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.

Let customers speak for us
from 158 reviewsI ordered three of these bags and when the first order came in it only had one bag in it I immediately contacted Forest City supply and in the employee that I talked to or had communications through emails with was very professional as far as I can tell and immediately resolved the issue and sent me the other two that I had ordered their customer service is top-notch their products are as described make sure when you're ordering that you are ordering the right condition I ordered defective items which I was perfectly fine with the items are still in very usable shape overall great transaction
Poncho Liner still had what looked like a serial number tag on it. Good price for a new one. Very pleased with this purchase.
Still need a bladder for other H2O holder
The sleeping bag was in good condition and well maintained. Will get more years of service with it
I jumped the Gun when I reviewed the 5pc Load Carrier giving it only 3 stars because I could not adjust the size. Forest City showed me how to do it with a video. The last load carrier I had worn was the Vietnam Era LCE/LBE.
Thank You Forest City for another Great Product!
Still need another hydration bladder for 0ther one i hav
Everything is good. The pack came fast and was in good condition. A little bit of staining on bottom, but barely noticeable.
Products arrived on time as described. Will be shopping here more
Very fair price for a sleep system in great condition, used it the next day to sleep outside below freezing on a camping trip. Performed just like I remember from the Army. Thanks for a great buy!
This is a great service offered by Forest City Supply; the ability to select the grade of your items. I have ordered the same poncho liners from Sportsman Guide for the price of Very Good grade, just to return the liner due to holes and tears. The Good Grade liners make fine dust covers for your spare beds. I am very pleased with my purchase.
It's exactly what it was supposed to be. I needed something to fix my ICS seams where the tape has peeled off. I haven't used the sealant yet but I'll more than likely be buying another complete repair kit just in case I need it and don't have it.
