Product description

The East German Sturmgepäck (assault pack) is not as bad a piece of kit as you'd think: a simple, square shaped pack made of thick, waterproofed fabric with Strichtarn camo, carried with Y-suspenders (not included!) or anything you clip it onto. Can also be attached to bike racks with very little work!

To increase the carrying capacity, loops for extra stuff (blankets, Zeltbahns) are provided on the outside. Inside measurements about 30 x 30 x 12 cm (12" x 12" x 5").

All of these are waterproofed in some way, be it a PVC sock style or just rubberized fabric. Please accept that we won't pick, you just get the next in line.

Hey, bicycle fanatics!

Get two of these, attach them to your bike and hey presto, you have pannier bags for much less than the actual ones cost! The cheap price doesn't even reflect quality: these are army surplus kit and made for real use.

East German surplus

All of these seemed to be unissued, in pristine condition. However, long storage time might be seen in some slight surface rust on a few metal parts.

Great bag for the price. Two of them came without the rubber material inside, but these also have "MfS" instead of "NVA" written on them. So some of them are real StaSi surplus, hard to find if you look for it

great, mine where unissued (albeit with some *very minor* warehouse rash/superficial rust) - they are somewhat smaller than they look, but very well made, the rubber-sock is smelly as heck (3 days hung outside while open helps that), but still supple. I was worried that the sock might start disintegrating, given the fact that it was stored 30-40 years in a warehouse, but no, still soft and tons of life in it. Will last a lifetime ...

One of the best backpacks i ever bought, great quality, fashionable, sturdy as hell. Mine was like new and with the PVC inner protection. The only disadvantage is the small capacity.
