V-0123 Veshmeshok / Daypack in US Tricolor Desert camouflage pattern

The Veshmeshok used to be "just" a simple hundred years old Soviet Army backpack worn by millions of Soviet and Russian soldiers and later via the surplus market by Finnish Hipsters. ;-) 

It indeed is a simple yet very practical design coming with only one adjustable sling that at the same time closes the bag and serves as shoulder straps. Simply put - the heavier you fill the bag, the more secure the knot gets in holding it.

I decided to "modernize" the concept and give it new live as the "big brother" of the ubiquitous Hipster Bag / Drawstring bag. And a big brother it is, having way more room and a "proper" sling instead of strings. Also, all Veshmeshoks feature an external pocket.

This one comes in a classic US camouflage pattern - the now widely retired Tricolor Desert camouflage pattern, in this case made of a light Polyester fabric. It has been reinforced at the bottom with an Olive drab German Army tarp and has an external pocket closed with a Velcro. There's additional Velcro for a patch as well as some for a name-tape above the pocket. The 1 in wide carrying sling is from NOS German Army stocks as are the additional four straps for external storage which were equipped with MILSPEC snap-buckles. This Veshmeshok is lined with light Olive Drab Cordura.

Size: ca. 23 in x 18 in
