Sturdy bushcraft backpack
The Bergen, inspired by military backpacks from World War II, holds 18 liters of gear. Similar yet smaller than the Matilda, it's made from abrasion-resistant Cordura 500D, making the Bergen a backpack designed for bushcraft.
Simple and durable solutions
The backpack features three external pockets – one in front and two on the sides – with drawstrings and flap closures secured by fastex-type buckles. Just above these is a single long row of MOLLE/PALS-compatible webbing, where you can attach gloves, and additional pockets, or cover it with a fabric flap if not needed. This allows the Bergen backpack to be customized to the user’s activity profile: maintaining a bushcraft look or emphasizing tactical features. There’s also a flat pocket on the flap above the main compartment for handy small items.
Functional interior and tool space
Underneath the flap is a drawstring and the main compartment’s chimney, designed to adjust the backpack's height depending on how full it is, also serving as a way to protect the contents from the weather. The main compartment is spacious and includes a designated space for a hydration bladder and a flat zippered pocket for safely carrying documents or valuable small items. Essential bushcraft tools can be carried beneath the external pockets: two pass-through (e.g., for an axe) and three non-pass-through (for a knife or folding saw). The reinforced bottom of the backpack has sewn-in straps for attaching a sleeping bag or jacket.
