I'd imagine that the Tesco down bag would fit the bill, although I've not tried one ... not allowed to buy owt from Tesco in our house ;)

I picked up one of the down Tesco bags at £25 and its super small I haven't used it in anger though yet but may be camping at the end of the week with the kids so may take it then.

plus there's an extra 20% camping stuff in Tesco at the moment

but the one above with a mozzy net looks good value too

I tried my Tesco bag over the weekend and for £19.60 it was great. None in stock though.

Go Outdoor have this down bag for £25 http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/lifesystems ... bag-p95359

Light but only 1 season.

That 600g Lifesystems sleeping bag is a bargain for summer use.

Yeah could be, if that's the case then the looter only made a couple of quid.....
It'd a nice little bag packs down small. Will report back after SDW

I also got my Tesco bag out this Saturday (It's first outdoor airing since last October's OMM if I remember rightly) and I was roasting! In fact, I was sweating for the first half of the night and I hadn't even fluffed it up when I extracted it from the drybag.

It's still a more than adequate bit of kit as far as I'm concerned :)


Here it is, peeking out of my Rab bivibag.....
