Sleeping Bags


Whistler

Recommended Posts

I use a Vango viper 1000 which is an excellent bag but they dont make them anymore :thumbsd:

Just make sure you do your research on whatever you choose as to what the real compfort rating is and to what standard.

There's a ripper of a second hand Mont bag soon to finish on ebay:

Here's another one Glen:

Its in the UK but I've had stuff arrive within a week on normal post, guess expedited would be even quicker.

If I was after a new bag that doesn't break the bank this would be it.

Snugpak are great quality. I have one of theyre bivi bags and its excellent military grade quality. I seem to remember Grant having one.

Same seller has theyre bivvi bags too, might do combined postage?

Recon all the way. Can't remember which model mine is (either a 3 or a 4) but bloody hell its good! "Sweating at night in the Gatta" good!!http://www.kitbag.com.au/products/RECON-3-Gen-II-Lightweight-Military-Sleeping-Bag-%2d5c-.html

Hmmm. Ive got a recon 4 and its brand new coz I used it once and found it to be no good for real cold.

The recon is an extreme rating of -10!! No wonder I was cold..probably 0c comfort rating.

My vango is a -28c extreme, toasty in that thing.

The snugpac is rated -20c extreme.

You need to acclimatise Shawn. Shorts for you this year. Or short skirts if you prefer?

Looks like shorts are the go then. Last time I got dolled up and wore a dress for our date I didnt even get an invite back to the tent for "coffee".

I only want to know what is a good sleeping bag Duncs and AH, not what you two do in them ;)

;)

The other thing I forgot to mention is that I bought it for the length. It's the first bag I've owned where I can sleep in it at full stretch and not hit each end. The warmth factor was a bonus!
