Description
Romanian Issue Field Pack
This is a combat pack issued by the Romanian Army: a compact olive drab cotton canvas bag that rides on an adjustable shoulder strap and closes under a deep buckled flap. The divided interior keeps rations, tools or daily carry sorted instead of piled in one pocket. It suits collectors and reenactors of Eastern European kit, and anyone who wants a tough canvas shoulder bag with real military provenance.
Features
- Cotton Canvas Body — Heavy woven cotton canvas in olive drab forms the body, flap and strap, with visible double rows of stitching along the seams.
- Buckled Front Flap — Two brown cotton webbing straps run down the front and fasten through metal buckles to hold the flap shut.
- Central Strap Closure — A third canvas strap crosses the middle of the flap and secures through a steel roller buckle anchored by a riveted metal tab.
- Divided Interior — Internal canvas dividers split the main body into separate sections so smaller items stay put.
- Leather Reinforcements — Stitched leather tabs strengthen the flap and the top edge, and the two rear tabs are also riveted for extra hold.
- Adjustable Shoulder Strap — A wide canvas strap with a metal buckle adjusts for carrying over one shoulder or across the body.
- Front Metal Ring — A steel ring at the base of the center strap gives you a point to clip keys, a lanyard or small gear.
- Issue Markings — A stamped leather tab sewn inside the flap carries the original military markings.
Built To Army Spec
The pack follows a classic European military pattern: cotton canvas, leather tabs at the stress points and plain steel hardware, all chosen for field use rather than looks. Because it is genuine Romanian Army issue and not a reproduction, the cut, materials and markings are what soldiers were actually given. That makes it a sound pick for completing a period loadout, and a practical everyday bag for anyone who prefers canvas and leather to nylon.

Romanian Army Combat PackWell built, and very rugged. This pack surprised me by how well built it was. comfortable shoulder strap, and 2 interior pockets make it a great day pack. I am very pleased with the bag, and feel it was a great value for the price. Recommended !!
Great value, tough, well built, and in very good condition for its age.

Simple, tough, surprisingly comfortableBought this expecting typical Eastern Bloc crude heavy, uncomfortable, barely functional. Wrong. This Romanian pack is well-designed: simple external frame, thick canvas, wide leather shoulder straps. Mine is dated 1984, clearly issued but not abused. The canvas is thick, no dry rot, all buckles functional. The leather straps are stiff but breaking in. The waist belt is simple webbing, not padded, but works for moderate loads. Romanian markings are visible, including the unit stamp. For $25 it's half what a vintage ALICE pack costs and more interesting.
Genuine surplus, repairable design
No organizational pockets

good 'body, durable canvasMy only complaint on this bag is the compartmentalization inside; it came with a divider sewn in that divides it into two, narrower 'silos' (you can see that seam in the photo above). That was easy enough to cut out. The fabric is a very hard, tough canvas; the buckles are crude but effective enough (exactly what I'd expect from that country, that time); the straps are really too light weight, but they work. The shape of the bag makes it want to tip over; stable when hanging from the shoulder strap, but will fall over immediately when you set it down, and your stuff will fall out if you don't have the straps cinched down. But it'll outlive me; really like the canvas, the body of the bag. Just wish it was about 2" wider.
