Description
Genuine military backpack made from sturdy heavy duty canvas in army green shade. The leather shoulder straps are adjustable and wider on the shoulder for comfortable wearing. The bag is quite big and can hold a lot of your stuff in it, it also has a leather belt and a fabric pocket on one side where you can carry a big water bottle, a tripod or a paper storage tube for example. It closes with a cord on the inside and fastens with a leather strap with metallic buckle on the outside. It has a lot of small leather loops all over, on this loops the military equipment like helmet and tent were attached.This type of military backpack was typically used in the Communist era by the Romanian army. My father still remembers them from the time when he had to do his military duty on the Black Sea Coast.
The authentic Romanian Army backpack is ideal for daily outdoor or urban use. The rucksack is very versatile, unisex and just looks fabulous fashionable for its age. The backpack is just cool and would make a perfect gift for him, for the traveler, for the person who loves hiking, camping and fishing.
