Comments about French Foreign Legion Sleepingbag:
This bag was a real treat to find. Being 30 years old and actually used, it does has a few issues. They are minor issues that will not impact the use of the bag as they are, or if minor repairs are made.
One product feature that was listed, it has a pocket for a sleeping pad.
It isn't as lightweight as my main backpacking bag is, but for a couple extra pounds, I get more room, comfort, and a lot more durability.
Hopefully they get more in stock so I can get my girlfriend one as well.

Comments about French Foreign Legion Sleepingbag:
This is a very durable, high quality sleeping bag.
I use this sleeping bag whenever I sleep over at someone's house or go camping. What I did not gather from the photos is that it has a heavy rubberized bottom, which is great for keeping dry and giving a little weight to the bag to prevent it from slipping around. Also, the inside is an almost suede-like material which is unique and extremely comfortable with plenty of warmth.
I would recommend this bag for those who don't quite want one of those cold-weather gortex/down sleeping bags where you look like a glow worm with your face peeking out. This one is simple, roomy, turns into it's storage bag, but VERY durable. I could probably use this bag for the next 10+ years.
