Mil-Tec Woodland Commando Sleeping Bag

A lightweight, packable sleeping bag in US M81 Woodland; the camouflage pattern that defined American military service for over two decades. Built for three-season use, compact enough to throw in a pack without thinking about it.

The Pattern

US M81 Woodland is one of the most recognizable camouflage patterns ever produced. Introduced in 1981 as the standard-issue pattern for the US Armed Forces, it replaced the earlier ERDL pattern and served as America's primary military camouflage through Desert Storm, Panama, Somalia, the Balkans, and the early years of the Global War on Terror, a run of more than two decades before being superseded by the UCP digital pattern in 2004. The four-color scheme of black, brown, olive green, and khaki was designed for the temperate and forested environments of Central Europe, and it remains one of the most effective and widely respected woodland patterns in military history.

This is a Mil-Tec commercial product, not genuine US military surplus. What it carries is the pattern's heritage and a straightforward, well-built piece of kit at a price that makes sense.

What It Is

The Commando Sleeping Bag is built for three-season camping, field use, car camping, emergency preparedness, or anyone who wants a compact bag that doesn't demand careful handling. The waterproof, water-repellent polyester shell sheds light moisture and morning dew without the fuss of a dry bag. The soft polyester fill, 150g per square meter, keeps you comfortable down to 15°C (59°F) and functional in temps down to 10°C (50°F). This is a spring, summer, and early fall bag. It is not a cold weather bag.

At 950g, just over two pounds, it packs down to 15.4 x 7 x 7 inches and disappears into the bottom of a pack or the trunk of a car without complaint.

Construction Details

The two-way zipper runs along the left side, allowing ventilation from the foot up or full opening when temperatures climb. A hook-and-loop zipper guard runs the full length to prevent the zipper snagging fabric in the night. A warmth collar along the zipper line blocks cold air from drafting in at the chest, a detail that matters at the lower end of the comfort range. The integral hood cinches with a drawstring for head and neck coverage, and the included stuff sack keeps everything contained and ready to go.

Curious About Sizing?

Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.

Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.

Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.

 

Jacket & Shirt Sizing

In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.

To measure pit to pit, close up your shirt or jacket and measure from armpit to armpit. 

This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:

14"-15" PtP = XXS

16-17" PtP = Extra Small

18"-19" PtP = Small

20-21" PtP = Medium

22-23" PtP = Large

24-25" PtP = Extra Large

26-27" PtP = XXL

28-29" PtP = 3XL

Pant Sizing

We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.

To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.

To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.
