New British Arctic Bag Source

[campj]

I'm looking for unissued British Arctic sleeping bag

http://www.militarymart.co.uk/index.php?_a=product&product_id=2058
Military Mart have some that may be unissued

Guards Army Gear have the correct description but the photo is incorrect


Ideally I'd like a bag with a full length zip, any suggestions?

Keep an eye on on these guys...http://stores.ebay.co.uk/British-Army-Surplus-Store/Camping-Sleeping-Bivi-Bags-/_i.html?_fsub=786835013&_sid=892095603&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322 I got a brand new un issued bag from them for £30. Hard to believe but it's true. It was still in the bag and the original manufacturers box from Seyntex. It might be worth giving them a call.

Buying second hand is hit n miss. Even if it's in good visible condition it may have been laundered to oblivion. My first one was listed as grade one and looked in great nick but I froze in it one night at 0 degrees. I haven't been cold in the new one yet and I do a fair bit of outdoors in winter.

Silvermans also sell them new but they charge £120 for them. Also try and get the newer issue with Arctic on the label. Some say they are the same as the 95 bag with but I say they're different. Hope that helps.

Thanks Dave, I'll pop them a message
EDIT: Just to confirm, your bag has the flag that covers the zip?

Bit too far for me MT

Yes mate it has a zip baffle.

Unfortunately the eBay store couldn't guarantee the zip length, nor did they know when or if any unissued bags would be in
