The procurement agency sleeping bags according to the new technical specification, the press service of the ministry reports.
“The updated sleeping bag has several key improvements. In particular, it is lighter, has a water-repellent cover and is comfortable to use at any temperature. The weight has become less compared to the previous model and should not exceed 3.8 kg,” said Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Dmitry Klimenkov.
For example, the previous version of the sleeping bag was single-layer. The new version consists of three parts: an inner sleeping bag, a liner, and an outer water-repellent cover.
The liner protects the sleeping bag from dirt and natural moisture of the human body from the inside. The outer water-repellent and vapor-permeable cover helps soldiers protect themselves from rain, snow, fog, or wind. /blockquote>
The modular system of the updated sleeping bag allows it to be used in various temperature conditions. For example, indoors, a soldier can sleep only in the inner bag, and outdoors – in a full set. Also, the new sleeping system is sewn from a three-layer fabric with a membrane, which provides high vapor permeability and retains heat.
Thanks to the compression bag of the new model, the sleeping bag can be additionally tightened and attached to the backpack along with a field carpet.
