Soviet 'Veshmeshok' backpack

Veshmeshoks backpacks are probably one among the most iconic pieces of equipment from the East. Origins of Veshmeshoks, or 'Sidors' are speculated to be from Russian Imperial Army, around 80s, where they turned potato sacks into infantry backpack, then the construction became a part of equipment of Red Army soldiers and is probably used in some way or shape up to this day.

Issued and used, different years of manufacture (60s, 70s, 80s).  Smell of mighty surplus.

• Grade I - Only slight visual discolourations, personal tags, or very small tears, no functional damage.
• Grade II -  Musty, damaged, with many tears, needs some extra love and repair. 

If you purchased one and have trouble assembling it, please don't hestitate to contact me on instagram.
