I have for sale a current issue MCSS (modular combat sleep system) British army Sleeping bag made by the Austrian manufacturer Carinthia.

It is the british army's version of the US modular sleep system.
It comprised of two sleeping bags; warm weather and standard. Which zip together to form a cold weather bag rated to -20c.

the sleeping bag zips go all the way round so the bags can be opened out and used as a blanket in warm weather ( same as the standard warm weather sleeping bag that has been on issue to the British army for years)

Sleeping bags have mesh pockets either side of the zips inside

Removable foot box:- so you can wear your boots in the sleeping bag if you wish.

two compression stuff sacks; small one for one bag and a big one for the entire system.

It is the medium size system so is desined for a person up to 6ft in height. it is very roomy which is the reason I am selling it as it too big for me.

Blue thing in the picture is a pillow that I used to show the opening of the bag. this is obviously not included in the sale


I would like £100 inc Royal Mail postage for the set.

Payment by paypal please gift payment.

I am away Monday to wednesday but can post any time after those days.

Sorry but my comment posted before I finished my question?
1-How much does it weigh; Both the total system weight and each individual bag weight?
2-Do you have pis of the two bags seperated?
3-Does it come with a bivi? If so do you have a pic and is it GoreTex?
4-Is the temperature rating the same as the US one? If not, what is it?
 
The standard bag is rated for 5c and the cold weather bag is rated for -8c. Both together they are rated for -20c.
The system doesn't come with a bivi bag.
I can weigh and measure the pack size tonight when i get home from work.
