The sleeping bag (Figure 20-1) is constructed of a 1.65 ounce nylon fabric and utilizes a continuous filament
polyester insulation. The sleeping bag has a double draft tube configuration to improve protection in the slide
fastener area. It also has a full draft collar which protects both the front and the back of the neck. Locking
drawcords are used to adjust tension on the sleeping bag and cover hood. The drawcords are positioned to
allow adjustments to be made from within the bag. The sleeping bag is designed to be used with the insulating
clothing layers of the Extended Cold Weather Clothing System (ECWCS) as supplemental insulation. Addi-
tional shoulder and leg room has been added to the sleeping bag so that a user wearing clothing will be more
comfortable and less likely to compress the loft of tho sleeping bag. The sleeping bag is a part of the Extreme
Cold Weather Sleeping System, NSN 8465-01-306-2681, described in paragraph 20-1a
