Berghaus

Berghaus – robust backpacks for Bundeswehr, outdoor & everyday use

Berghaus is a long-established brand that has been known for high-quality outdoor equipment and especially its backpack since 1966. Founded in Newcastle upon Tyne by Peter Lockey and Gordon Davison, the brand has become particularly established in the military sector, especially with the Bundeswehr.

Today the Berghaus backpack is a standard item in the Bundeswehr and is used by special forces worldwide.

The Berghaus backpack – functionality, ruggedness & versatility

The backpack from Berghaus impresses with hard-wearing materials, a well-thought-out compartment layout and comfortable carrying systems.

Bestsellers such as the Crusader MMPS III FA or the compact Munro II 35 L are not only used in military operations, but are also suitable for outdoor activities, day trips and hikes.

In addition, Berghaus also offers models with a volume of 80 to 100 liters, which provide sufficient space for longer trekking tours and demanding adventures.

A backpack for duty, outdoor & trekking

Depending on volume and features, a Berghaus backpack can be used flexibly. Smaller models are ideal as a daypack for hiking, while larger versions offer enough storage space for multi-day tours, outdoor adventures or expeditions.

Thanks to their robust construction and weather-resistant materials, many models are also suitable as a waterproof backpack for demanding conditions – both in the field and for everyday use.

Why is Berghaus used by the Bundeswehr?

Berghaus backpacks are particularly popular with the Bundeswehr and special forces because they:

• robust enough for tough use in the field
• to distribute weight efficiently and relieve the back
• Provide space for tactical equipment, rations and gear
• can be used flexibly – from daily duty to special missions

Bestsellers like the Crusader MMPS III have proven themselves as reliable companions under extreme operational conditions. In addition, some models feature integrated IR technology, which reduces visibility through night-vision devices – a clear advantage in tactical operations and in Bundeswehr service.
