eurohike 500 down sleeping bag

[marra33]

Hi guys and gals,
I was looking online earlier and I noticed that millets have the eurohike 500 down sleeping bags on sale at the moent for £51 if you use the discount code, does anyone have any experience of these ?
the reason Im asking is that I bought a pattern 58 army sleeping bag, but now the warm weather is upon us, I cant really justify loosing half my rucksack space to the pattern 58, and the eurohike looks to be about half the size, so I was thinking that the comfort range is down to 2C that should be plenty warm enough till at least october / november.
can anyone recommend another small lightweight down sleeping bag that is not going to break the bank, I am looking ideally for something along this price range or even cheaper, without going down the ebay and china route.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

ps, for anyone interested the pattern 58 IS big enough for me 5 8" and 14 stone, and a beddlington terrier to sleep in

I have one, and used it a couple of times. I'd say its ok but I did use it in winter. The stitching on mine is a bit loose and I'm scarred of stretching it to breaking point, but I am 6" and 16 stone. I got it also because of the points you made.

60/40 duck down fill

Not exactly the best ratio out there. You get what you pay for. Shame Alpkit have largely sold out of their stock.
On the other hand, someone thinks it Ok - here:http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=98964

that was a good post big G, I tried looking for something along those lines on the forum, but could find anything.
so all in all they look half decent, for the price, obviously not as good as the more expensive bags, but pretty decent for the price
