down sleeping bag

[woof]

Anyone used, or come across the ohvee sleeping bag range ?. I'm looking at the advance 600g bag, with down insulation. Retail blurb has it in the -5 to -10 range, comes in green and brown and is retailing at £50.

I`ve never heard of them before, the spec looks okay but I`m not sure how reliable the ratings would be.

You should have a look at the Alpkit website for very good value and excellent service.

The only review I can find is quite damning.

Thanks for that Smarvell, i think i'll steer well away.

That's very cheap for a down bag, and you get what you pay for... I love my Rab, but they're not cheap.

Yes i know what you mean Dunc, the price did get my attention !.

as per the other thread:

for a little more you can get an Alpkit bag which is about the best around for that money, given very good reviews wherever you look - great aftersales and free delivery.

No brainer really.

Unfortunately, the AlpKit waiting list is now until May for most models. I've decided that I am prepared to wait and am going to eke out more life from my Patt.58 bag until then, unless I find a great deal on a ME Xero 550 or similar.
