The Backcountry Body Bag is our lightest full zip sleep system, made with a continuous filament non-quilted Climashield Apex 6oz synthetic insulation, RhinoSkin 30d Ripstop Nylon shell for lightweight durability, and heavy duty YKK zippers. This was originally a special design request from the 10th Mountain ODA teams as an improved Doobie with a full zip closure, tapered fit to keep size and weight restraints in mind, and for use as a stand alone sleeping bag or ground cloth.
The Backcountry Body Bag is an ideal choice for the warmer months and early archery seasons where a full baffled mummy bag isn't needed. The tapered rectangular design of this bag means you won’t have the fully enclosed mummy style hood for head coverage in cooler temps, but that can be remedied by wearing a puffy jacket with a hood or a beanie to cover the shoulder and head areas.
There are paracord tabs sewn along the edges to make it easy to tie on bungie keepers for your sleeping pad and the integrated drawstring sack sewn along the top edge can be stuffed with clothes to use as a pillow and won’t wander off in the middle of the night.
Made for the ounce counters, minimalists or soldiers with limited pack space that need a multi-use piece of insulation equipment a step more advanced than a Woobie or Doobie to catch some zzz’s and get out of the elements.
