Superb warm sleeping bag, good pack size for it's warmth when compared to synthetic options. Excellent price.

Pack size was very good the cost was low just £86 to hire or £550-£600 to buy which is excellent given cost of some other manufacturers -40C ish bags coming in at £750-£800. The other was it's very water resistant outer which helps with accidental spillages.

I think when paying this much for a top end sleeping bag I would want a waterproof stuff sac in case of falling through ice etc which is where they can be used as well as up mountains. Possibly have a more water resistant inner at foot section in case you need to get in with boots on. Maybe 3 quarter length zip to save on weight. Maybe time to up the down quality to 800-900 fill power and down load to make it even warmer thus able to be used in even colder conditions in case of emergencies.

Excellent product highly recommend it will last for years with some professional cleaning along the way. And a brilliant price. There are lighter bags and bags with more down load inside however you cannot go wrong it's tried and tested. Comes in XL versions for taller people.
