hey, I have just lay it out on the living room floor... With if fully lofted i measured across the shoulders internally holding the zip closed 77cm. Across the shoulder externally 80cm and approx 48cm across the foot box. It weighs approx 1300gms and is rated down to -9c comfort for a regular male. Ive always stored it loose in a spare wardrobe so lofts really well. Let me know if your interested....

I have a Rab 900 Ascent. 18 months old but only used once for 3 nights. Mate wants first dibs on it (approx £120) but waiting for him to get back from abroad. I will watch this thread.

Hi Dave,

I will check the width tomorrow (probably evening as I am out all day). To be perfectly honest, I am also quite broad, and also a bit claustrophobic and am not a big fan of mummy style bags. That's just me. And I gather that this is a quite well respected bag, but each to their own. I have used it in Scotland at -12 (in a rooftent), and I found it a bit too warm if anything.

As I say, my mate has 'first dibs', but if this doesn't come to be, let me know where you are in Wales, and if I am passing, I will gladly bring it down to you (I am a delivery driver covering England/Scotland/Wales), you can try it for size, and if it doesn't suit, there's nothing lost!

Hi all, not wanting to high-jack this thread but here I am lol, dave53, are you now going after the bag on offer from Robmc ? If so then if it's ok with you I'll open up negotiations with jdodger. I don't want to step on anyone's toes so I'll step back until your happy with your bag of choice Dave, thanks.

Sorry Bop, it may well be that mine isn't even up for grabs. I won't know for another week or so, so please don't let me interfere with any other negotiations, mine is just a possibility at the moment.
