KitPimp Pathfinder MTP Bergen
UK NSN: 8465-99-847-4712
The KitPimp Pathfinder MTP Bergen is a fully tailored, field-ready rucksack designed for modern infantry. It combines durability, comfort, and organisation into a single system. Soldiers no longer need to modify issued kit because this bergen comes equipped with upgrades that are typically added at extra cost. Consequently, it is ready for immediate use straight out of the box.
In the field, the Pathfinder distributes weight efficiently and keeps equipment accessible. As a result, soldiers can focus on the mission rather than struggling with their rucksack.
Designed for Infantry
The Pathfinder MTP Bergen was built with British Army Infantry in mind. Therefore, it suits both light and mechanised roles. Its design ensures that the rucksack sits correctly above the belt and that weight is distributed evenly.
Furthermore, the bergen keeps equipment organised, which saves time and reduces frustration during operations. Efficiency has been prioritised, so soldiers can focus on the task at hand. Additionally, comfort has been maximised to reduce fatigue during long marches or extended load carriage.
150-Litre Capacity
The storage of gear has been optimised in this MTP Bergen. With a total capacity of 150 litres, every compartment has a purpose:
-
110L main compartment: Ideal for large clothing, tools, or operational essentials.
-
2 × 17L removable side pouches: Offer extra storage and can be detached for lighter loads.
-
3 × 4L front utility pouches: Allow quick access to smaller items, such as first aid kits or communications gear.
-
8L poncho/basha pouch: Protects weather gear while keeping it immediately accessible.
Consequently, soldiers can carry all necessary equipment without clutter, and the layout reduces time wasted searching for items in the field.
Comfort That Lasts
The Pathfinder MTP Bergen makes carrying heavy loads easier. The following features enhance comfort and reduce fatigue:
-
Padded S-shaped shoulder straps for stability and balanced weight.
-
Sternum strap to prevent shifting during movement.
-
Breathable mesh back system that allows airflow and keeps the back cooler.
-
Lumbar support pad that protects the lower back.
-
Internal aluminium frame to maintain posture and weight distribution.
-
Removable MOLLE waist belt for modular flexibility.
Additionally, two airflow channels run alongside the spine, which allows heat and moisture to escape. As a result, soldiers remain comfortable during extended tabs or long marches, maintaining performance in the field.
Smart Layout for Efficient Organisation
Organisation is critical in operations. The Pathfinder MTP Bergen includes multiple compartments that keep gear accessible:
Front Pockets
-
Triple utility pouch with storm hoods and side-release buckles.
-
Poncho/basha pouch with an internal peg pocket for small items.
Commander’s Floating Lid
-
Large external top pocket for essentials.
-
3-sided zip opening for visibility and easy access.
-
Internal mesh organiser pockets with elastic loops.
-
MOLLE panel for additional modular attachments.
Furthermore, a small patrol pack can be placed beneath the floating lid. As a result, soldiers can carry mission-specific gear without disrupting the main load.
Built Tough
Durability has been prioritised in the Pathfinder MTP Bergen. The rucksack uses 1000D MTP fabric, which resists wear, tear, and abrasion in harsh environments.
Other features that enhance durability include:
-
Side and bottom compression straps to secure the load tightly.
-
Removable side pouches for flexible configurations.
-
Shoulder straps with MOLLE attachments for additional kit.
-
Mesh storage pocket with drawstring closure.
-
Cats-eye luminous tab for low-light visibility.
Consequently, the bergen can handle challenging operational conditions without failure.
Why Choose the Pathfinder MTP Bergen
Many soldiers modify their issued kit for comfort or organisation. However, the Pathfinder already includes these upgrades.
It provides:
-
Comfortable load carriage, even when fully loaded.
-
Efficient organisation for both large and small items.
-
Reduced time spent searching for kit.
-
Elimination of expensive aftermarket tailoring.
Additionally, the ergonomic design ensures that weight is carried efficiently, posture is supported, and movement is unimpeded. As a result, soldiers can maintain operational readiness while reducing fatigue.
The True Rucksack of a Spartan
Spacious, durable, and ergonomically designed, the KitPimp Pathfinder MTP Bergen is ideal for infantry operators. It keeps gear organised, distributes weight effectively, and allows soldiers to move freely.
Once the Pathfinder has been used in the field, standard issued kit may feel restrictive in comparison. This bergen has set a new benchmark for tactical rucksacks by combining size, comfort, and organisation into a single, high-performance system.

