Anyone got any personal experience of one... & how small will it pack down?

I've bought a fair bit of kit from them before, just wanted a heads up really.

Cheers.

I've got the 400. Excellent piece of kit. Used it on the OMM last year, very light and very warm.

I've got a 600 and it's a lovely bag, comfy and puffy. Compresses to a small size but with an 'expansion bag*' for normal storage. Nice material to sleep in with not a lot on as well.

* I made that term up, it's just a big bag as you shouldn't keep down bags compressed for long periods.

Got the exact same model in long. Superb bit of kit!.

Don't be put off by the size of the box it comes in, or the size of the bag when you see it for the first time (think HUGE), that's just the storage bag. When you want to pack it down, use the stuff sack and it goes down to something like the size of a family sized tin of beans. Ok, maybe a bit bigger.

Weight-wise, just over a kilo. Compared to a green bomb though, I barely notice it being there.

I can get a pic for you tonight.

Just seen that the prices have gone up a fiver from when I got mine, lucky me for saving that fiver. You do seem to get the choice of left or right zip in long now though, which would have been nice given that I sleep on my left.

Ah well...
