- Why Bulletproof Zone?
The Rothco Canvas Outdoorsman Rucksack is a heavyweight cotton canvas pack built for camping, hiking, and extended outdoor use. It measures 19 x 13 x 8 inches and weighs 2.1 lb, offering a main compartment with drawstring and buckle-lid closure, a front zippered pocket, two side pockets, and multiple D-rings for gear attachment. Available in Woodland Camo.
Organized Storage for the Trail
The Rothco Canvas Outdoorsman Rucksack organizes gear across several distinct compartments. The large main compartment handles bulkier items and closes with a drawstring, then a pocket lid secured by an adjustable buckle, two layers of closure that keep contents from shifting on uneven terrain. A zippered pocket on the lid and a separate front zippered pocket give quick access to smaller items without opening the main compartment. Two side pockets with buckle closures hold water bottles or other frequently reached items upright and within reach.
Carry Comfort Over Long Distances
The Rothco Canvas Outdoorsman Rucksack distributes load across dual adjustable padded shoulder straps and a 2-inch waist belt. The waist belt transfers weight from the shoulders to the hips on longer carries, reducing fatigue during extended treks. A top carry handle provides a grab point when lifting the pack in and out of a vehicle or locker. Multiple D-rings on the exterior allow additional gear (pouches, tools, or accessories) to be clipped on without consuming interior space.
Heavyweight Canvas Built for Rough Conditions
The Rothco Canvas Outdoorsman Rucksack is constructed from heavyweight cotton canvas, a material that resists abrasion and holds its shape under load. This canvas is naturally water-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor conditions where light moisture exposure is likely. The construction is intended for long-term, repeated use in rugged environments rather than occasional light-duty carry.

Who This Is For and Isn't
The Rothco Canvas Outdoorsman Rucksack suits campers, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts who want a durable, traditionally styled canvas pack with organized storage and comfortable carry for day trips or multi-day outings. The D-rings and side pockets also make it a practical choice for anyone who needs to attach or access gear quickly on the trail.
This rucksack has no internal frame and no stated hydration reservoir compatibility, and its water resistance is limited to the canvas material's natural properties with no waterproof rating. Buyers needing a fully waterproof pack or a frameless pack rated for heavy technical loads should look elsewhere.
Common Questions
What fits inside the main compartment?
The Rothco Canvas Outdoorsman Rucksack's main compartment measures 19 x 13 x 8 inches overall (exterior dimensions), providing space for clothing layers, a sleeping bag, food supplies, or other bulky outdoor essentials. The drawstring-and-buckle-lid closure keeps contents secure during active movement on the trail.
How does the waist belt help on longer hikes?
The 2-inch waist belt on the Rothco Canvas Outdoorsman Rucksack anchors the pack against the hips, shifting some of the load off the shoulders. Combined with the dual adjustable padded shoulder straps, this helps distribute weight more evenly during extended carries, reducing shoulder fatigue over time.
Is the canvas water-resistant?
The heavyweight cotton canvas used in this rucksack is naturally water-resistant, meaning it can handle light moisture and brief exposure to rain. This rucksack does not carry a stated waterproof rating, so a pack cover or dry bags are advisable in sustained heavy rain.
Can I attach additional pouches or gear to the outside?
Yes. The Rothco Canvas Outdoorsman Rucksack includes multiple D-rings on the exterior, allowing compatible pouches, tools, or accessories to be clipped on. This extends the pack's carrying capacity without using interior space, which is useful for gear that needs to stay accessible during a trek.
Does this rucksack have a Prop 65 warning?
Yes. The Rothco Canvas Outdoorsman Rucksack is subject to a California Proposition 65 warning for Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP). California law requires this notice for products containing chemicals on the state's list of substances known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

The Bulletproof Zone Promise
When you buy body armor, you're buying your safety. We don't take that lightly. Here's what every order from Bulletproof Zone includes.
1. Authorized dealer of every brand we carry
Every plate, vest, and carrier we ship comes from the manufacturer directly to our warehouse. We don't sell gray-market product, surplus, or returns. That means factory-fresh stock, the full manufacturer warranty, and real after-sale support — the kind only an authorized dealer can offer.
We maintain authorized-dealer relationships with America's leading body armor brands, including Spartan Armor Systems, AR500 Armor, RMA Defense, Shellback Tactical, Caliber Armor, DFNDR Armor, Protection Group Denmark, BulletSafe, BulletBlocker, and over 40 more.
2. Best price, guaranteed
If you find a lower price at another authorized dealer of the same product within six months of your purchase, we'll refund the difference.
Why the "authorized dealer" requirement? Because gray-market and surplus armor may not be genuine, may have a compromised supply chain, and almost never comes with a manufacturer warranty. We won't price-match against products that may not actually protect you.
3. Free fitment consultation
Body armor only protects you if it fits. Email us a photo and your measurements before you order, and one of our specialists will help you size your carrier and plates correctly — at no charge, no obligation.
4. Trusted by thousands of customers
Bulletproof Zone has been a trusted authorized dealer of America's leading body armor manufacturers for over five years. We have over 4,000 verified Trustpilot reviews from real customers across all 50 states.

- The item must be in stock on the competitor's website at the time of your request.

- The competitor must be an authorized dealer of the product. Auction sites (eBay, Overstock), discounters, and gray-market resellers do not qualify.
