[Geelong VIC] Swiss Army sleeping bag

One in one out so this has to go
A collectors item really but asking $10- plus postage and pick-up is fine
Manufactured by EGGE in Switzerland in 1966 so one of the first generation of synthetic sleeping bags
While it weighs a tonne by modern standards it was a revelation in military gear way back then, warmer and lighter than 2 woollen blankets and the body conforming mummy shape was efficient
Shaped square foot box and a short centre zip and an attached small hood, generous enough in sizing for most people to wear at least one warm layer inside if needed
Suitable for summer car camping; as museum or better yet cutting up and using as a pattern to make a modern Climasheild clone
These are currently selling for around $35- USD in America

A review here explains it much better than I can
