[Mr Benn]

Can anyone recommend where to get a cheapy ultra light sleeping bag - the ones that compact really small in its bag?

Thanks

Decathlon if you've got one near you usually has a good choice

I've got one of these for summer festies...

Think I paid about 50 euro for it, but I'm sure you'll pick one up in the UK for less than that...packs down into a very small size, but warm enough during the summer nights!

Edit: sorry, I see you were asking where you might get one....these guys have the sleeping bag in question for 29.99...

I have a Karrimor global 700 Link its 820 grams pack size 24x 15cm

I bought it so i can sleep in when the sun comes up but i also take a fleece liner to use if its cold

I'm going to expand the question a bit....

Please can anyone recommend a cheap, light sleeping bag that isn't mummy-shape, and that is also warm. I've got a mummy one, but I get all twisted and fight with it and get ratty with not being able to move. But I also get ratty if I get cold. And of course I also get ratty if it's heavy to carry to tent-pitch! And it goes without saying that I get ratty if I can't afford it...

Thank you!

A friend of mine decided to come with to a camping trip one year at the very last minute and remembered her sleeping bag was miles away with her brother. So a flying visit to Argos on the way was needed. However Argos had none of the style sleeping bags that you're referring to so she bought a double duvet (still in its vacuum pack) and made do. She said she was probably warmer than if she took her actual sleeping bag!

Thanks superdry. I bet she was right about the warmth! Although I'm a bit anxious about the bulk (I'm going by coach) with this plan. Vacuum pack is great on the outward journey.... I'll have a look at argos over the weekend (I know I've got 3 months to do this - but I can't resist glasto shopping already!)

Yeah it is definatly alot bulkier than a regular sleeping bag and wouldn't suggest it if going by coach. We were travelling by car that particular time so was easier to manage.
