This original Romanian Army rucksack in blue is a genuine Cold War military surplus pack. Cold War Heritage This original Romanian Army rucksack was issued during the Cold War to the Gărzile Patriotice (Patriotic Guards), a Romanian paramilitary force established in 1968. Unlike standard olive green infantry gear, this pack features a distinct deep blue cotton canvas. This unique colour was specifically selected for civil defence and rear-guard security units during the communist era. Utility & Construction Built to survive demanding military use, the pack is made from heavy-duty cotton canvas with robust vegetable-tanned leather shoulder straps. All major stress points are reinforced with heavy stitching and leather patches. It features a spacious main compartment with a secure drawstring closure under the protective top lid to keep your gear dry and safe in the field. Field Rigging & Capacity With an approximate 30-litre capacity, this pack is highly versatile. The exterior features built-in blue webbing straps designed to lash down a steel helmet, blanket, or shelter half. A dedicated side pocket provides quick access to water bottles or tools. It is an exceptional choice for bushcraft, weekend camping, or vintage everyday wear. Add this rugged piece of Cold War surplus to your outdoor kit today.
