Following on from my sleeping mat query, I'm seriously thinking about upgrading my sleeping bag (ancient british army bag iirc) to one of the two bag modular systems.
The options seem to be
U.S. Army Modular sleep system
British army modular sleep system
Dutch army modular sleep system
Are the latter two exactly the same? They both appear to have the same specifications and be designed by Carinthia, so I'm assuming they're basically the same.
If I was in the US it would be a no brainier, the U.S. One is cheap as chips over there and comes with the goretex.
However I'm in the UK so I'm tending towards the Dutch one as its the cheapest I can find.
What sort of pack size is the minimum you can compress these down to, with both bags together?
I assume the Carinthia one works with the regular NATO goretex bivvy bags, is that correct?
Anyone tried the US and Carinthia versions, is there any major advantage/disadvantage to either?
