Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
mine is going to be jazzed up.
if i can find a suitble inflating mat to put in it one will go in. i want to add some compression straps preferably leather to add to the old school style. i might also investigate some form of carry strap for when i go lighter and just carry the bedroll

ive just put my freshly laundered one back together with a bog standard foam roll mat inbetween the outerbag and the fleecy layer and it is a very tight fit when buttoned up.
when rolled up it fits the hood spot on with no room to spare !
My Alpkit airic slim fits,but i cant keep it buttoned inside as i cant get to the valve to inflate/deflate.
I got mine a few days ago. Quite quick delivery. Everything was in unused and new condition. It was everything I was expecting and will be living in my car for the whole winter. It will also be great used on top of a camp bed, keeping everything snug and dry inside the waterproof outer. That outer layer is quite robust so I won't have to worry if it gets lots of abuse. Plenty of room inside to supplement with sleeping bag for extra warmth - then it will be great with just a ground sheet and tarp over.
ordered one earlier this week hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow. on the subject of sleeping mats does anyone have any experience of this one? http://www.militarymart.co.uk//British-Army-Issue-Thermal-inflatable-Sleeping-Mat/prod_1710.html
like the look of them but figured i'd get some other opinions first

yee gods ! a couple of pints at lunchtime and then try and do all the buttons up !! really really wouldn't like to try this in the dark in a combat situation ! ( think SWMBO shouting that the take away has been delivered and where's the money ! )
then try and figure out why it's such an odd shape only to realise that 3 buttons are missing and when you button the whole lot together it looks like an origarmi reject !!
still.........missing buttons aside, finaly got it into some sort of order and it's great
big old heavy lump of a thing but warm and comfy, just right to sling in the back of the car.
( bit weird having the zip rubbing on your face when you're in it ........or have i still got it wrong ? )

Robbi, the zip should be around the shoulder area and then you pull the draw strings to form a hood around your head,at least thts what ive been doing.
Aha, ... i might be getting too far into it ......draw string ?.....have to go and find that then !
found these on ebay it will be slightly cheaper than the other seller

Never used a sleeping bag or bed roll yet so might get one of these as it's starting to get a wee bit chilly at night to sleep without one.
What's the lengh like? i'm 6ft 4 so probably about 6 ft 6 6 ft 7 in sleep will this be long enough

looking for something else on the site i linked to they have knocked the price back down to £9.99
same sellers eby store
glad everyone so far is liking them, bit of a relief
I should have checked that ...D'OH
Glad they have lowered the price
Mine arrived two days after ordering and the only thing wrong was two missing buttons. Including postage it cost just over a score. What's everyone using to re-proof the shell?
I've slid in a 10mm closed cell roll mat and tacked an ex army wolly blanket to the existing fleecy blanket. Trouble is it's silly weight now but will live in the back of the car anyway. Happy days
