Thread: What sleeping bag to buy

I continue to use my Fairy Down Scorpian sleeping bag brought in 1988. One of the secrets is to use a liner (started with a silk one then moved to a cotton liner) - i have gone through about 3 bag liners now? Plus just over 10 yrs ago sent to Twin Neeedle to add more loft. Zip has never failed. Weight is about 1.3 kg. Plus i don't 'dribble' so my bag is still in good nick. I hunt monthly on multi day trips including previous tahr trips. I don't really feel the cold too much though on some heli or 4wd trips take my Army alpine Domex bag where weight/bulk is not an issue. Like people say - buy once cry once and look after your gear - many years of enjoyment ......hate to think how many farts my bag has put up with!
