The Canadian Army sleeping bag system, also known as the Sleeping System Outfit, Extreme Cold Weather or the SSOECW, typically consists of three main insulation/barrier layers that form a modular system. The system is designed to be used in various combinations, with all components used together for extreme Arctic conditions down to -50°C. 

 

They are a tried and true piece of Canadian kit that has been used by the Canadian forces since the 1960s.

 

They Contain:

 

  • Inner Bag: A down-filled mummy-style bag.

  • Outer Bag: A slightly wider down-filled mummy bag, allowing the inner bag to be nested inside.

  • Liner: A cotton or flannel liner that serves to keep the bags clean and provide additional comfort/warmth.

  • Bivy Bag (Gore-Tex): A waterproof and breathable outer shell that acts as the final barrier against snow, wind, and rain.

  • Detachable Hood: A synthetic-insulated hood to seal the system around the head

  • Compression Storage Bag 

 

While we generally sell them as a 6-piece system, we do offer the option to buy each piece separately in order to customize pre-existing sleep systems, or to accommodate your seasonal needs!
