used and repaired review by steven on 10/10/2016
mine was repaired (stitched up tear), well used, moderately soiled,and did not have a stuff sack, also it did not have the amount of loft i would expect from an arctic bag. all said and done with shipping i feel like over paid by 30 to bucks. not worth the shipping and hassle to send it back. first purchase from (keepshooting.com) im not happy with.

Mixed bag review by Cary on 10/6/2016
Purchased 2 of these bags. One was larger than the other. The smaller was marked Medium. The larger had a tag that was too far gone to read. The medium was in good shape except for a broken zipper at the bottom which I should be able to fix. The larger is OK. The bags are different colors. Having been in the arctic, it is a good bag for 3 seasons, the dead of winter might be a problem. For most people it should be a good bag. The bags are about 23 years old.

Nice quality sleeping bag.... review by Garth on 10/4/2016
But first things first: it's inside out. This must occur when the bags are turned in at end of service and surplused out. The pockets go on the inside, as well as the zipper pull.
Okay, that said, it's a really nice sleeping bag. Mine had a broken draw string in the hood which I easily replaced with paracord and a pair of cord locks. Even if it wasn't broken I would have replaced it because it's kinda like a cheap shoe string.
But that's the only thing cheap about the bag. The rest of it is of robust construction, nice heavy zipper, quality stitching, excellent insulation.
And it's roomy. It's a nice bag at a great price. Too bad it doesn't come with the issued compression sack, but I think the US 9 strap sack is superior, and you can get a decent one of those off of ebay to use with this bag. -
light weight and warm! review by Zachary on 10/4/2016
I received this today, and it is really warm! Its light weight design would allow for easy backpacking. I own a duck feather sleeping bag, and I swear this is warmer. I would buy again. Thank you!
