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 100 reviewsThe "issued" MOLLE II Shoulder Straps were exactly as described and pictured, but even better. Very light wear or use, if any at all. The shoulder straps had been in storage but that had no effect on the overall quality (the straps were a little stiff but softened up quickly). Comfortable and serviceable. Outstanding customer service as they were very responsive to my questions on the phone. I will definitely purchase from Forest City again.
The FLC itself looks new, some pouches are in great shape, some need a little cleaning as expected. I needed a replacement for a defective piece I ordered alongside this one, and the owner was very responsive and sent out a perfect quality replacement.
The price was about the same as a carrier with no pouches, so why not? All pieces were in pretty good shape.
I ordered 2 good quality pouches. 1 had a small hole and was clean, the other was a bit stained but in good shape. They have Metal D rings to easily accept a utility strap, and they have snap buttons that line up with the 6 mag bandolier…..which wasn’t intended and is a bit awkward, but it works kinda.
Arrived as described,
I am very pleased with my purchase and will be a return customer.
Exactly as specified, in good condition
Absolutely awesome, these were exactly what I needed. Every outdoorsman needs a few of these, they weigh almost nothing and really hold the heat.
Everything bought from Forest City Supply is Great, would buy again…
Great Stuff, would buy again..Forest City Supply, Great
