I'll check out more reviews of them.
Yes you would be wise to layer up in it - something I never done as a soldier , remove anything before hitting the old 'gonk' bag.
If my combats were wet - quickest way to dry them was to sleep in them , likewise trousers - boots stayed on no matter what.
Waterproof wise it was as good as or better than the 58 pattern bag , thermal properties aren't great , its a parka first - sleeping bag second - but as I've said - as a temporary sleep system only used while you're on the move - then its very versatile indeed.
Trying very hard not to be paranoid.....and it aint getting easier.
