Did u get them to wrap it as a gift so that it could slip through customs?

Thats right.

Alright fellas,

I typed a massive reply to this thread regarding my purchase of a new sleeping bag but somehow managed to 'select all' and delete everything

In short,

Contacted One Planet regarding their bungle line of sleeping bags, they said their 700+ model is sitting at 785 loft and the 800+ at 825 loft. making the 700+ model the clear winner concerning value for money (they confirmed this decision too, very helpful staff)

Found two stores in NZ that stock the 700+, -10 model.

Ended up buying one from Livingsimply.co.nz . rung them up and the guy said he was fine with giving me a 10% disount, paid $450, down from $500. Also great service from them, highly reccomended.

$450 new for a bag thats basically 800+ loft, has an -10 EN lower comfort, is Semi rectangular, and weighs in at 1KG, seemed like a great buy to me comparing it to other bags.

Thanks for everyones input and words of wisdom

Cheers
