Czech Military M85 Shoulder Bag - Preview



It's military surplus Wednesday and we are looking at the Czech M85 Bag with Shoulder Strap.

...

http://www.keepshooting.com/czech-m85-bag-with-shoulder-strap.html

$5.00

This is the m85 bag, not to be confused with the m85 backpack.

The Czech M85 bag is a medium sized shoulder bag that was issued to soldiers in the Czech Army. We were told these were intended to be gas mask bags, but that soldiers found them so useful they became an all purpose transport bag.

The Czech M85 bag is one of those military surplus deals we love. For less than the price of a cup of coffee, you get a military grade shoulder bag that no commercial bag can compete with. Order one today and you'll be hooked on military surplus deals like this for years to come.

Features:

Water resistant exterior
Multiple internal pockets and dividers
Large adjustable shoulder strap
Top flap seals using two adjustable straps
Name tag window
Specifications:
1990s manufacturing date
Dimensions: 10.5" W x 9" H x 5" D

$9.95

.5oz on my scale

A little shy of 6.5 inches long.

Number of different colors : Purple, Silver, Green and Blue.
Twice the weight savings--not only is titanium light, but this is the only utensil you will need

Designed deep enough to function as a spoon but with four prongs for normal fork functionality

Titanium leaves no metallic smell or taste and will not rust
