As above guys...
I have been using the Alpkit DIrtbag for the last few years, and its served me very well. However, on my last outing I woke up at 2am and it was as flat as a pancake. Upon inspection, the foot end seam (which is always rolled up first due to the valve at the opposite end) is perished. I have tried to repair it with some Gorilla tape, but no joy.
Now, I have had no complaints with the Dirtbag, I must have used it over 60 times over the last few years. Its comfortable, its light, its warm. Its pretty well priced at around £50.
So, before I just order a replacement from Alpkit, is there anything else I should look at? Ideally similar price point, thickness, lightness of the Dirtbag. Aplkit now do a new mat, the Dumo, which looks a little thicker than the Dirtbag, but it has no foam inside, so may not be as warm as the Dirtbag...
I await the collective wisdom of BCUK
