk and that site has no minimum order amount. I've bought a few bits and bobs from them, including an infantry bergen which was just 25 quid. It didn't come with the side pockets but it's still good value.
