Rake aboot 4,936 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Buffalo gear is excellent as well, They do a "superbag" which your arms can come out of at the side, or they do the normal buffalo bag which can have a liner fitted. Get a Buffalo top for day to day wearing and use it with the normal bag, Warm as hell. ATB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ossie n Arch 1,683 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Firstly.........Everytime i go camping in Spring or Autumn, the weather turns and its guaranteed to be cold.... I feel the cold anyhow, and I read tonight that us "over 35's" should add 5 degrees to the comfort rating of a sleeping bag, when purchasing.. So, that explains a lot Anyhow, I am looking for a decent sleeping bag, under a ton, suitable for a cold boy like me... I prefer green, olive type colourings..... so I am thinking on looking at a carp fishing type sleeping bag.. I dont like sleeping in clothes, so it needs to be comfortable, however, I have had bags that I have sweated like a rapist in Any personal recommendations please? Cheers Matty Just as important is what you sleep on. When i camp i sleep on an Alpkit inflatable mat. http://www.alpkit.com/sleeping-mats They make good Sleeping bags aswell. Keeps the cold from the ground sapping all your body heat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattydski 560 Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Trakker big snooze should get one for £40 or less. Been out in minus 5 no problems. Just ordered my Trakker Big Snooze + last night. Looking forward to trying it soon... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
