Description
The KitPimp Pathfinder Bergen is the beloved PLCE Shortback MTP Bergen built from scratch with all the mods and features people charge extortionate amounts for, been designed with the Infantry in mind, the true spartan warriors of the British Army and Armed Forces, and brings together all the most commonly asked for mods for issued kit into one easy to use package. We have this is in mind when we wanted the ultimate tailored bergen. This is the kind of rucksack or backpack you need if you want something easy to distribute your kit around as well as being comfy so you can walk and carry weight more easily!
UK NSN: 8465-99-847-4712
The KitPimp Pathfinder Bergen is a flagship Bergen in the UK Forces especially with the Infantry Soldiers of the British Army whom could be either light infantry or even in the mechanized spartan APC. Featuring two removable side pockets, three large utility pouches, and a generously sided main body. The Pathfinder Tailored Bergen is easily capable of the large load out required by today’s operators and can be customized for role specific needs.
The nicely padded and widened shoulder straps as well as the airflow mesh system makes carrying weight whilst tabbing, walking and marching a pleasure.
One of the nicer features is the fact the MOLLE belt is detachable and easily removed when not required and a small patrol pack can easily be fitted under the floating lid so if you’re wanting a solid winner in a load carrying Bergen this is the one to take, with a massive 150 liter capacity in excess and a storage compartment for everything you can think of I can’t think of a reason not to!
Spacious, comfortable and design to sit above your belt kit the mesh lining allows excess moisture when carrying heavy loads under stress to dissipate and once you’ve handled this, you’ll never touch the issued kit in the British Army again, why would you?
One of the nicer features is also the commander’s lid and this is set to be a mainstream option in our upcoming Bergen ranges with something for everything but for the present this is the staple of our range.
So where can I see more about it? The MTP Bergen or rucksack of a spartan
What’s so good about the KitPimp Pathfinder MTP Bergen it makes walking with weight easier?
It’s good to go from the outset and means no need to send off your issued MTP Bergen and have it “modded” or “tailored” from places like Dixies Corners, Dragon Supplies, Genuine Jay Jays, Troopers of Colchester and other places!
Like the webbing we manufacture this is the true Bergen of a spartan and is designed to sit right above your belt kit.
No other Bergen or load carrying rucksack will compare to it, comes a multitude of features that the standard doesn’t have without intense modding and also comfort and adjustability, 150 Litre capacity. Inbuilt features to store all your kit efficiently without having to fumble about in the field.
How did you come up with these things?
A lot of thought has gone in to the overall design itself. The design includes features such as
- 110 Litre main body
- 2 x 17 Litre Side Pouches
- 3 x Utility pouch (4 Litres each)
- Poncho pouch (8 Litres)
- Sewn mesh pocket with drawstring top at side
- Shoulder strap enhancement
- Tactical floating lid
- Padded mesh back
- Commanders Top lid with internal mesh pockets featuring a 3-sided zip
Designed to make carrying weight whilst walking a pleasure.
That’s all on top of the standard 120 litres already on offer = thus bringing it up to 150 litres.

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.
David White (verified owner) –
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.
Jamie Thompson (verified owner) –
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.
Oliver Clancy (verified owner) –
I bought a pathfinder Bergen it’s extremely comfortable on tabs has lots of support for your back lots of pockets for anything that will be needed amazing quality extremely roomy and fits snuggly on a shorter person

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

After looking at the cost of getting my plce bergen tailored elsewhere this came up to virtually half the price and considering its brand new I thought it was a bargain, came the day after I paid for it so thanks alot for that guys
Hailey Fox (verified owner) –
My son loved it thanks
Alex Normon (verified owner) –
Used it on ex a few times and it’s miles better than the Virtus one which is now gathering dust
David Dimba (verified owner) –
Have been using it a few weeks and it’s totally changed the way I organize my life in the field, happy so far
Munafen Yekten (verified owner) –

Welcome! One of the best backpacks you can get – in my opinion. The material is very strong, the buckles are strong and there are many packing options! I’m very happy! Perfect! Thank you for working together! Have a nice day – Zoli.

Markus Simon (verified owner) –
Got it in time for ex and it held up well

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
Kris (verified owner) –
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.
Mike Wolff 69 (verified owner) –
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!
Sam (verified owner) –
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.
Saniiv Rai (verified owner) –
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 .
Andrew Cunningham (verified owner) –
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 ????
Anthony White (verified owner) –
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.
