SADF Nutria Brown Pattern 83 Rucksack

The South African Pattern 83 Rucksack, also known as the "Grootsak," is a tough and spacious backpack originally made for the South African Defence Force in the 1980s. Built to handle harsh environments, it features a strong, water-resistant Cordura nylon construction in a distinct Nutria brown color.  With a large main compartment and multiple external pockets, including four designed for 2-liter water bottles, it provides plenty of storage for extended outdoor use. Padded shoulder straps, a cushioned back panel, and an adjustable waist belt ensure comfort and balanced weight distribution, making it ideal for long treks.  Originally designed to work with the Pattern 83 Chest Rig and Battle Jacket, this rucksack is great for military gear collectors, campers, hikers, and anyone who needs a durable, reliable pack for rugged adventures.
