Aztec Sleeping Bag

I'm thinking about buying one of these for a trip to Northumberland at the beginning of November:

I've found one on ebay for a pretty good price and apparently they are comfortable down to -5 degrees.

I know you normally get what you pay for with things like this, but for the £30 I'm finding it hard to resist. What are your thoughts?

If you can find one in a shop, gosee, try it out on the floor in the shop,how quickley does it loft up is it comfortable, what does the inside feel like, is it slidey. Does it fit you, do you lay on your side or are you restless at night. can you get in and out easily,does it need liner for 4 season use. Buying a pig in a poke can be disappointing

i have an aztec swallow 300 bag. it is diferent to the bags on the link you showed but mine is about 10 years old so they have probably updated it. mine is prety good, it is rated for -5 comfort and -10 extream. i have only been cold in it once, in dartmoor and it was -8 which i had to wear extra cloths so i gess its accurate.
at £30 i think its a good buy

Great, thanks for the info, at £30 I think its got to be worth a punt.

Perhaps I could post a review of it when it arrives.
