“I ordered this bag about a week ago to go along with the M85 rucksack, and I am not disappointed.
When the bag came, it didn't have any strange plastic smell but there were some signs of use (personal notes/wrapper was left in compartment). Other than that, the bag was remarkably clean with no rust anywhere, although one of the metal clips was chipped a little.
Note that this shoulder bag can easily be turned into a small backpack/daypack using the Vz85 Y-harness that comes with the matching rucksack. You can also buy it elsewhere. It clips right on and, with some adjustment, it turns it into a small backpack.
It's certainly not the prettiest bag in the world but it does its job as a simple, rugged shoulder bag quite well. You could probably give it a makeover by swapping out the thin strap with a longer, wider one you could find cheap online
Otherwise, if you're just wanting a bag you can stuff your things in, throw it over your shoulder, and get from A to B, you can't beat this 10-dollar deal.”
