Stayed warm and dry in damp, 40 degree weather,
I took this bag out to test in 40 degree weather recently. Stayed very warm! When a friend of mine who used to be in the military found out that I had purchased this bag for the winter expedition that I am going on soon, she assured me that I would be very warm and dry in this bag. She said that she slept very warm and cozy in 4 degree weather!
Pros:
-Warm
-high quality zippers
-can add/remove layers to adjust temperature
-comfortable
-didn’t get ‘tangled up’ when moving around in bag
-stayed dry in the bag even though it was raining and damp outside
Cons:
-bulky
-little heavy when carrying all three bags
-compression sack not water proof. I just lined the compression sack with a couple of garbage bags though.
I do wonder if there are any similar sleeping bag systems out there that are lighter than this system. However, I am still very pleased with my purchase.

|-20 degrees NO PROBLEM,
I LIVE IN THE CENTER OF THE USA at 9000 feet. It can get to -20 to -40 here. I live in a cabin on top of a mountain. That being said…I turn of the heater, turn off the furnace and zip up 1 or 2 of the zippers and I am quite warm for the night. I save money on fire-wood, propane and electricity not needing to heat my cabin when I am in this bag. This is my second one. I bought this one as a spare. This Amazon deal is the best one out there.

|Bombproof,
Excellent piece of goverment surplus. I really like this system,yes I know it’s heavy and cumbersome,this thing just feels durable. I am 5’11 3/4 in
tall 215 lbs and I would say I am at the limit of this bag being comfortable height wise.I will be using this system for winter open shelter camping
in Washington State.Weight Weenie’s refer to second sentence of paragraph.I like quality outdoor gear;Hilleberg Jannu tent,Feathered Friends raven bag and helios vest,Dead Bird gore-tex outerwear,and now a USGI MSS.Seriously you won’t find anything more versatile and durable without spending big $$$.
