Sleeping bag bargain

[ghostlymoron]

Just treated myself to THIS from the Argos sale. First impressions are very good. It's well padded so should be warm, it's a generous size not a mummy shape which I don't like and can open up to be a duvet if I just want a cover. It's quite bulky but as I'm not using it for backpacking that's not an issue.
Grab youself a bargain at 12.99 instead of 29.99.

Looks like a good buy

Looks like a good buy - I'm after one of those sleeping bag suits but not as expensive as the £100 one mentioned on the forum a week or so ago.

I won't mention how much we recently paid to have fitted bed linen supplied and installed to our cabins which was just a tad over a tenner

I bought the non-cowl version a couple of years ago. Not used it much ... too warm in the summer!

Just what I was going to say, Vic. I find mummies claustrophobic and uncomfortable. I suppose their is an argument for their lesser weight and compactness if you're backpacking but neither of these restrictions apply when used on a boat.
I'm tempted to get another one while they're on offer.
Slinky, is it the Argos or Vango you have?

On the subject of price, you can get a down filled bag with real duck for £100. But the beaks tend to dig in.

You have to go for the soft billed.

Duck down/feathers attracts the foxes. You really don't want foxes on your boat

That's racist, you can have old sea dogs, but no foxes
