I got these to go with the excellent Swiss alpenflage rain poncho's They are a very simple soft canvas bags with shoulder straps that gather in the front with fastex buckle one central pocket and two long narrow side pockets (the side pockets look ideal for the Swiss volcano stove/canteen) and a top flap with snaps. Nothing fancy but effective. All of the ones I have obtained so far have been in good shape, definitely used though, some have ordinance depot level repairs that are well done on a sewing machine. Good match with the poncho, these do not appear to have been waterproofed, this is always an option and may not be a bad idea to keep them from soaking up water when on the ground. They are made to be worn under the poncho in bad weather. We are offering them as a set of a poncho and a back pack. When you see the Alpenflage pattern out side the woods one tends to think it is too light colored to work well, when you get in a forest you can see it is wickedly effective. I plan to post some pictures of in the forest soon
