British jersey, man's, blue-gray, surplus
A heavy round neck jumper, as used by the British Army. The same model sees service in the Finnish army too. This is just the stuff you want for cold winter months. Snug fit!
NVA shelter half, Strichtarn, surplus
One of the most versatile items issued in the NVA, although patterned more like the Soviet model. Or the Great War model, depending on your historical preferences.
Soviet Plash-palatka, rain cape/shelter half, surplus
A truly versatile piece of kit. Like most shelter halves used by armies worldwide, the Soviet model bends to a multitude of uses.
Mil-Tec sleeping mat, Olive Drab
The most basic sleeping mat is a piece of foam plastic. Affordable, but not really that high quality. However holes and damage do not alter the function much.
Finnish sleeping mat
Now, if there's something the Finnish army can do right, it's the sleeping gear. Our kip mat is the best one we've ever seen, to be honest. These are made by the official army contractor, Savotta. You can see from the price you've got quality coming.
Jämä Blanket Shirt
A proper bushcrafty Blanket Shirt, a primite "low-tech" design where the superior natural qualities of wool combined with simple yet clever details make for a very functional outdoors jacket. These are sewn by us using good quality military surplus wool blankets!
Duvet cover & pillow case, M05 camo patterns
Finally a proper good set of everynight sleeping accessories. There's just one downside - you might not find your bed anymore thanks to the Finnish M05 camo! On the upside if you manage to get between these, no-one can find you either.
If you want to boycott Poland, buy this Bulgarian wool blanket instead! These don't have a strong smell and are wonderfully plain in colour as well.
Before the time of sleeping bags, virtually all armies issued wool blankets to soldiers. Even today a wool blanket has its virtues: it's robust and fire retardant, easy to care, easy to throw on like a cape and allows rapid deployment in case of an alarm. Of course sleeping bags have a way more better warmth-to-weight ratio than blankets, never forget.
Measures roughly 200 x 160 cm, can vary a bit, weight about 1,5 kg.
These blankets seem fully woollen or maybe with a small amount of acrylic. It lets moisture through to keep you dry, but provides some insulation even when wet. Although if you find yourself trying to sleep under a wet blanket, you probably did something wrong.
Bulgarian surplus
These seem unused or at have seen bunk use at most - definitely never fielded in rough conditions. The only smell we could detect was a hint of naphtalene.

3.5/5
Word of warning though, be careful washing and drying these as a lot of loose material may come off during the first wash if you don't use the gentle/wool cycle on them.
