About Load Carriage
The backpack can trace its name back to the Norwegian manufacturer Ole F Bergan. In 1913, Bergan's rucksacks were introduced into the Norwegian Armed Forces. In 1922 they equipped the British Mount Everest Expedition during the first serious climb of the mountain. Bergans have evolved into high quality pieces of military equipment and Dragon Supplies are a manufacturer in the UK of Specialist Bergans for the British Army. You will see some of their products on our website. Both the Spartan Bergan and Commanders Bergan are included along with the renowned Vulcan range of Bergans from Berghaus.
