This is the genuine US Military Issue Modular Sleeping System. It is comprised of 4 components: A patrol bag good for moderate temperatures down to about 35 degrees. An intermediate bag for colder climates down to about 10 below. A Gortex water and wind proof Bivy used to protect the bags and offer concealment to the user. This bivy is woodland camo. I have other sets in urban grey with the ACU digital bivy Use all three bags together for a rating down to -40 degrees as tested by our military. This is considered to be one of the best systems in the world. A compression bag is the 4th component used to compress the bags for storage during transportation. Note: Never store your bags for long periods of time in the compressed state. I have been told that doing so may cause your set to lose some of its insulating properties. Hang your bags up when not in use or store them in a large tote or container. All bags are in excellent condition to like new condition.
