In comparison, M1942 \"Arctic\" sleeping bags prove a bit lighter; the former relying on a bulkier two-case system for down and feathers. Like their predecessors, these too were designed to be used with an optional water-resistant shell. Used in Korea and Vietnam, these bags were ultimately replaced by the \"Extreme Cold Weather Down Sleeping Bag\" in the 70s, itself used until about the 2000s. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese bags are a great piece of Cold War history, offering excellent insulation for a bag of the period. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic USGI \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMost pieces are from the 60s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpect some fill loss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntended for display only \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Americana Pipedream Apparel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48743829504241,"sku":"48743829504241","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7043\/8085\/files\/M1949Bag1.jpg?v=1789411646","url":"https:\/\/www.americanapipedream.com\/products\/issued-usgi-m1949-sleeping-bag","provider":"Americana Pipedream Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
