I have noticed on the Bison Bushcraft site they have a 4 season army type sleeping bag for around £100. Does anyone have one or know anything about them? Are they an improvement on the British army arctic bag?
Would appreciate info on this, or any other central zip 4 season bag that people rate.
 
Just had a look at those and i like the look of them and they certainly are lighter than the issue bag
Id be interested to see how small they compress and how durable they are especially the zip
 
Good link. Just got off skype with my son, & he's off on exercise(he's based in Germany)today, & his kit issue is woefully short, one thing he can't get is a sleeping bag, which he's had to borrow, & he says is to short for him, if i'd known this i'd of got him one.

Is it much lighter than the issue bag? It's difficult to judge it at all from one picture, though any cold weather bag with a central zip is worth a look in my book. I just wonder if for £100 quid it's really that much better than an issue bag which you can pick up for 30. I used to have an issue arctic bag but sold it on and got a Nanok Golden Eagle from you know where. Big mistake. Sold than on too and now have a Nanok Comfort down -10 which I like a lot, preferring a bit of wriggle room. Thing is I'd rate it as a good 3/4 season rather than a genuine 4. I'm thinking of using my issue jungle bag with it next time I go out in the cold, but can't quite shake off the feeling I should own a good 4 season all the same!?
