Cube backpacks presented on our Militaria.pl website, are a treat for all those who are looking for a comfortable, durable backpack in military and tactical design. Military cube backpacks are perfect for everyday, urban use, and of course will also work well for hiking/survival trips. What's more, these cube backpacks can combine both functions. Thus, you will find an ideal urban backpack and a backpack for a shorter off-road trip.
The ankle backpack has gained a near cult status in Poland over the years. It originated in the Polish army and served our soldiers from 1979 until the end of the last century. The military cube backpack owes its name to its cuboid shape, soldiers using backpacks of this type called them cubes precisely, in a way starting the legend of these backpacks. After 1989, the military cube backpack was gradually phased out of the army's use and found its way to the civilian market, gaining popularity among scouts, hikers and school children. The classic military cube backpack was made of durable tarp or cordura. It had a square of webbing sewn onto the flap for mounting a meniscus with straps. Thanks to the webbing side straps, it was possible to attach, for example, a rolled blanket or a sleeping mat to the cube backpack.
It was in the 1990s that ankle backpacks reigned supreme in Polish schools. Their popularity was linked to the high availability of this demobilized model. These backpacks were characterized by high durability and capacity, easily accommodating A4 size notebooks or folders. When not in use and rolled up, the cube backpack does not take up space, if necessary, you can quickly unroll it and have a capacious backpack for use, ideal for urban conditions. Thus, this type of backpack can be transported very easily in luggage or in a jacket pocket. It was very popular to personalize ankle backpacks with patches. This phenomenon was evident in some youth groups, especially in the metal-rock subculture. Patches with the logos of rock bands were among the most common on ankle backpacks. Today, there are countless different motifs and designs of patches with which to decorate our backpack. A wide range of patches can of course be found on Militaria.pl. In addition to classic cube-type backpacks, we can also meet models modeled on them. Thanks to the use of modern technologies and solutions, the comfort of using such a backpack is increased. An example of this is the company Fjord Nansen, which offers polyester backpacks that will work well as a school satchel, as well as a hiking backpack.
