Grüß dich Kameraden!
At the Front (ATF) has announced some fantastic news today. They are soon to offer a große Gebirgsjägerrucksack. They have long had their intentions to do so burried on their news page, but today it said this,
<snip>
"We finally finished the sample Gebirgs ruck. Yes, 4 months after I started clowning around with it. We won't have production models until after January, but finally we're moving on them."

Link to the product page with photos and even more information on the soon-to-be released ruck:

$199.99 USD is a more than fair price for a qaulity made ruck. I paid $240.00 USD for my original and it is missing the extenders, has an excellent body, and fair condition leather.
The only current competitor is the Chinese made product on ebay:

The youchunhe pictures leave me feeling that the leather is too thin, the top flap is improperly shaped, and some of the hardware is flat out wrong. The ATF pictures...only warm and fuzzy like hot cocoa in the morning while perched on a snowy mountain peak!
