US New-Issue Duffle Bag, Surplus

Do you remember the good ol’ days when TV was analog and high-quality hockey bags were cheap? Nowadays the only cheap bags are the shitty ones equipped with a self-destruct mechanism or war-proof milsurp. Here you have the latter, an olive drab US military duffle bag that you can carry in your hand, on your shoulder, or on your back. It will fit your sports gear, tactical equipment, hunting gear, or everything you need at the cottage plus beer. If they won’t fit, buy another one for just your beer.

Features

This is a very simple soft duffle bag without any plastic stiffeners. It has a large main compartment with a heavy-duty double zipper. No other pockets except a flat velcro pocket for a name tag at one of the ends. Four compression straps at the mouth of the bag to make overpacking easier. These also have a possibility to add a lock but the lock isn’t included.

This sports duffle has carrying handles on top and shoulder straps at the bottom. Furthermore, it has handles at the ends. So, you have very versatile carrying options and it is also easy to lift out of boats, trucks, and anywhere really because you can grab it from any direction. Made from water-resistant, thick, and durable 1000 Denier Nylon duck cloth.

Sizing

These fit more than you usually need. The outer measurements are c. 79 x 32 x 31 cm (31” x 12.6 x 12.2”). Because this is a soft bag, the measurements change depending on what kind of stuff you shove inside. The weight when empty is just 1.26 kg (2.8 lbs).

Condition

Used US military surplus, in other words, very durable military gear. The condition varies quite a bit. Some of these have been used quite nicely but some have a spray-painted spot, possibly to mark that they were removed from active duty. Some can also have some surplus dust and dirt plus frayed seams, and other signs of use. If you only accept new and spotless, buy a new bag. However, a new bag of this high quality will cost craploads more.

A fantastic bag for stuff that gets sweaty and dirty when used. Such as hunting and tactical gear. Wash it thoroughly and you can transport whatever you want. You can leave that pristine white brand bag to gather dust in your closet because it is too pretty to be used.
