Physical Description

Key Features of the F2 Daypack

Major Differences: F1 vs. F2

Feature / Detail
Capacity Approximately 20 to 30 liters.
Material Heavy-duty, vinyl-coated (PVC) canvas for superior waterproofing compared to the F1.
Main Upgrades Transitioned from metal buckles to plastic quick-release clips (fastex style) for easier access.
Compartments One main interior compartment, a large flat pocket on the back, and a front pocket under the main flap.
Carrying System Adjustable shoulder straps, often featuring a chest strap for better stability during movement.


Fabric: The F1 is primarily heavy cotton canvas, while the F2 is almost entirely rubberized/plasticized, making it feel stiffer but much more weather-resistant.

Hardware: The F1 uses traditional metal friction buckles; the F2 uses plastic clips.
Color: The F2 is most commonly found in the classic French CE (Centre Europe) Camouflage pattern, whereas the F1 is usually solid Olive Drab.
