Only £6.60 if you agree to pick it up in a store.

I bought one of these earlier this year and it is a fine summer bag- very light and tiny pack size.

Bargain- thanks for sharing! :-)

If you are talking about Dowser then don't read too much into that... the man walks about bare chested in gale force winds and driving rain!  Chuck Norris has nothing on Mr Dow ;D

rofl... I do swear by this bag. It goes with me on every camp, all year round, because it seems to always keep me toasty, it packs tiny and is extremely light weight.  It is also completely machine washable and gets a spin in the machine after every trip which means it's always clean and fresh the next time you climb into it, unlike down bags which I find are a bit smelly from the minute they come out of the packaging.  

If you are a cold sleeper you can double these things up because they are quite roomy although I tried it once and near melted  :-[

They would also be very useful if you had a decent 2 Season bag and wanted to give it a nudge towards a 3-4 Season by using one of these as a liner.

Defo buy instore.  The price varies more than the FTSE100 but I don't think I have ever paid more than £8 for one

DISCLAIMER: I accept no resposibility for anybody freezing to death on the top of Donard in one of these based on the info above  ::)

Ghosts sit around the campfire and tell Chuck Norris stories.

Chuck Norris died 20 years ago, Death just hasn't built up the courage to tell him yet.

I've just bought one of these bags, i reckon i'm an average temp sleeper (always too warm in the house and usually too cold outside) so i'll report back after i've tested it. I also managed to accidentally  ??? (i had a few web pages open at the time) buy the compass watch and a kids camo bag, looks like i've started the christmas shopping early this year  ;D

O forgot to say, my PD600 should be here today :)

It came and Im amazed by how much it lofts :) Got 3 bags the big storage one, a compression and a stuff. What do you guys that use them use normally when out? The stuff looks much smaller than the compression ???

I use the compresson for mine and use the stuff sack for keeping climbing gear in.

I brought the new bag with me at the weeknd to try out, i pulled it out of its stuffsack, took one look at it and thought "that'll do as the pillow" then got my cosy slumbalux bag out to keep me warm  ;D

the compass watch is quite good, also has a max/min thermometer on it, a bargain for the £6 i paid

the kids camo bag is actually large enough for me, head doesn't quite fit in it but a grand wee bag for another mere £6, certainley much warmer looking than the mummy bag and very little extra weight
