Don't leave base camp without this handy-dandy French F1 Backpack. Made of a tough rubberized material, with canvas straps. Has a full length top flap that covers the whole top of the pack as well as 2 outside pockets, an additional front pouch, a separate inner compartment and a rear pouch as well. Measures 18" x 16".
These issued packs were produced by the MAFCA Equipment Company in Chateaudun, central France, and mostly date to the 1980s. Many of the bags are stamped with these details on the reverse of the lid of the back pocket.
These bags have been issued, and so some wear is to be expected, as well as some variation in shade. Some buckles are rusted, and the bags themselves are also marked in places. They are however all well made - French Army quality.
