AMAZON US MILITARY ISSUE - ECWS WOODLAND MODULAR SLEEPING BAG SYSTEM 4 PIECES 71

This item is a "must-have" for every prepper or anyone thinking about hiking or camping. These sleeping bag systems don't stand a chance against anything else. You can tell the high quality of the system right off the bat and keep in mind that the US troops use these systems overseas. I've spoken to my friends that are veterans and they also agreed that no other sleeping systems even comes close. If you live in a warmer climate, you would be fine with even the intermediate bag, the patrol bag, or even the bivvy cover if it's really warm. Keep in mind that when talking about survival, you have 3 sleeping bags in this system. Even using the bivvy cover as a sleeping bag and putting a pad or tarp underneath it will go a long way. You can use this system without a tent or a tarp because the bivvy cover makes it waterproof. This sleep system enables you to sleep comfortably in rain, wind, snow, or any other conditions comfortably. Brand new, these sleeping systems are extremely expensive but definitely worth every dollar. A best bet would be to buy a lightly used system or a "very good" condition system for a fraction of the brand-new price and still have all the benefits that this product offers. Keep in mind that this system weighs close to 12 lbs with everything if weight is a factor for you. Also since the bivvy can be used as a makeshift sleeping bag by putting a tarp or a pad underneath and having some kind of cover, you actually have 3 sleeping bags for 3 people in a chaotic scenario or if someone forgot to bring their sleeping bag.

First of all this is the first product review I have ever written on Amazon. I have shopped on the Amazon website for a number of years and always look over user reviews before making my decision to purchase products.I love this sleeping bag system. It is so simple but yet very effective and versatile. With the four piece modular system you get a green patrol bag, black intermediate bag, a gortex bivy cover and a compression sack to store everything. This system allows you to use one or multiple pieces together depending on weather conditions. The green bag is good for temps down to 30 deg. The black bag is good for temps from 30 deg. down to negative 10 deg. Put both together and it will be good to negative 40-50 degrees. The bivy is a water resistant cover that will keep everything dry.I have tried the black intermediate bag with the bivy twice. My first try was a back yard trial when the temp. started at about 45 degrees and got down to about the mid to upper 30's. I used a cot and a Thermarest Ridge Rest Solar Sleeping Pad. I actually left much of the side unzipped for ventilation and I was plenty warm all night. I think I could have used the green patrol bag and been just fine.The second try was camping with temps starting at 40 deg and dropping to 28 deg the next morning. This was only my second time tent camping. I was in a Coleman Hooligan 2 tent sleeping on the ground with the Thermarest pad for cushion and insulation. Again I used the black bag with bivy cover. At first I was very comfortable and slept well. I had left the bag partially unzipped and by morning the temp had dropped enough for frost to be on the outside of the tent. The wind had also picked up slightly so it was getting a little cool but not cold. Part of this was due to a rookie mistake. I should have had my feet facing into the wind so the cool air would not get into the opening of the bag. I was impressed with the bag and would use it again.After reading mostly positive reviews for the product my only hold up was buying a used or like new item. The condition from the seller was listed as "New Old Stock- Never issued, never used, not individually packaged. May show signs of extended storage in boxed, bulk government storage. Crisp and clean genuine military surplus. May contain manufacturer/government markings." When mine arrived it was exactly as described or better. It had now signs of use and everything worked as it was supposed to.I am 5' 10" and the bag is very comfortable for me. It is a mummy style bag with extra insulation at the feet and a draw string hood. My brother is about 6' 2" and was hesitant to order until he tried mine. He does not have a lot of extra room left over but said it works for him. He ordered one and is also pleased with it.Overall I am very happy with this sleeping bag system. I hope my review will help you make your decision whether or not this will work for you. I think for the price of new never used item it is definitely worth considering.

I did some shopping around and found a used military surplus ecws for $60. It came with everything and in excellent shape. Its a little on the heavy side and also a little bulky but absolutely worth it. I tested it. I did not use the goretex bivvy or a ground pad and made it through a night of -20 ferenheight. I wasn't comfortable but I survived it. I was clothed and was wearing a hat and parka. Had I had an insulated platform to sleep on I believe I would have stayed completely warm through the night. At 30 to zero degrees tho this bag is fine without any ground pad in my experience. Its worth every penny of $300, I however paid much less and used my savings for a snugpak ionosphere that I have yet to test. I also tested out the green bag alone and it is excellent for summer night sleeping temperatures upward of 40 degrees. It is not as effective as the older extreme cold weather down sleeping bag, which I have slept in negative -60F on one occassion. But still quite a performer over extremely expensive bags that don't have the versatility.

The bags were ok, repair was made to the patrol bag. The bivy on the other hand, which is supposed to be water proof, had repair patches that were not put on right, they literally peeled off like stickers. I had to buy a new bivy for the bag.

Livré rapidement, en super état ! Merci beaucoup !

Inspected carefully and found that it was more than I expected. Look forward to using this bag for years to come in all four season Alberta Canada gets.

J’aime bien le sac mais malheureusement j’ai dû payer des frais d’importation de 110$ pour des bottes de cuir(c’est ce qui est écrit sur la facture). Un peu frustrant car aucun rapport avec un sac de couchage. j’ai maintenant l’impression de me faire arnaquer! Dommage!
