Let start with the basics, I bought this virtually blind, seeing what looked good on web sites. and i bought a peach. It does exactly what it says on the tin (or bag). It is very light indeed packs down to the size of a rugby ball, It keeps me perfectly warm to just above freezing and i have bought a fleece liner which take me down to about 0. people without as much meant on their bnes as me might find they get colder a little earlier.

I have droped this in a river and within 6 hours of it being hung off my ruksac and hiking around it was perfectly dry, a 15-20 degree heat in a pleasent April day.

I have a slight rip in the interior, not sure how it occured, but easily stiched up, probably not the fault of the quality of the bag. the lining does not move around . You will need a good quality roll mat as it is very thin the the cold easily transfers from the ground sheet, into you.

A good practical buy, quite simple, good make and keeps you warm

What more do we need to know about a sleeping bag, I think it was to the point - perfect for my tired eyes! Nice one!
