Slumberjack Talon 40°F Thermolite® Extreme Rectangular Sleeping Bag - Long

Advantages: Warm, Extreme
Disadvantages: Size

...The Vango Predator 450 is a flagship synthetic bag packed with features to make this one of the best bags proving plenty of bang, for your buck. "The Predator range of sleeping bags is designed for use at the extreme limit. Available in mummy or square. Predators will be used by experienced campers, mountaineers and expedition members who will only use the highest performance sleeping bag suitable for the most hostile environments. Highly compressible Dupont Thermolite Extra is used in conjunction with Thermolite Micro for the ultimate warmth to weight ratio." As stated this bag is for use in slightly more 'wild' conditions, where some down bags would provide to much heat and most synthetic bags wouldnt provide enough. Although this bag has the disadvantage with most synthetic bags, the size, it does hold most of the properties which... Read review

Advantages: warm
Disadvantages: not cheap

...The Vango Ultralite range of sleeping bags are not the cheapest on the market but you get what you pay for - excellent quality. The 1100M bag comes in right or left zip version and is rated at 3-4 seasons - which means it should do you most of the year round in the UK. I have certainly never had a cold night in it. It is filled with Thermolite Plus which makes it very warm but still quite light and compact. It has a shoulder baffle which really helps to keep the cold out when the weather turns a bit chilly. I have found all Vango products to be of an excellent quality and this sleeping bag is no exception - I would have no hesitation in recommending it to a friend. please rate this opinion before you leave - thanks!...

Advantages: Cheap, light, the back packers friend
Disadvantages: Bulky, can damage pride if mate beats you in combat ;o)

...These mats changed my whole life! I've been going camping for donkey's years and therefore will probably have serious back trouble when I hit 45. But these mats may have just saved me years of agro in the future. Of course, they aren't THE most important piece of kit (a tent and a sleeping bag are), they can certainly help you have a comfortable nights sleep- even if you happen to be sleeping directly over an unconveniently positioned rock. These mats can be bought for as little as a fiver. Don't mess about with these camp bed things you get in Argos and everywhere else because they are too bulky and heavy and these mats work just as well. They also have the advantage of being extremely light (as they are made of foam) and can also be used in armed combat with your camping buddies when rolled up! What more can you want? Only drawback... Read review
