Description
These are Prototype/Pre-Production USMC 3 Season Sleeping Bags. These bags were designed/trialed by the Marine Corps prior to the adoption of the current 3 Season Sleeping Bag. Most bags feature a handwritten tag at the bags foot indicating its pre-production status. Please note these will have some minor variation from final production bags such as color, zipper location or bivy attachment points. In some case the bags have light staining from use/ testing.
The 3 Season Sleeping Bag is the Marines equivalent to the US Army’s Patrol Sleeping Bag. On its own the USMC 3 Season is rated down to 25 degrees Fahrenheit but when combined with the matching bivy sack, a sleeping pad and proper clothing this rating changes to 5 degrees Fahrenheit. The 3 Season Sleeping Bag features an anti-microbial lining, baffle tubing to trap body heat and a zippered closure. In addition to this the sleeping bags are also wind and water resistant. Overall, these are a great lightweight sleeping bag option for those spring or fall adventures.
