Rare Cyclops SERAC Rucksack
History
Nice and unusual Cyclops SERAC Bergen, a private purchase in the 1980's, having integral side pockets, ski slots, canvas body with original leather base, top pocket and early pattern snaps and buckles.
Rucksacks have always been a forte of Berghaus and in 1972 the first Cyclops appeared, probably one of the first in the world to have an internal frame and certainly one of the top ten best rucksacks ever produced.
Mick Tighe, a young Royal Marine Arctic Warfare Instructor in the 1970’s, was surprised to see that a lot of Marines had ditched their military issue rucksacks in favour of the Cyclops. Berghaus was awarded a contract to make military rucksacks as a result.
The Serac version of the rucksack seems to be little more than a variation of the original and would seem to date from around the same era.
