Direct Action Messenger Bag in Black is a military tactical messenger bag built for Singapore-style daily carry: compact, organised, and durable for city commutes, training days, and travel. Made with 500D Cordura® nylon and a DWR water-resistant coating, it balances ruggedness with a clean profile that works as an everyday EDC shoulder bag.
Important note: New shipment may come without the Direct Action logo (wording only). This does not affect function or specifications.
