    Help Identifying Backpack.

    Hi all. I need help identifying a backpack, I was told it was NZ army issue. I can't find any labels so could anyone with military background and/or knowledge identify this pack for me? Thanks.
    The straps and webbing used to be tan, I made an attempt at dyeing all tan areas of the pack green but only the straps and webbing took the dye.

    Not really helpful but first glance says it doesn’t look military issue. Could be wrong but jut something about the look doesn’t stack up.

    I doubt its some civilian knockoff just from how its made but it may be military issue from another country

    I would say that's the case. It dosen't look like any NZ Army issue pack. They don't look that comfortable lol.

    It looks like one of the civilian packs you could get from the army store on camp. made by Nikko outdoors. mine has nikko embossed on the clips and also has nikko stitched into the top flap

    I showed it to a guy at work, he reckons it isn't ex army. Material is too thin.
