We want to buy two of these so we can zip them together, the cheapest we've found so far (with them in stock) is £35 each plus £5 postage at Outdoor Action. Has anyone seen them in stock cheaper anywhere else, or any suggestions? We need a right and left hand zip?
No £35 is a very good price which you will find hard to beat, I would go with that, they are great bags, I have 2 Nitestars and 2 Astrals which the kids prefer. We use the Astrals to cover our airbeds when we camp after september. It provides another layer of insulation when the temp is a bit nippy.

Hi all,
I really like the look of these bags, we have been looking for some square footed bags for our mad plan to camp for bonfire night. I was wondering whether these bags are quite roomy. I currently have a double size one to myself (although I wouldnt call it a double unless it was for two catwalk models with no love handles), as a woman with a curvy figure shall we say are they bigger than the average single bag on the market?
Cliff n Pat,
Thanks, I promise not to tell anyone your little secret, it
is just between us. I think I might give these a go then, one further question, all the technical stuff on these state they are:
Comfort: 4°C to 20°C
Extreme: -10°C
Performance: 2-3 Season
We have been looking for a 4 season bag as I understood that is what we would need for camping in November. Does the blurb above mean that this bag is suitable for up to -10°C? if so then this bag is ample for any camping situation I am going to get into. The bag I was looking at I have attached a link for but as it is much more expensive I would prefer to save my pennies and buy the Vango.

Thanks in advance.
-10 is the extreme limit, the comfort tolerances are for normal use. Depending on the type of camping & how you carry your gear you can implement the bags with fleece liners,air beds,mats under the bag & the bed, duvet over the top & most important a good woolly hat. Remember in winter you wont be kipping in shorts & a T shirt.
The extreme is the temperature you can actually stay alive at (without getting hyperthermia). However, if you use a fleece liner it will probably take the comfort limit down to 0, and the extreme down to around -15.
Got two of these bags at Outdoorgear4you.co.uk - £35 each (plus £5 p & p) - excellent quick delivery & they are HUGE! Can't wait to use them this weekend!
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
