Wwii Us Army Air Force Arctic Sleeping Bag A-3 With Full System

IN 1941 A MUMMY TYPE BAG CONSISTING OF AN INNER AND OUTER SHELL AND AN ATTACHED HEAD CANOPY WAS DESIGNED FOR THE SKI TROOPS. IN 1942 THEY REFINED THE OLDER SYSTEM SIMPLIFYING THE WHOLE SLEEPING BAG PROVIDING UNITS THAT COULD BE USED BY ALL TROOPS OPERATING IN COLD CLIMATES. IN 1942 THE NEWLY MOUNTAIN SLEEPING BAG WAS DEVELOPED AND DESIGNED TO BE ISSUED TO MOUNTAIN TROOPS AS AN ITEM COMPLETE WITHIN ITSELF.

THE MOUNTAIN SLEEPING BAG HAD ONLY 1 DOWN AND FEATHER FILLED CASE WHEREAS THE ARCTIC A-3 SLEEPING BAG CONSISTED OF 2 DOWN AND FEATHER FILLED CASES FOR USE IN EXTREME COLD TEMPERATURES. A FULL LENGTH ZIPPER IS USED TO CLOSE THE QUILT SHAPE OUTER BAG. A WATERPROOF WRAP CASE, WITH FLAPS AND TIE TAPES IS PROVIDED FOR CARRYING BOTH ROLLED BAGS. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE WWII ARCTIC US AIR FORCE, ARMY FULL SYSTEM SLEEPING BAG. IT COMES WITH ALL 3 PIECES WHICH IS VERY HARD TO FIND ESPECIALLY IN THIS NM/MINT CONDITION.
