hi raikey,
really good warm bag, warmer and more room than the (L) equivalent british bag. i have this along with the clip in dutch bivy and roll mat that fits through the loops on the bivy, all in all a very well made bit of kit but it is heavy. depends what price you put on warmth and comfort.

Brilliant!,...thanks woodspirits,....

like i say wieght isnt a great issue,..it was the practicality i was after,...

you use it in the summer too?...

i saw the bivy too but i have combined it with the british issue one,....

i should have done all the research first i supppose but,..is it down or synth???

sorry to bombard you mate but i just set up for the ground and its part of the outfit i just ordered,...

Cheers

if its the dutch m-90 bag it sleeps verry well
i slept in it in my hammock wit-15c only in my boxers and i wasn't cold
its a really warm bag BUT............... its verry heavy if you have to walk any serious distance

The bag in Southeys post is the older type Dutch bag thats the same as the old type British army 58 Pattern bag
This is the later Dutch bag ,

stu,
yes i have used it in the summer, not too warm with zip down a bit, oh and the zip is longer than the brit bag, easier to get into in a hammock!, synthetic easy to dry and keep dry. the purpose made clip-on bivy is a must if your on the ground, brilliant idea.

The M90 sleeping bag is well known among the Dutch Bushcrafting community....
It's heavy and bulky - ever seen guys at a moot bringing a trolley? That's for the M90!
But everyone here knows they are WARM without failure, especially if you also use the Goretex bivy bag that belongs with it.

yes,..i bought one from Endicotts,..(great service as always btw! cheers Kev)

but i got the british issue bivvi bag,...

looking at the dutch one that goes with this bag i reckon i need one of those now too,.....the dutch goretex with the possibility of the hoop!

it looks really good,..

bit pricey on the web at the moment tho,...

unless anyone has one kicking around they dont want .,..hahahaha

cheers
