      CONDITION GUIDE

      Grade 1 means good used condition with signs of light wear typical of used military equipment - the bags are likely to feature names and unit markings written or painted onto the hood portion. They may be dusty and need a clean. It is possible they may have very small holes (such as from an ember off a fire) or have some small marks on (which would not affect the usability or functionality of the bag). Grade 1 will have fully functioning zips and are free from any large rips, tears or holes. They may just need an air out and then will be ready to use!

      Grade 2 means poor used condition with heavier signs of wear, or alterations - in addition to writing, names, marks, staining and holes; Grade 2 sleeping bags may have damaged zippers, loose stitching, rips and tears. Sleeping bags may require repairs before they are fit for use and you are purchasing a Grade 2 Item in the knowledge that the item has damage. The price of a Grade 2 sleeping bag is an appropriate reflection of the item's condition. 58 Pattern sleeping bags in Grade 2 condition may be missing the original hood/compression sack part which are sometimes deliberately removed for field use.
