Description
KitPimp Pathfinder MTP Bergen
The KitPimp Pathfinder MTP Bergen is a fully tailored, field-ready rucksack built for modern infantry. It combines durability, comfort and smart organisation in one system — so you don’t need to modify issued kit or pay for aftermarket tailoring. It’s ready to load and go straight out of the box.
In the field, the Pathfinder distributes weight evenly and keeps your equipment where you need it, so you can focus on the mission instead of fighting your pack.
Why Choose an MTP Bergen Built for Infantry
The Pathfinder was designed with British Army Infantry in mind, suiting both light and mechanised roles. The rucksack sits correctly above the belt and carries weight evenly across the back — the difference a well-built Bergen makes on a long tab.
Made from genuine 1000D abrasion resistant MTP fabric which is both IRR and has a durable water repellant finish.
Every part of this pack is built to save time and reduce fatigue: gear stays organised, gear stays accessible, and soldiers stay focused on the task at hand rather than digging through kit. Whether you’re heading out on exercise, prepping for Selection, or simply replacing a worn-out issued pack, this rucksack is designed to earn its place on your back from day one.
150-Litre MTP Bergen Capacity
This Bergen offers a genuine 150 litres of storage, with every compartment built for a purpose:
- 110L main compartment — big enough for large clothing, tools, or operational essentials.
- 2 × 17L removable side pouches — extra capacity when you need it, or strip them off for a lighter carry.
- 3 × 4L front utility pouches — quick access to smaller items like first aid kits or comms gear.
- 8L poncho/basha pouch — keeps weather gear protected but within easy reach.
Nothing about this rucksack wastes space. Everything has a place, so you spend less time searching and more time moving. That kind of layout matters most when you’re tired, cold, and need to find something fast — a well-organised Bergen can be the difference between a smooth resupply and a frustrating one.
Comfort Built Into Every Feature
Carrying a loaded Bergen for hours only works if the design earns its keep. The Pathfinder is built around comfort as much as capacity:
- Padded S-shaped shoulder straps for stability and balanced weight.
- Sternum strap to stop the load shifting on the move.
- Breathable mesh back system with airflow channels running the length of the spine.
- Lumbar support pad to protect your lower back.
- Internal aluminium frame to hold posture and distribute weight correctly.
- Removable MOLLE waist belt for modular flexibility.
The result is an MTP Bergen that stays comfortable on extended tabs and long marches, not just around the block, with the load distributed evenly rather than dragging on the shoulders.
Smart Layout for Field Efficiency
Good organisation matters as much as capacity in a Bergen. The Pathfinder keeps everything accessible where it counts:
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 full visibility and easy access.
- Internal mesh organiser pockets with elastic loops.
- MOLLE panel for extra modular attachments.
There’s even room for a small patrol pack under the floating lid, so mission-specific gear doesn’t disrupt the main load.
Built to Last: MTP Bergen Durability
This pack is made from 1000D MTP fabric, built to resist wear, tear and abrasion in harsh field conditions. Other features that keep it tough include:
- Side and bottom compression straps to secure the load tightly.
- Removable side pouches for flexible configurations.
- Shoulder straps with MOLLE attachments for extra kit.
- Mesh storage pocket with drawstring closure.
- Cat’s-eye luminous tab for low-light visibility.
This is an MTP Bergen designed to handle demanding operational conditions without letting you down, whether that’s a wet exercise in the Brecon Beacons or a multi-day tab across rough terrain.
Who the Pathfinder Bergen Is Built For
This pack suits serving soldiers looking to upgrade from an unmodified issued Bergen, reservists preparing for exercise or Selection, and anyone who wants a durable 150-litre pack for serious outdoor use.
Why Soldiers Choose the Pathfinder MTP Bergen
Many soldiers spend money modifying their issued kit for comfort and organisation. The Pathfinder already includes those upgrades as standard, giving you:
- Comfortable load carriage, even fully loaded.
- Efficient organisation for large and small items alike.
- Less time spent searching for kit.
- No need for expensive aftermarket tailoring.
The ergonomic design carries weight efficiently, supports posture, and keeps movement unrestricted — so you stay operationally ready without the extra fatigue.
Care and Longevity
Like any piece of field kit, a little care goes a long way. Brush off loose dirt after use, let the pack air dry before storage, and avoid machine washing, which can damage the fabric coating and stitching.
The True Rucksack of a Spartan
Spacious, durable and ergonomically designed, the KitPimp Pathfinder MTP Bergen is built for infantry operators who need their kit to keep up. Once you’ve used this Bergen in the field, standard issued kit will feel restrictive by comparison.

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 .

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.

Delivery was quick, the Bergen is top quality materials and very well made. Padding and breathability on the Bergen is a game changer!
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.
