I'm curious if anybody has one of these. They are on sale for $150 which is $100 off.
I have a legit MSS I bought years ago, and wish I'd bought more, but more. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/101624124?pid=354842 |

One of the reviews is saying it is a nock off and not military, not happy with construction and quality
One is very happy with it |

I paid 150 for both of mine at a milsurp store.
I'd rather get the real thing. |

It's too heavy and bulky for the price. You can find a better sleeping bag (less bulk, less weight, better temp rating) on clearence/sale at an outfitter or hiking store. Combine that with a good sleeping pad and you are g2g.

I was thinking the surplus MSS were ~$600, but looks like they can be had for $229. If y'all have a better/cheaper source, I'd appreciate it.

Wiggys are worth their weight in gold.
Carinthia sleeping bags are also very good from what I have seen. Can be found for a nice price. https://m.carinthiashop.com/en/military-sleeping-bags? |

Buy just the bivy sack and use a right-zip down bag inside it. Something like a Cumulus Teneqa 850 should fit just fine, and you’ll be much happier than with that heavy setup that takes up half your pack.

Anytime they say " military style" that should be a red flag that its not a true NSN item

I would suggest just getting a real bivy bag in good condition and use it with a commercial sleeping bag…… or whatever depending on temperatures / weather/etc.
Really depends on your goals and ability to carry it all. |

Far too much bag for 99% of intended use. Though they can be had pretty cheap in milsurp stores.
