    ajungilak sleeping bag

    All I can say is 5 star, I bought one whilst in the military for Norway, half the weight of the issue bag and I was never to cold, mainly the opposite. Excellent quality, well made and thought out, mine had armpit zips, so you could sit up in it without having to get out and use your arms.
