- Camouflage pattern: wz.93 "Pantera" (Panther) — the standard camouflage of the Polish Armed Forces, in service since 1993

- Capacity: Approximately 70–80 liters (estimated; main compartment + side pouches — not an independently confirmed manufacturer spec)
A rugged, large-capacity field rucksack produced by Lubawa S.A. — one of Poland's principal military equipment manufacturers — in the country's standard wz.93 "Pantera" woodland camouflage. Built with a large main compartment, internal structural stays, and two substantial detachable side sustainment pockets, this rucksack was designed to carry significant field loads with flexible, modular storage.
Features:
- Large main compartment with top lid compartment closure
- 2x large side sustainment pockets with independent closures
- 1x front utility pocket
- Internal structural stays rather than an external metal frame — pack evenly for comfortable weight distribution
- Fully adjustable padded shoulder straps
- Quick-release polymer tension buckles and heavy-duty nylon compression straps
- Large waist strap with buckle for stability & comfort
- Heavy-duty, water-resistant nylon construction
- Manufacturer tag intact: "Zakłady Konfekcji Technicznej 'Lubawa' S.A., 14-260 Lubawa, Made in Poland"
Ideal for: militaria collectors, Polish camouflage/uniform collectors, and reenactors, or as a genuinely rugged field/bushcraft pack for those who want real mil-spec surplus over commercial gear.
Surplus Storage Notice: As genuine foreign military surplus, this item was treated for long-term warehouse storage and may carry a distinct "surplus" smell. This typically dissipates quickly after airing out outdoors or hand washing.
Note on rarity/identification: This rucksack's design differs from the commonly available basic single-compartment "M93" Polish surplus rucksack most dealers sell — this appears to be a less common Lubawa-manufactured model. We were unable to confirm the exact official model name, capacity spec, or Polish military stock number for this specific rucksack.
