Arrived this morning Phil. Once again, thanks for your tireless efforts :)

Haven't unwrapped it yet, we just got a very toothy Jack Russell pup ;)

You're welcome. Yep, definitely keep it away from sharp teeth.

That is them all shipped now.

THIS GB IS NOW CLOSED, NO MORE ORDERS


More GB bargains are on the way for the run up to Christmas though. Multi-buys across GBs will obviously save significantly on P&P. I'll look for some good stuff for prezzies as well.

By the way, giving kit you want to a partner and then using it yourself is a difficult play to pull off! :rolleyes:

Mine also arrived - It's huge! - I'm 6'1" and can sit up cross-legged INSIDE it :D
love the fleecy-lined footbox too

MTP GSR bag also arrived with it :)

I'd be shocked if the GSR bag didn't arrive with it lol.


I've yet to try and rig this up over my hammock. There is plenty of room for another good sized bag inside as well. I'm tempted to put my army arctic bag into it but then I might cook!

I'm still trying to track down an appropriate compression sack, it will have to be an XL. It does fit inside the issue Arctic Bag compression sack but the fitted plastic buckles are rubbish and burst apart. Someone wasn't doing a very good job in MOD acquisitions when it came to the stuff sack.
 
I have had one of these bags for 12 months or so and have used it a lot, so far it has been great I have slept in it down to freezing with no problem and if like me you don't like to be cocooned in a bag that turns over with you then this is the one you need, if its warm just leave the side zip open.the zips have by the way been problem free

Thanks for the feedback. I have been using it a lot over the past month and I'm very pleased with it too. I will be taking it to Rough Close this weekend and I will take another bag with me to use inside if it gets really chill as I won't be in a tent.

Military Mart have large Dutch army compression sacks don't know if they would be big enough.
noticed they have plastic buckles as well!

Time for a group buy on compression sacks lol

Bump.


Can I ask of the guys that purchased these bags what their views and opinions are now that some time has past?

Thanks.

Very pleased with it, not small nor lightweight, but exactly as it says on the tin, "a big" bag.

Being of larger build, this bag does not restrict my night-time movement and is long enough to pull up around my head & neck.

Probably the best sleeping bag I've ever bought!
