Rucksack
A lill small for holding a computer or books but came as advertised. Cool larp. Ordered for a friend.
Worth the money very cool piece of East German history 10/10
Great pack, very satisfied with it overall. Sturdy design with the suspenders and works well with my ALICE Lc-2 belt. I was a little disappointed it didn't include the green waterproof lining, but this is an easy fix by just putting a plastic bag inside before you go hiking or anything.
Made super sick bike panniers on my Enduro. 11/10.
Bought 3 of them to make roadside emergency kits for Christmas, the quality of these rucksacks are fantastic. Shipped quick, came packed accordingly, great job from Americana Pipedream.
My question is why is there a sticker that says " WARNING: Cancer & Reproductive harm"?
Love it great range bag
I bought one of these to use as a range bag. As small as it looks, it actually hold a ton of stuff. And with the tie down i have my spotting scope and tripod strapped to the top. Totally worth the $20!
Fantastic adaptable everyday pack with very strange hardware. I love it. It's a semi-rigid waterproof back satchel with a great camo pattern, rubberized internals, and a small, practical silhouette. The buckles and backstrap connectors are strange. The buckles are toothed pinching buckles and the straps connect with a carabiner set on top and weird upside down hooks on the bottom. Not too bad but they also are literally a set of suspenders, with belt fastening straps hanging off. Probably gonna snip em off, dunno. The straps are also riveted and hand-peened at various points. Overall very nice, but has the military stitching issue basically everything surplus has. (Sloppy, frayed, etc)
A little rust and a pretty dirty when it came in, needed a bath and some more.
V Cool backpack. Wife says : ” better than Gucci” two thumbs up.
Smells like a Bosnian household.
arrived really fast and in good condition
🥰🥰🥰
Everything came in as expected
Very satisfied
Pretty small, no idea of any practical use based on its size and how its mounted, but I only bought it for the range larp so idc. Has that incredible strichtarn smell 10/10
Americana Pipe Dream is awesome! Great products and fast shipping. I’m putting together an East German Army uniform. They had a couple of pieces I needed at a great price.
Best backpack I've ever had!
Just got it as a birthday gift for my buddy.
It’s honestly really cool! My bud is very excited to bring it camping and airsofting!
Great backpack and VERY fast shipping.
The strichtarn rucksack is nice. The added suspenders are cool too.
Love the backpack! Although the harness is quite cumbersome to the point I replace the straps it's still great for hunting.
It seems that it is a good product--BUT the smell is awful.. Everyone in my home Sunday evening---said get it out of here. My daughter would npot allow her son to take it home. What do I do to remove the smell???
Fun rucksack to have. I could use it to carry around little things or maybe use it as a bag for a bike
I received mine and it looks unissued no rust on the metal, no tears on the ruck or bad spots, a minor blimish on the straps. Other than that looks like it rolled right off the factory.
Everything was great
Curious About Sizing?
Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.
Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.
Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.
Jacket & Shirt Sizing
In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.
To measure pit to pit, close up your shirt or jacket and measure from armpit to armpit.
This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:
14"-15" PtP = XXS
16-17" PtP = Extra Small
18"-19" PtP = Small
20-21" PtP = Medium
22-23" PtP = Large
24-25" PtP = Extra Large
26-27" PtP = XXL
28-29" PtP = 3XL
Pant Sizing
We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.
To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.
To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.
