GREAT VALUE, WARM AS TOAST

well made, very warm, cheap, roomy not too heavy, great customer service

heavier than some bags for teh equivalnet temp rating but much much cheaper!

A superb starter down bag that does everything you want it too. Ideal for use all year round. Great value and backed up by a superb bunch of lads at Alpkit whose customer care is excellent

ALMOST UNBEATABLE!

Down quality, construction, weight, price and service

Non water resistant outer.

Great bag which i will be using all the time. I'm going to get a warmer Alpkit for the winter. I looked into down bags alot before buying this one and unless you are going to spend £200+ on a Rab or Mountain Equipment bag, there is nothing better!

OHHHHHHHHHHH ITS WARM AND LOVELY

Warm, cheap, comfortable, cheap, not too heavy.... comes with a decent compression sack and a big storage sacck - did I say it was cheap?

This is my first down bag, buts it much better and lighter than my synthetics - so far then no weaknesses.

For me, and excellent slepping bag that ticks all of my boxes. It's light enough that I don't mind carrying it, warm enough that so far I haven't neeeded to get my liner out and its only a bit more expensive than my last synthetic - Brilliant work from Alpkit (AGAIN!!!)

A LOT OF DOWN FOR £79.99 ! DELIVERED NEXT DAY FROM ALPKIT

Price,quality of fill,well made, simple and dependable design; but most of all a lot of good (700 fill) for your money

if any it is the ripstop nylon,

Nothing fancy; no money wasted on excess engineering or expensive coverings. This is a lot of quality down in a simple box wall ripstop bag. You could probably have bought a similar bag 20 years ago but it would still have cost more than this one does now! The nylon isn't up to date but probably only adds another 50g onto weight, and will probably last longer anyway