Did a 6mile TAB with 25kg, pack was comfortable throughout and didn’t move too much when on a double march. It’s well designed for the ‘thinking soldier’ and tough. Really glad I purchased it.

The Pathfinder bergan is a quality piece of kit, really well built and well thought out. Super comfortable to wear with thick padded straps and back cushioning It’s the envy of the platoon.

Amazing bergen, even better service. I’ve just got back from pre-Cambrian training with the Gurkhas and my back doesn’t feel like it’s made out of Weetabix, so I’d say it definitely helps.

Recently Purchased a MTP Pathfinder Bergen and it is amazing.
The craftsmanship is on point.
The time and effort has clearly gone into this product. The sizing of the pouches is slightly larger than other Bergens which actually gives you the option to fit items in with ease instead of fighting them into pouches. The back panel padding is extremely comfortable and breathable.
I haven’t got a bad word to say about this Bergen, highly recommend for any Soldiers, especially Infantry dealers of D*a*h.

My pack finally arrived, it was well worth the weight, everything has been well thought out, the straps are nice and adjustable, my favourite part was the lid on the top which opens up with the zip compartment

Ordered to my unit via BFPO and thankfully Kitpimp was able to contact me quickly to get the correct details needed to send my packet across, great service and I was delighted with the item itself

If you’re coming straight from the issued bergen, this item is a ‘Must Have’!
One of the benefits of this Bergen is that you have a designated poncho pouch on the front that doesn’t intrude the opening ability of the bag, like the issued one. I have found this massively beneficial in the field. Don’t get me wrong, you can very much just go on with the issued bergen, but this is a nice-to-have feature.
Another one of this bags benefits, is that you also have an extra 2 pouch on the front that enable you to have easy-to-access kit like a jetboil, ready to go.
The commander flap at the top is easy to access, and I’ve found that I can fit a flat sleeping matt under the flap very easily.
The side pouches are also a pro, and are better than the issued one.

A tough bergen backpack with a very good carrying system, even the waist belt, which sits higher to be able to also wear a tactical belt.
Lee Carter (verified owner) –
Fantastic product and a speedy delivery, but unfortunately have had to give it to someone else in my unit as I was too tall, should really be advertised as a shortback
Tyler Brooks (verified owner) –
After having looked at both the beast bergen from genuine jay jays and the spartan bergen from dragon supplies I decided to give this a go and I certainly wasn’t dissapointed, for the money I spent it was fantastic value for money and after a few exercises I was wishing I had picked one up sooner! Their is literally a compartment for everything I could care to name and the delivery speed was quick after I called in and said I would prefer it delivered by the end of the week but was in fact delivered by DHL Express the day after ordered it at lunchtime!

Bought one in October for Jungle Warfare Instructors Course and could not recommend it enough. Was absolutely awesome. HF radio in a day sack for easily in the main compartment making it much easier to carry. The mesh in the lid was so useful and even without the side pouches had plenty of room throughout. Genuinely awesome bit of kit for an absolute steal.

Better than any bergan out there . Pure practical and super comf as well . Good admin stuff . It’s cheaper to buy than actually modified as well . Must buy product out there and recommend to all to buy if you are serving soldier . Excellent seller and kudos to them .

I did consider the Gladiator Bergen from Tywi Tactical but at £500 I was totally PUT OFF! Invested in one of these and all I can say is that it is truly a smashing piece of kit, and no fuss with delivery, so thanks guys, I’ll be back soon for a patrol pack in the near future!
Christopher Butler (verified owner) –
The ultimate bit of ally kit! Excellent in all aspects, from the “Fan Dance” to river crossings, this piece of kit has all the support you need out in the field. Very strong buckles, no need for sniper tape, it’s very sturdy and supporting on the shoulders and back. Enough room for even double Arctic doss bags. Highly recommend ????

Purchasing the item was very easy through the online store. All pictures and description are perfect. The item arrived very quick after Purchase. On the 15th of February I got to use the item in Brecon. Even while hold a load of 40kg, the bergen handled the weight without issue and was very comfortable on my back.

Great service, great product the pathfinder handles everything you throw at it.
Aidan Thompson (verified owner) –
Good quality. Comfortable to wear, easy to pack, haven’t worn it on an exercise yet but feels better than my issued bergen and feels better than my mates warrior bergen. Solid buy for the price.
