Hello Dave, as you say the pack is too heavy for you, just how much does it weigh. With and without side pockets, if you know. Have searched on line and found weights ranging from 1.6kg to 3.5 kg. Thanks Phineas

It's pretty good isn't it? I used mine at the weekend to carry 2 litres of water, a bit of food, poncho, esbit stove, fuel and titanium mug, and other bits and pieces which must have weighed maybe 8 pounds at a guess, maybe 10. It was comfy even with the narrow straps. Would thicken them up with...

http://www.militarymart.co.uk/index.php?_a=product&product_id=2320 Oops, sorry, thought I'd added one. Not bad for a tenner.

How about this one at Militarymart? I have one. It's light and tough. I have put a piece of sleep mat in it to pad the back a little. The only thing I have reservations about are the shoulder straps. They're a bit narrow- about an inch and a half across and with no padding at all, just plain...

I find the Snugpak Sleeper Extreme to ba a good bag for winter. I have never used it in sub-zero temps but found that in the low plus temps I was too hot in it while in a bivi bag and clothed (I had to take clothes off to sleep comfortably) so I would be happy to use it into the sub-zero temps.

Hi, does anyone own the square ended version of this bag? If you do, can you tell me how much it weighs and what the pack size is? The official spec is exactly the same as the mummy shaped version. How can that be right? If the bag is bigger because of the square shape, surely it should...

I was looking at an army arctic bag on saturday as it happens. Seemed really heavy though. Felt like way more than the 2.5 kg Highlander. What do they weigh? Felt very well made and had a huge zip baffle. Quie the opposite of the Highlander.

Hi everyone, i got the Highlander Challenger 40 on friday. I spent the weekend end assessing it. I haven't used it because I bought it knowing I may want to send it back. I decided that as there is no info available on the 'net that the only way to find out what it is like was to see one for...

As a general rule I add 10* to a manufacturers rating. I've got to say, Alpkit bags look great. Had my eye on them but I need to spend money on other stuff at the moment and weight and size aren't really an issue as I'm not carrying it far. What do you think of the Osprey 12? How low a...

Yours must be size 12 and 112 mm wide. The widest fitting. What's the 04 04 6 mean then? If size 12 is 300, what is size 9?

Thanks for the input Ray. But it's waiting at the PostOffice depot for me as I write! I understand about the fillings and their improvements over the years but I haven't bought a bag in 12 years so I don't know which are the good fillings anymore. The last bag I bought was a Snugpak but I...

Hi, I have been researching para boots because I have very wide feet so find comfy boots hard to find. A surplus seller told me recently that German para boots come in width fittings. Usually printed on the tongue of the boot and given in millimetres. I believe the max width is 112mm...

Thanks TBL. I contacted dave53 and he's well happy with his Highlander sleeping bags. Bulky, heavy but very warm which is what I'm looking for. I'm not backpacking with it, just kipping in the woods. And for £40 you can not worry about it getting damaged. best wishes Phineas

Hi everyone, I'm new to the website and I have a question. Has anyone used this sleeping bag and, if so, what do you think of it? I can find very little out about it on the 'net, other than the manufacturer's blurb. The manufacturer and all other sellers that I have found list it as...
