Woobie. Camelbak Motherlode and HAWG backpacks. Swiss Army Cadet knives I had. A little brass survival compass we were supposed to safety pin inside our top for E&E, I’ve made a necklace out of it and wear it when I’m camping or hiking. Sewing kit I was issued or bought in 1995 still gets some use. Laundry bag. When I used to do Tough Mudder type races I would run in an old pair of ACU pants cut off just below the knees to make it a little easier to crawl over gravel and I’d wear the old last chance belt to hold them up. And I’d cheat when climbing over walls and hold myself up with the belt buckle while repositioning to climb over. I used an old pair of mechanix gloves I was issued for years when I was riding motorcycles. Eventually I lost them and replaced them with the same style. I liked the coyote brown color when riding. I still run and bike in an old pair of Oakley Half Jackets. I have an old large ALICE pack and frame that I use when I need to sweat some frustrations out and I go ruck. And I have a knock-off combat lifesaver bag without the medics emblem on it that I use to take my art supplies with me when I’m on the go. I also still use some old bore snakes and Otis cleaning kits that were issued, the waffle top, silks for a bottom layer under jeans when I ride motorcycles in colder weather and an old petzl tactical LED headlamp with a red lens cover is in the center console of my car.

Came here to say this, depending on your temp extremes.

It’s been a couple years since I was in Germany by I saw several men carrying them. They just tended to have darker, more somber colors. But, if that’s a real concern fjallraven makes several other styles that are well within your price range.
