Well, I dunno what you mean by the old field pack. When i was
in, the field pack i used was the one whose side pouches were a
perfect fit for 1x 24 hour combat ration, unopened. Its the one
made of a thin nylon-like material (maybe it is nylon) and which is
sealed with 2 x velcro flaps, followed by a cover that was
basically 2 x nylon sheets with a velcro opening to allow you to
store things like maps, etc in the cover itself.
Hope i made my self clear. The new one is the one that looks like
one of those tall hiking bags you see in the shops?
