Swedish members - Sleeping bag question

[barryasmith]

Hi there,

A question for any Swedish members that know about military kit...

Can anyone tell me about this bag:

Im interested to know if its suitable for extreme cold (ie -25 and beyond).

All the best.

Thanks

Barry

It looks like the down bags I was issued a long time ago, for winter they came with a syntethic bag as well. If it´s the same ones we were issued these are not very good and mig be warm down to 0 but not much more. The problem with them is that the stitching goes through the bag and does nog give you much loft. The waterproof carry sack is just like a pillow case and not very good either.
For -25 or colder i would like at the civilian market that does a lot better bags. Whn it´s really cold, the sleeping bag will be the most important thing you bring along.

Hi Viking, Thanks for the info. That's exactly what I needed to know. I currently have a nanok -25 endurance for arctic use which I will stick with. I've been looking for a down alternative but it appears this isn't the one.

Many thanks

Barry
