The jungle pack was issued extensively in the Pacific and CBI Theaters, and saw some use in the ETO as well.
Are there any differences between this reproduction and an original M1943 Jungle Pack?
The reproduction features longer shoulder straps than the original design, which allows for easier wear. Some packs are missing two buckles on the front compared to original examples. The loops for bayonet and shovel hangers are positioned slightly lower on this reproduction.
What material is the pack made from?
The pack is constructed from heavy canvas. This material contributes to its sturdy and durable build. The canvas is in OD7 colour.
How do the shoulder straps fit?
The shoulder straps are longer than those on original packs, which makes the pack more wearable. However, for individuals of average WWII GI height, the straps may be too long even when adjusted to their shortest length. The extra strap length can be trimmed if desired.
Is the pack durable for field use?
The pack is made with heavy canvas and sturdy construction, indicating good durability. It is designed to be used in the field. The quality is such that it can be packed for years of use.
