I have one that looks for all intents and opurposes life the Defense 4, just without the branding. Got it for a song from a mate who swapped it for something else while on deployment OS. That is true. The Defence 4 is the Danish military issue bag. But other countries' military use it too, I believe.

I totally agree. I'd rather have one layer below me than two layers above. I've had hypothermia and it was the result from cold and wet earth sucking the heat from my body.

However, when temperatures drop, and if you do not have a long fire going in front of you, you need to carry a lot of weight in wool, in order to keep warm.
