Description
One lonely Grade 2 EXTREME sleeping bag!
This poor fellow lets the team down with a few defects - it has permanent marker to one side of the toebox, a pretty good repair at the toe end by the zipper and a nick in the zipper flap to the interior - see the last 2 images. Go on, take him home and snuggle up toasty. Save a few bucks and our warehouse team some space!
This Extreme Cold Weather sleeping bag from the USA means business, they really are extreme. Weighing in at just over 4 and a half kilos, this bad boy is not for your summer hikes and was rated for temperatures as low as -20F (nearly -30 Celsius for kiwi-speak)!
These thick, lofty, groovy cocoons were issued from the 70's up until around the 2000's - keeping troops warm for ages. Featuring the tapered mummy/sarcophagus shape for heat retention, these are quilted, insulated with feather down and have polyester batting in the storm flap. These have a roomy canoe-shaped toe box too. The exterior is constructed from a water repellant, durable poplin cotton and has two very handy ties for securing when rolled up. Keeping these sleeping bags in optimal condition for such harsh environments required a few rules for use, as noted on legible inner tags.
These are becoming harder to find and our small batch are in Good condition, varying in a range of dates and manufacturers. Pick up one of these old school olive extreme sleeping bags if you long to sleep snuggly in the cold (or just love wicked gear).
