sleeping bag help

[Old Bones]

Just a followup. Its really worth actually trying a bag out in store, rather than assume they are all exactly the same. I was in the area of Cotswolds and it was quite in store, so decided to actually try to see if the down bag would set off any allergies (seemingly no was the answer). I tried the Rab 700 womans bag (it just happened to be around and was down), and then the Mountain hardware Flame. The foot of the MH bag was very tight for me - not a bad bag, but it would have driven me nuts, even perhaps the XL version. The Rab foot would seem to suit me better.

Like shows and jackets, there are some things its worth trying on - because there are differences.

Alpkit do good stuff, and if your not happy, they have great customer service. Hope they work out for you.

Thanks I hope so as well, fingers crossed. My first outing with them will be on a island, that I found when on a kayak trip. I got hold of the number of the owners and explained what I wanted to do. Told them I would leave no trace...and they said no problem at all be nice to have someone looking out for the island and using it and feel free to have a fire as long as it is in one place that they use occasionally....and help my self to the stacks of logs
