What does DRMO stand for???

[sackett68]

Great bag! I have the old green mummy style Army bag ,and It's my favorite bag. Had it for about 11 years now and it is still going strong.

@sackett68 I will totally agree with you, I do love the old style of sleeping bag as'well most'lee because of the inside meterial esp if you start to sweat, the meterial wicks it away from your skin where the new style sometime's feel's like your laying in wet newspaper! I wear a under shirt when I sleep in the new style and it totally help's 100% :) I still give it a 10/10 because it's so warm and my old style bag only go's to +20* and the new one go's to -30* I have 3 old style bag's just 2b

I have a green army sleeping bag and I use it to hunt in 18 degree I can sit in my stand all day I pull my boots off and bungee them to the back of my stand and get in it with jus my socks and zip it up to my face and I'm good for all day when deer comes up I jus pull the zipper down and stand up grab my bow. I keep it tied to my platform and roll it up and strap it then put my stand together.its wonderful I wouldn't take $200.00 for it.

DRMO stands for Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office or as we military folks call DerMo.

I replied to a guy in ultralight backpacking last night. He thinks that down bags are better than synthetics... Maybe out in the Sierras possibly but add some rain, wet snow or humidity and those "lightweights" are the guys, like a buddy in Search and Rescue says, casualties!

Good review. I have to ask, how many of us backpack in -30 deg wx? Since it's modular you can tailor it to your needs!

The system is very well made, heard its rated to -40 if you wear the thermals.

Only downside is its a very heavy setup for backpacking.

@sxdxfan Defense Reutilization Management Office. When I retired from the Air side of the house (i was supply) they had changed it to DRMS (Defense Reutilization Management Service. Check their sites to find out when they have their auctions. they have them for individuals and business (surplus stores etc). they sell everything from cars to tents to heavy construction equipment. you can get things on massive discount.

I used to be in the Marines in the 90s and had this sleep system and they are good to go! the green bag is what they call a patrol bag its your light weight summer bag then the black is early spring/late fall and then the complete system is winter. and its way better then a ranger roll!!!

I bought one of these 3-piece modular sleeping bag, and have to say it is THE BEST for really cold weather / winter camping. I have already used mine just this last winter in temps down to -20 F and was nice and toasty. With all 3 bags utilized its rated down to -30 F. However, as an additional air gap to my self inflating pad, I also utilize a wool blanket bedding inside the bag with the padding on top.

It costs a lot more, but commercial sleeping bags are far superior to army surplus.

Try a high end Montbell or Mountain Hardwear.
