Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone can recommend a sleepign bag with a GOOD zip? My surplus arctic bag is heaven to be in, very rugged etc but the winning factor for me believe it or not, is the chunky zip! After busting my Vango's zip THE NIGHT BEFORE LEAVING for a quest across South Downs, just by wiggling round on my mate's sofa, I bought my arctic bag the minute I returned, still grubby from my journey, dead leaf crumbs falling into my keyboard. The zip on it is obviously goign to stand up to any wiggling I do.
So, I'm after a lighter weight, cooler bag for the summer coming, but I don't want some weak tiny zip that tangles itself and catches every time I use it, inevitably failing on me. I should say that I'm always happy to do a bit of DIY, but I'm not confident enough to replace zips.
Does anyone know of maybe a three-season bag with a chunky (or at least hard wearing) reliable zip?
Apologies for the convoluted question, the answer could well be that I'm a fool for going with Vango, but I just don't know. I had a look round Go Outdoors but the zips are all more fiddly than the ones on my trouser flies, and testing them out I was catching the material in them in front of the assistant helping me, it's just no good!
Thanks very much for any advice
Have a good one
Brady
