NVA Sturmgepäck combat pack, Strichtarn, with yoke, surplus
The East German Sturmgepäck (assault pack) is not as bad a piece of kit as you'd think: a simple, square-shaped pack made of thick, waterproofed fabric with Strichtarn camo, carried with Y-suspenders or anything you clip it onto. Can also be attached to bike racks with very little work!
- We don't know when this product will be restocked. With surplus the restock date is unknown due to sometimes poor availability. Request restock notification and we will email you as soon as this product is available.

To increase the carrying capacity, loops for extra stuff (blankets, Zeltbahns) are provided on the outside. Inside measurements about 30 x 30 x 12 cm (12" x 12" x 5").
All of these are waterproofed in some way, be it a PVC sock style or just rubberized fabric. Please accept that we won't pick, you just get the next in line.
Hey, bicycle fanatics!
Get two of these, attach them to your bike, and hey presto, you have pannier bags for much less than the actual ones cost! The cheap price doesn't even reflect quality: these are army surplus kit and made for real use.
East-German surplus
All of these seemed to be unissued, in pristine condition. However, long storage time might be seen in some slight surface rust on a few metal parts.

Their real strength is the strap system - They come with a detachable yoke, which is a Y-shaped arrangement of straps, but they're covered in attachment points (Four on the front, four on the back, two on the sides, and a carry handle on the top), so they can be worn as a backpack, a shoulder bag, around the waist, clipped onto bits of your bike frame, attached to a service dog's harness or whatever. The d-rings also mean that you can hang other things on the outside of the bag, or clip one of them to the other to lift both at once.
My one complaint is the external buckles that hold the flap down; They work on friction alone, so they're very adjustable, but they also don't feel incredibly secure and sometimes they take a bit of fiddling to get right.
Not only would I recommend these to a friend, I already have, and he bought two and loves them as well.

It was -15 out side in the bush and I was wearin thin Canadian Military combats and this bag kept my back so warm and could carry many useful things inside it was great for carrying my MRE’s in when running around.
And I love the rubber bag lining inside overall very good and durable

The yoke works well for preventing the bag from touching the tire (I placed the bag at the front ).

I didn't even have to wait in line to enjoy this pack as an emergency kit in the village automobile as well as a bicycle pannier for my work trips to the brown fabric mill. A generous amount of straps and webbing are also included for one's authorized luxuries.
