Description
Czech Layered Sleep System
This is a Czech Army sleeping bag built from three separate pieces: an olive drab outer shell, a green pile blanket liner and a light blue woven sheet liner. The layers snap together into one bag, or you can use them on their own as the weather changes. That makes it a practical choice for campers, preppers and anyone who wants a rectangular bag they can adjust instead of buying one bag for summer and another for the shoulder seasons.
Features
- Three Piece Construction — The outer shell, blanket liner and sheet liner are separate components, so you choose how much insulation goes into the bag each night.
- Olive Drab Outer Shell — The padded shell is a smooth synthetic fabric in a muted military green that blends into a campsite or vehicle.
- Green Pile Blanket Liner — A thick, soft pile layer fits inside the shell for extra warmth and also works as a standalone camp blanket.
- Removable Sheet Liner — The light blue woven sheet sits against your skin and comes out on its own for washing, which keeps the insulated layers cleaner.
- Snap Fastener Attachment — Rows of metal press studs around the edges hold the liners in place so they do not bunch up or twist overnight.
- Rectangular Envelope Cut — The roomy rectangular shape gives more space to move your legs than a tapered mummy bag and opens flat as a quilt.
- Webbing Compression Strap — An olive webbing strap cinches the rolled bag into a compact bundle for carrying or storage.
- End Carry Loops — Webbing loops at the ends of the rolled bag give you points to hang it or lash it to a pack frame.
- Government Issue Markings — The sheet liner carries original inked stamps and stock numbers applied when the bag was made for the Czech military.
Czech Army Issue
This bag was made for the Czech armed forces, not a commercial copy built to look military. The modular layout follows a common European army approach: a shell for the basic layer, a blanket for cold nights and a washable sheet for hygiene in the field. Collectors and reenactors value the original stamps, and outdoor users get a bag designed for soldiers who sleep rough for days at a time.

Great concept!I really like this bag. The ability of being able to set it up with both liners or just one is great. I'm 6 ft and about 260 lbs, with wide shoulders. The bag is great everywhere but the shoulders where it is snug. Probably not an issue for most as most bags I've used are snug in the shoulders for me. Not biggie as prefer to sleep with my arms out side the bag. Bag arrived in great condition with no signs of use. Does take a while to bottom the liners in (15 min or so). Actually planning to buy a couple more.

Excellent Sleeping BagFirst of all, KeepShooting was once again very expeditious in their processing and shipping of my item. Upon opening the box I was not overcome with the normal "surplus smell", but it was there. I went ahead and aired out all three of the layers outside for a while before I machine washed the two inner layers. After air-drying those, I snapped it all back in the shell. All three layers are like new and the only thing I can see at all are some handling marks on the outer shell. As a 5'10" man, I fit perfectly inside this thing. The linen inner sheet makes the experience fairly comfortable and not at all itchy (as the wool would be). This bag is a great value and a very interesting and comfortable concept from the Czech Military. Another great product from KS!

ExcellentThese are very well made, and I love the concept of washable liners. I think all this has been covered in the product spec, and reviews data, but I will add my comments anyway. First, there are two interior liners. The external 'bag'is some sort of plastic or nylon. The two interior liners button into this one. You could choose to only use one of these for light summer evenings. It takes a good ten minutes or so to button them in, and the buttons and button holes are sturdy. It takes only a few minutes to unbutton them. The interior liner (the one which will be adjacent to the body of the user) appears to be linen or a linen cotton mix. It is very comfortable though not satin smooth (a good thing from my perspective, but then I like rough towels and use a nylon pot scrubber for exfoliation in the shower). The thick blanket liner appears to be synthetic. I burned some fibers to see and it was definitely not vegetable or animal fibers. I ordered two of these. One was just a bit mildewy smelling so I washed both liners - in warm water. I dried the synthetic in the drier on warm, like any blanket of this nature. I let the inner liner air dry (spread out) for a few hours and then gave it 5 minutes in the drier on low to drive out any residual moisture. (I was paranoid about it shrinking.) Then repacked it. The other one didn't have any smell at all, so I didn't do anything with it except repack it. I think this is an excellent system and really prefer it to regular stuffed sleeping bags. I concur with the reviewer that said you could probably add a blanket if you needed to, for colder climates. I'll add though that if one had basic sewing skills it would be very feasible to use the inner liner as a template to make a duplicate out of a thicker blanket, or to add an additional blanket to the other one, by quilting it on... All in all a really nice system and well worth the money.

Roomy and ComfortableI'm 6'2" and 240lbs, and this bag was just big enough for me. With both my arms at my sides, the shoulder area was close to maxed out, but I was still comfortable. I haven't done any temperature testing, but it seems like it would be easy to add another wool or fleece blanket on the inside to help out with that. Also, I really liked how it rolled up into it's own hood with the strap already right there. Another massive plus is that when you get home and it's dirty from camping, all you have to wash is a linen sheet that buttons right back in. I really like it and can't wait to try it out in the field.
