Our Grading Process
Each item is inspected by our warehouse team. We remove damaged goods, test zippers/snaps, and sort into:
- New - (New w/ tags, New-in-bag, New old stock)
- Very Good - Minimal signs of use. These items may have slight wear or minor cosmetic imperfections, but overall, they are in excellent shape.
- Good - used but are still in good working condition. These items may show moderate signs of wear, such as fading, scuffs, or small repairs. Despite these cosmetic flaws, Good condition military surplus items are fully functional and offer reliable performance.
- Defect - Heavily used and may require some repairs or refurbishment. These items may have substantial wear, tear, fading, stains, and other cosmetic flaws.
Sustainability Matters
We divert over 50 tons of high-quality gear from the waste stream annually, supporting circular economy goals and giving your customers authentic, durable products with a story.

Let customers speak for us
Both the intermediate cold sleeping bags & the bivy covers conditon were better than anticipated
The Ruck appears to be a new one. I was expecting a used one. The price was well worth it.
Saw this brand new woobie and added it to my cart without thinking. Heard these had been found and other surplus sites have them listed for way more. No wonder they sold out so fast. Definitely a new favorite site.
Great deal on a perfectly good pack. Condition exactly as described with one small tear that doesn't impact functionality at all. Can't believe the prices these guys have with fast shipping as well. Recommended to a ton of friends who also picked some up. Will continue to use going forward for surplus needs.
Shipping was super fast, and the description of the item was spot on. Very happy with my purchase.
My son's should be here very soon.
I expected pretty used gear. They don’t appear to be used at all. And the shipping was quick.
Fast delivery, great gear, awesome value.
I couldnt ask for a better experience!

Came in exceptional shape, looking almost brand new. No holes and the zipper was perfect
I ordered a bivy sac from Ron. I had questions. He responded immediately. I couldn't be more happy with his response, alleviating my concerns. His motto: "Under promise, over deliver" was validated. Highly recommend. Thanks Ron
Looks brand new!
