Berghaus Tactical Pugio 42 Backpack – Coyote Tan
Description
Berghaus Tactical Pugio 42 Backpack – Coyote Tan
Berghaus Tactical Pugio 42 is a structured 42-litre pack for professional, tactical and demanding outdoor use. Padded walls and an internal nylon frame give the main compartment a box-shaped form that remains open and accessible when unzipped, making it easier to organise and retrieve equipment.
Internal hook-and-loop panels accept compatible organiser pouches, while the wide shoulder harness, padded back panel and stowable hip belt support stable load carrying. The backpack is made from durable 500D polyamide double-ripstop fabric and supplied in Coyote Tan.

Structured Main Compartment
The padded walls and nylon frame help the backpack retain its shape when opened. This gives the user a clearer view of the contents and prevents the compartment from collapsing while compatible organiser pouches are being arranged.
Hook-and-loop surfaces line the interior walls, allowing equipment pouches to be positioned according to the task. This modular layout is useful for separating tools, communications equipment, first-aid supplies, electronics or personal items.
Internal organiser pouches and the optional Pugio 2 Hip Belt accessory are not included unless specifically stated by the retailer.
Carrying System and Stowable Hip Belt
The broad shoulder harness is designed to sit closely around the upper body, distributing pressure over a larger area. A padded back panel, elasticated sternum strap and internal frame help stabilise the load during movement.
The included hip belt uses a Berghaus Berg buckle and can transfer part of the load towards the hips. When it is not required, the belt can be tucked into a storage garage at the bottom of the back panel instead of hanging loosely from the sides.
External and Secondary Storage
A lid compartment and two side pockets provide separate storage outside the main load area. The front zipped pocket includes internal organisation for smaller items that need to remain easy to reach.
An elastic cord on the front can retain lightweight equipment such as gloves or a compact outer layer. Compression straps help reduce unused volume and limit movement of the contents. External items must be secured so that they cannot snag, fall out or unbalance the pack.
500D Double-Ripstop Polyamide
The backpack is made from 500D polyamide double ripstop. Reinforcement threads woven in two directions help limit the spread of small tears, while the 500-denier construction provides a practical balance between durability and weight.
No waterproof rating is specified. The pack should therefore be treated as weather resistant rather than waterproof, and moisture-sensitive equipment should be protected with waterproof inner bags or a suitable rain cover.
Recommended Uses
- Military and law-enforcement equipment carriage
