History
A really rugged British-made sleeping bag using the best materials for durability and warmth. Down and feather-filled, mostly made by Chelsea Quilt but others did make them, including some Dutch companies.
Issued from 1958 up to the 90s, this was the definitive sleeping bag for sleeping outdoors, with a military waterproof base and roll up hood attached. Designed to bivvy out with just a poncho covering the top. Press studs attached to fit the poncho.
