 seem to recall that the lable had a pic of Point 5 gully on it.

Made in Nottingham - like me.  I couldn't afford down when I started out & after starting work proper & I could afford one,  I didn't see them in the shops locally & ended up buying a ME Lightline.

I just acquired an unused Helios (1472g) & prototype (provenanced) Goretex covered bag (1940g) from 1970's - both with great loft.  These will be put into use winter camping.

I'd love to get hold of an Orion for backpacking.  If anyone has one needing a good home let me know!

Think model is 'snowcap'

 The Snowcap was 'No:3' Down & feather fill - originally 1190 grams total weight to give you an idea of any lost down.  6 years too late with the info!
