As you may or may not know, the USGI Military Denier Cordura Nylon bags/pouches are very usefull pieces of gear.

They already put a weatherproof polyurethane coating on the inside of the bag at the factory, which is great. I just wanted to improve/modify the pouch so it would repel rain water immediately, and in turn create a more mildew resistant bag.

I also wanted to keep the project in a budget; so between a single military sustainment pouch and 1 can of Plasti-dip, I spent less than 15 bucks! That's not too bad considering I've now got one of the most rugged pieces of camping equipment ever made.

These pouches are an ideal survival/bug out item that can easily attach via MOLLE to most military packs, including the Rifleman pack, the ILBE pack, the Patrol pack, etc. You can even put paracord through the molle of a sustainment pouch and use it all by itself as a small stand alone backpack. Use them for dump pouches. Even for the leisurely camping trips, this is an excellent idea for a cargo bag.

My intitial reason for upgrading these bags was to make for a durable, rugged and weatherproof pannier set for my bicycle. If you've ever seen a set of Ortlieb Panniers and the way they repel water, that's basically the same effect I was after. And what I achieved using Plasti-dip on the cordura was a permanent rubberized coating effect.

Maybe give it a try yourself, and be sure to watch the video thoroughly to learn from my experience of executing this project.

I used the spray can version of the popular "Plasti-Dip" found at most hardware stores to act as the waterproofing sealant.

I have a couple of bicycles I keep as get around vehicles and I don't like to get spendy on gear that 'may' be stolen one day. Plus I'm fortunate enough to be inclined to make my own gear and do my own modifications.

Take it for what it is, but you will save money by making your own bicycle accessories...
