U.S. Military Improved Duffel Bag (IDB) | OD Green
Haul your gear with the authentic, bombproof hauler trusted by the U.S. Armed Forces: the Improved Duffel Bag (IDB). This is the genuine military surplus transport bag (NSN: 8465-01-604-6541) in classic Olive Drab Green, representing a massive upgrade in functionality over the old-style "sea bags."
Backpack & Duffel Carry System
The most significant feature of the IDB is its versatile carry system. It includes two padded, adjustable shoulder straps, allowing it to be comfortably worn as a backpack for hands-free transport over longer distances. It also features four robust nylon handles—two in the center and one on each end—for traditional duffel-style carry and easy handling.
Rugged, Deployment-Ready Construction
Constructed from heavy-duty, water-resistant 1000 Denier Cordura nylon, this bag is highly resistant to abrasions, tears, and scuffs. The heavy-duty, self-mending zipper is designed with eyelets that can be secured with a padlock, and a small external pocket is perfect for documents or quick-access items.

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
It was bigger than I thought sent it back for a smaller one
