2 season bag £20-30

[Buster80]

Hi

I'm going to have to bite the bullet and accept that my artic bag is too big for my pack so the hunt is on for a replacement.

Any bags decent at that price point?

Compresses small and envelope shape would be a bonus.

Argos have some in your budget.

For that budget I'd look at one of these.

The temp rating is a bit optimistic but will be more than adequate for 2 season use.

Highlander pack tech? Check how tall you are because when I tried the gelert equivalent it was a little short.

Argos doesn't inspire much confidence,i may be wrong.

The snugpak looks really tempting,thanks for the heads up.

Highlander one was a bit over budget but I'll check around for cheaper.

Does anyone use bags from halfords?

Lidls selling sleeping bags this week for 12.99 dont know how good they are but might be worth a look. The have left and right handedzips so you can zip them together to make a double.

Fo summer use, Ive got a nomad quilted poncho, which is just a big square, you wrap around yourself, inside your bivy of course.
If it gets too cold, have your base layers ready.

This kinda thing:

I use a Snugpak jungle bag for 2 season use. It packs up really small and the built in bug mesh comes in useful when the midges are around.

Might be worth a look in Blacks or Millets Blacks have this on sale http://www.blacks.co.uk/equipment/1...e-250-sleeping-bag-light-green.html#read_more

I would personally look at a slightly higher budget- the old cliche stands boots and sleeping bags you are always in one or the other

Hi all
Budget got real tight so opted for a army jungle bag off eBay,I have a merino wool blanket that could give it a temperture boost......once I figure how to strap it to my pack!

Also picked up a roll neck merino wool jumper from m&s today for £6 down from 45 which might help with the cold.

Going to start saving for a decent bag, a 3 season snugpak based on the positive reviews the brand gets,I have my artic bag when it's really cold.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

Buster

Hope it will do you for a while, but Snugpak's long had a reputation for being not quite as warm as they say (which I can confirm). Mountain Hardware does have a good reputation, and they do the Lamina 20 (comfort of minus 5) for £135 from Cotswolds, although a little cheaper if you shop around, get a deal, etc (Blacks has one for £99 http://www.blacks.co.uk/equipment/125016-mountain-hardwear-lamina-20-sleeping-bag-left-hand-zip.html ) . It weighs 1400kg, and apparently packs down relatively small for a synthetic bag. The Snugpak Harrier 10 weighs 1750g and is supposedly comfortable at minus 7 (but based on past experience....!). It costs about £125.

When it comes to bags, the old saying that 'you can have it cheap, have it light or have it durable - chose any two' really is right. I suspect the Mountain Hardware bag is the best your going to get in weight/warmth terms for the money.

I use the snugpak jungle bag, this also can be fully opened up into a big blanket, the bug net is a great accessory as well, quite versatile really
