OEX Leviathan Sleeping Bag

[Veracocha]

I have read several reviews on this sleeping bag and all seem fairly positive. To be used only during the winter months for wild camping in the UK, are there any users on here that can confirm the suitability of the product? Currently on sale at £139 it seems a good price for a down bag.

I'm tempted on this one too. Seems a fantastic bargain. Do I need a 5th bag though? ?????

I collected mine today, at first glance it all seems well made. I can't believe how it's lofted so much since taking out of the sack. It's enormous.

Looks a not unreasonable spec for the money - 600 fill power, but 900gms, whereas a Rab Ascent 700 has a higher fill power (650) but has 700gms. The Rab is rated as a 3 season, whereas the OEX is a 4. That OK, and comfort temp of minus 9 seems reasonable, but I do worry about the 'extreme tempreture' cited, which is minus 38! '|Still stay safe'? Hmmm.

OEX is a the posh Go Outdoors own barnd, and looks like good specced stuff for the money. The Feud waterproof insulated jacket looks good value for money, and if it goes down in price, might be tempted.

Just spent two night in the lakes, one of which was -4 according to the sensor on the car (last night). No liner, just a tee shirt and merino base layer, toasty. Delighted with it's performance.
