I was issued this piece of kit in the Royal Guards in April 2008. Quite good stuff! I recall that as a recruit in those late spring and early summer months, I had a hard time seeing the point in such a large pack, as I never used any cold weather or rain clothing. I suppose the guys who started in December had a different experience though!

I like the design of the Bergen. it's a bit like the Alice packs the US army used to carry. I have 2 of the medium size and one large size. they are old but still work very well. thank you for showing the Danish one. very nice.

For a long time in the 70's & 80's Danish kit was like hen's teeth - they destroyed all surplus/returned kit to prevent it being used by eastern bloc infiltrators.
