    Down bags

    I eventualy bought the Alpkit SkyeHigh 800, long version. Pleasantly suprised at the size or maybe I have lost weight :lmao:. Quality of Alpkit gear never ceases to amaze me for the price. Certainly worth considering for anyone looking for a larger down bag. Cheers Andy

    Kifaru Express Rucksack

    You're right about finding the right one to fit. I loved the sabre45 it was just to short for me and never keen on some of the flashy coloured sacks from a lot of the big names. Cheers Andy

    Kifaru Express Rucksack

    I don't like to say in case the missus looks over my shoulder :eek:, it weren't cheap though . Have a look on the Kifaru site. This one is last years model which they are discounting at the mo.
