I don’t know that GBA plus played a factor, stunning as it may be to outside observers this whole “woke army” thing isn’t reality. They are in different sizes though, which as a 6’3 guy is fantastic.Would love to see some pics.

I definitely think it's a good thing for kit and equipment. Different sized people need different sized gear. Not as important as with female body armor and plates maybe but still pretty significant IMO.I don’t know that GBA plus played a factor, stunning as it may be to outside observers this whole “woke army” thing isn’t reality.

As mentioned they come in different sizes and they did look at GBA + in terms of sizing, in the user trials had female representation.Would love to see some pics.

The sleeping bags come in three sizes based on height and chest circumference, Medium, Large, and Extra Large. Not sure of the temperature rating but this is a General Purpose Sleeping Bag System and while it has an inner and outer sleeping bag it is not designed for arctic conditions. DLR and DSSPM have another project, the Extreme Cold Weather Sleeping Bag that will provide sleeping bags for soldiers (and sailors, aviators) operating in arctic conditions.Nice.
How realistic is it to expect we'll get a decent selection of sizes available compared to having a medium-regular bag thrown at us and told that's all that's in stock?
What's the temperature rating?
I just want to say that the most hard core, closest to death course that I have ever done is the Arctic Survival Course in Resolute Bay.Bag, sleeping, RCAF, equivalent...

An RCAF course…
It happened on my serial, too.I know someone who has lost body parts on that course.
Not really hard core, just inattentive and often stoopid cadre.I know someone who has lost body parts on that course.

Stupidly, I left my ”off the books” Black Betty at home and used the issue ThermaRest. Big mistake.The layered sleeping bag system we currently use is still one of the best in the world for extreme cold, IMHO. Especially if used with the good ol' 'Black Betty'

Stupidly, I left the Z-lite at home, too.The T-Rest works OK if you also use a foam 'Z-lite' pad underneath it, which you have to purchase yourself of course
To prevent that your officers and NCOs need to be very attentive to their troops and troops have to be attentive to each other.Not really hard core, just inattentive and often stoopid cadre.

Not in my case. However, at -35C, things can go south in a hurry.Not really hard core, just inattentive and often stoopid cadre.
I've read up on that course and all I can say is holy crap.
