These were early intermediate cold sleeping bags that seem to manifest distinctly vintage USGI bag traits with more modern synthetic insulation. Heavier than contemporary bags, the durable cotton\/nylon shell and dense insulation make for solid, warm bags, tougher than their modern equivalents. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:27;771-797\" class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe bag before the MSS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-sourcepos=\"15:1-15:627;799-1425\" dir=\"ltr\" class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBefore the Army split cold-weather sleep gear into separate modular pieces in the late 1980s, this was the bag. It was issued as a single, self-contained cold-weather bag rather than one component of a layered system, and it was manufactured under a string of Defense Supply Agency contracts through the early and mid 1980s by makers including Tennier Industries and Cecile Industries. Once the MSS arrived with its lighter ripstop nylon components, bags like this one were slowly phased out of standard issue, which is part of why surplus examples today usually show real service wear rather than sitting in unissued storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-sourcepos=\"17:1-17:31;1427-1457\" class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBuilt heavy, built to last\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-sourcepos=\"19:1-19:489;1459-1947\" dir=\"ltr\" class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe shell is a water-repellent, wind-resistant cotton and nylon oxford blend in olive drab, quilted through with synthetic polyester batting for insulation that still performs even if it gets damp. The mummy hood cinches down with a drawcord, and the closure runs a center-front zipper backed by snap fasteners for extra security on cold nights. It's noticeably heavier than a modern synthetic bag of similar warmth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-sourcepos=\"25:1-25:24;2731-2754\" class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe short and sweet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-sourcepos=\"27:1-37:78;2756-3339\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-sourcepos=\"27:1-27:64;2756-2819\" class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eGenuine USGI\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-sourcepos=\"30:1-30:72;2883-2954\" class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eManufacturer: Tennier Industries or Cecile Industries (varies by bag)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-sourcepos=\"31:1-31:51;2955-3005\" class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eShell: water-repellent cotton\/nylon oxford blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-sourcepos=\"34:1-34:20;3126-3145\" class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eIconic OD Green \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-sourcepos=\"35:1-35:39;3146-3184\" class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eStyle: mummy bag, one universal size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-sourcepos=\"36:1-36:77;3185-3261\" class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBest suited for: car camping, canoe\/base camp use, cold garages and cabins\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Americana Pipedream Apparel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48433105895665,"sku":"48433105895665","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7043\/8085\/files\/USGIIntermediateSleepingBag1.jpg?v=1784732591","url":"https:\/\/www.americanapipedream.com\/products\/vintage-usgi-intermediate-cold-sleeping-bag","provider":"Americana Pipedream Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
