US Military Waterproof Clothing Bag

Dry Kit Inside Your Pack

This is the US military waterproof clothing bag, a tall drawstring sack that goes inside a rucksack to keep spare clothing and gear dry when the pack itself gets soaked. Soldiers pack it as a liner, fill it with whatever has to stay dry, and tie off the neck before loading the rest of the ruck. Hikers, campers, paddlers and preppers use it for the same job, and ALICE pack owners get the liner their pack was meant to carry.

Features

• Nylon Shell With Rubber Liner — A nylon outer fabric is backed by a synthetic rubber waterproof layer, so rain and moisture stay on the outside of the bag.
• Tie-Cord Closure — An attached cord wraps around the folded neck of the bag and ties off, closing the mouth against water.
• Printed Closure Instructions — Step-by-step diagrams on the side of the bag show how to flatten, fold and tie the mouth for the tightest seal.
• ALICE Pack Liner Fit — The bag is sized to sit inside medium and large ALICE packs, the US military's long-serving issue rucksack system.
• Approx. 30 x 16 Inch Size — The bag stands about 30 inches (76 cm) tall and roughly 16 to 17 inches (41 to 43 cm) across, with room for a full change of clothing and more.
• Olive Drab 106 — It comes in the standard US military OD green shade, which matches other issue field gear.
• Built To MIL-B-3108 And A-A-55092 — These are the government specifications the bag is made to, meaning it follows the military's published standard rather than a maker's own design.
• NSN 8465-00-261-6909 — This National Stock Number is the code the US government uses to catalog and order this exact item.
• Made In The USA — The bag was manufactured in the United States for US military supply.

Genuine OCIE Issue

The waterproof clothing bag is listed as OCIE (Organizational Clothing and Individual Equipment), the category of kit the US military issues to individual soldiers. It is genuine government-issue equipment built to the MIL-B-3108 and A-A-55092 specifications, which makes it a sound pick for anyone who wants the original article for field use, an ALICE pack build or a period-correct reenactment loadout.
