Era & Design: Featuring the retro EMS branding typical of the mid‑1990s, this bag captures the rugged spirit of early Eastern Mountain Sports down gear.
Insulation & Warmth: Filled with high‑loft duck or goose down (likely in the 550–600 fill‑power range common at the time), it was engineered for temperatures near 0°F. While modern sleeping bags boast higher fill and lighter weight, this one remains impressively warm for its age.
Shell & Shape: Crafted in a traditional mummy silhouette, the bag features sewn‑through or box baffle construction. Its fabric is heavier and thicker than today’s Pertex or sil‑nylon materials, giving it a solid, durable feel.
Condition: Remains in excellent vintage shape—no visible wear, stains, or down loss. It still retains loft and texture that suggest good preservation of insulation—even after 30 years.
Estimated Specs:
Approx. weight: likely between 3.5 and 4.5 lb (based on vintage EMS examples).
Stuff size: around football or basketball-sized when compressed.
Rating: Officially 0°F, though user experiences often note it feels more like a 10–20°F bag depending on personal warmth and conditions.
