These folks have a nice price on a never issued patrol bag...the outer bag of the 4 part modular system. Thoug I have yet to confirm it, the one I have seems plenty warm for moderate temps and light, a bit bulky but light. Have never issued ICWs too.

the patrol bag is not bulky at all its comparable to my old 30* down bag. the patrol bag and bivvy fit snug in an 8x14 stuff sack, it is a little heavier than the down, but down south alot more trustworthy. as for the ICW it fits nice in a 10x20 sack, and has a double weight foot box. both bags are massive I am 6'1" and could swim in them. the new bags are a vast improvement over the old canvas monsters.
I see the sleep system at MI has a right hand zipper.
Has the system changed from the center zip?
Or am I confused again

Just looked at the link Dave posted.
DUH! on me
I thought the ICW was a part of the modular system...
Doesn't look to be..
Great price on the patrol bag...10 for $100... at MI

yes they completely redesigned the system, the new one has a 3/4 right zipper, a far superior fill, and weighs half as much. not to mention the size difference.
