I was just browsing and came accross this. (http://www.surplusandadventure.com/ishop/800/shopscr3031.html)
I can't use down as but for those who can I thought you might like to see it.

Looks like the Snugpak "-50" Antarctica bag to me. If so, then I strongly advise all to keep well away... I tested one in the arctic for a friend, after just one hour I thought "¤¤¤¤ this" and got back into my Nanok, which is rated -25 and was many times warmer. And it was not more than about -22 that night. Maybe it's a good bag for somewhere of moderate cold and extreme dry weather, but I would not be confident in it below -12 or -15, never mind -50. :nono:

I have never been inpressed with snugpak ags, my "4 season" is reserved as a nice small bag for summer trips
That's a good find James :biggthump , the bag itself doesnt look too bad, not overly lofted, but not too bad. The Bivvi bag looks like it is the old issue green one (which I personally prefer). It would probably be difficult to get a combination like that for the money.

Are they down and are they on issue to the Norwegian military. If it is a Snugpac and it is neither down or on issue to the Norwegian military, they could be in serious trouble on trades descriptions, but it's a good point Arctic Hobo and well brought out :biggthump

Why not phone and ask them it could be exactly as described.
It is much better to ask rather than make assumptions.
