It keeps the warmth very well, just as described. The only drawback is that due to its thickness and filling, you need to roll it up tightly so it fits into the hood, which, as an accessory, is very practical.
MFH Israeli Pilot Sleeping Bag - Left Flecktarn
Durable sleeping bag in Flecktarn camouflage, with an envelope shape, ensures a comfortable body position and freedom of movement while sleeping. Its design is based on sleeping bags used by Israeli pilots. It is made of high-quality polyester, while the whole construction is complemented by a durable outer layer and synthetic Hollow Fiber filling.
Temperatures and conditions of use
The operating temperatures of the Pilot sleeping bag as defined in accordance with EN ISO 23537-1:
- T-comfort: 4.9 degrees Celsius - the lowest temperature at which a woman can sleep comfortably through the night,
- T-limit: -0.2 degrees Celsius - the minimum temperature at which a man can sleep through the night without discomfort,
- T-extreme: -15.5 degrees Celsius - the lowest temperature at which survival in the sleeping bag is possible. This is not a value recommended for standard use.
polyester construction
The outer and inner layers are made of durable polyester, which effectively protects against abrasion and mechanical damage while also reducing the risk of further tearing of the fabric.
Hollow Fiber filling
Insulation is provided by a double layer of Hollow Fiber fibers with a grammage of 200 g/m2, distinguished by low weight and very high compressibility. The quilted construction limits fiber shifting, which supports even heat distribution. In addition, the insulation does not become permanently compressed, so it regains its original resilience while remaining breathable and supporting proper air circulation. The insulation retains its thermal insulation properties even after getting wet, washing, and intensive use. The filling does not cause allergic reactions and is suitable for people allergic to down.
two-way zipper
The model is equipped with a two-way zipper with velcro fastening running along the full length. When fully unzipped, the sleeping bag can serve as a blanket or camping tarp. It can also be connected to a second model equipped with a zipper on the opposite side.
Convenient transport and storage
The model works well for transport and storage. After folding and compression, the sleeping bag measures 40 x 25 x 25 cm and weighs 1800 g, making it easy to carry without excessively burdening your equipment.
Set elements
The sleeping bag comes with a transport cover that makes storage and carrying easier. It is placed in the head area, so it can also serve as a pillow.

Flecktarn camouflage
Flecktarn is a classic German military camouflage pattern officially adopted by the Bundeswehr in 1990. The pattern is based on small, irregular spots in five colors - most commonly dark green, olive, brown, black, and beige. Thanks to the arrangement of numerous dots and the blurred transitions between colors, Flecktarn effectively breaks up the user's silhouette both in forest terrain and in brush or against the background of forest litter. The camouflage was developed for European climatic conditions, especially in the temperate zone. Flecktarn remains the standard pattern used by the German army and other military and police formations, and its effectiveness has led to the creation of numerous variants and adaptations in other countries.

Hollow Fiber is a type of synthetic fiber characterized by a hollow space inside the structure. Thanks to this solution, the fibers effectively retain air, which ensures high insulating properties without increasing the weight of the material. The fibers are lightweight, breathable and quick-drying, which is why they are widely used in thermal clothing, sleeping bags and outdoor equipment.

The quality of workmanship is outstanding, the temperature range is great—it works perfectly. Once packed it's a bit large, but that's understandable with such filling weight. The hood is very practical and in my opinion has many uses. Highly recommend.

The sleeping bag is comfortable and functional: well-stitched, the hood/case allows you to turn it into a pillow and it's easy to pack, it has a good temperature range. Durable compression straps make it easy to carry and store, it can be washed and can be easily joined with another (even from many years ago, the same MFH pilot model—confirmed).
