Joe.358win Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I use a 0 rated summer hike bag inside my -5 swag bag,toasty warm and you will change in your pocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltonaHunter Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I use a Vango viper 1000 which is an excellent bag but they dont make them anymore 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: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MONT-Main-Range-Sleeping-Bag-950gms-100-Down-Expedition-or-Winter-Bag-/291436135553?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item43daf28481 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltonaHunter Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 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. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Snugpak-Softie-Elite-5-Unisex-Sleeping-Bag-Olive-All-Sizes-/331530673022?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&var=&hash=item4d30c49b7e 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? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Snugpak-Bivvi-Unisex-Sleeping-Bag-Desert-Tan-One-Size-/311292765692?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&var=&hash=item8e1f3c9abb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AltonaHunter Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncs Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I only want to know what is a good sleeping bag Duncs and AH, not what you two do in them Whistler 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
