    Artic British Army sleeping bag

    Not that I needed another sleeping bag but this has potential.
    Synth fiilled, TOP side center zipper, -20c/-4f.
    I don't use the UQs or the top quits and have been able to do 18 degree nights with my ECW surplus bag and an air matt/pad in an open top hammock.
    The center pull zippered bags are far and few in between
    So I re-homed this one today. Sides all the above it is heavy and fits right in with my pound hawg gear.

    I bought the USGI ICW bag, and it's not big enough for me.

    It was dark last night when I got home..I will get some pics this weekend of it.
    This bag has way more shoulder room than the ICW and the ECW.

    Nice!

    I see that, unlike the USGI bags, a large size is available for folks up to 6'6".

    Unfortunately, I can't find a source.

    I have the elite 1 bag bought it as a lightweight chubby guy bag. I'll be trying it out as a TQ once a little better weather comes my way.

    Of over a dozen sleeping bags I. Have collected so far I like this one best.
    We all know that cold back and shoulder feeling just after a few minutes even on a 60 degree night.

    This past weekend I spent from Friday night through last night sleeping in this bag. Temps were from 58 to 62 at night. This is the first bag that no other additives (pads, liners, or extra blankets) were needed.
    just the hammock and the sleeping bag. And a tarp Saturday night and Sunday night a lil rain.
    We don't have many cold.days left....the "red buds" have already started to bloom. But I think this sleeping bag has a home.
