Ajungilak Igloo Super 180/195

Advantages: Warm, designed specifically with children in mind, extendable
Disadvantages: The toggles get in the way!

...with synthetic fibre. We decided on synthetic fibre because my husband is allergic to featherdown, we weren’t worried about how compact the bag would be and synthetic bags still perform well when wet or damp. Plus they can be machine washed with ease. We chose the Ajungilak Little Viking Sleeping bag, as it seemed to combine all the features that we were looking for. Ajungilak have been making sleeping bags for many years, I think the first bag was made in the 1870’s! They also specialise in synthetic fillings for sleeping bags and other bedding. Nowadays they manufacture their products in China but design and test them in Norway. They are widely available in the UK. The Little Viking bag is an extendable sleeping bag recommended from birth until about 10 yrs old. It has an extra extension section that can be added on as the child grows so... Read review

Advantages: good in all conditions
Disadvantages: perhaps master of none?

...As a long-time keen mountain biker I've used many different tyres but for the last couple of years I’ve decided to stick with the Tioga XC's (26’ x 1.95’) as I've been pretty pleased with the performance in all conditions. Admittedly perhaps not king of anything but nevertheless at least competent in all conditions as far as I have experienced and I've done a lot of riding in different places and weather conditions. The knobbles are just the right size teat there isn't too much rolling resistance whilst maintaining plenty of grip on all kinds of surface including lose, wet and dry. The side knobbles also insure cornering stability and if you do push too hard they are quite predictable as they slide. Relatively hard wearing so long as you get the good versions rather than the cheap grey market ones... Highly recommended for all round... Read review

Advantages: soft
Disadvantages: bad seams cause deflating

...Two perfect soft airbeds (195-78-25 cm) for a cheap price.. But the softness is only short lasting, since we experienced that the seams don't hold and awaking with your back on a flat airbed is NOT a nice experience. My boyfriend weights only 80 kg, however, our two airbeds (first his, than mine) couldn't hold his weight. We fixed the first hole, but it was of no use, since the morning afterwards, my boyfriend was lying on the ground again! Then I slept on the floor, feeling pity for my boyfriend and the next morning the second airbed was also deflated! We thoroughly checked the airbed cap but that was not the problem. The seams were weak... I would say this is an example of a truely bad product (and no coincidence, since it happened to both airbeds). Never buy these airbeds! Now we've bought two camping stretchers. At least the... Read review
