Really nice example of the type
Mine arrived today, very quickly after my order.
Having seen a few scabby ones about, this one is in excellent A+ order and looks hardly used.
Although you can get them cheaper elsewhere, the price was, in my view, well worth it.
I am 6' tall and fit in fine. Roll on summer nights.
Pros: Good delivery speed and cost, No real wear or repairs, No thinning of filling, Excellent example of the maggot
Cons: Bulky by modern standards
Would recommend: Yes

Would Recommend To All
Being an outdoors person i try to keep all my gear sorted and have a spare in just about anything. This sleeping bag is ideal as a spare, whether i dont have my other, or a friend needs to borrow one its been up to the challenge in all conditions. From cold, hot and those times when the weather can't make its mind up. Had mine cleaned at the dry cleaners and the stuffing inside held together well.
Pros: Easy To Store, Waterproof Backing, Fairly Light
Cons: none
Would recommend: Yes

Best sleeping bag
As a kid I used my dad's army issue one and as an adult I now use my boyfriends. This is warm enough for 2 of us to use just on top of us in the summer. I will be getting my own shortly for our winter adventures. Highly recomend. Other sleeping bags pale in comparison. I feel the cold easily and this one is toasty warm and practical
Pros: Provides tickling feathers, Worth the space it takes up, Warm, Easily stored, Comforting
Cons: Takes up space in rucksack, Minor feather leakage
Would recommend: Yes

Pros: Comfortable, Warm
Cons: none
Would recommend: Yes

Hardwearing, warm, does what it says on the tin
Bought a new "maggot" from M&G a few months back to use on Dartmoor in midwinter. Brought back the memories of being stabbed by feather quills in the morning ! Warm, very hardwearing, can't go wrong. Only downside to these is that the feathers tend to migrate to the sides of the bag overnight leaving a colder patch along the zip...just give it a good shake to make sure that the filling's near the top before zipping up. Also bulky compared to a modern bag. I tend to use a surplus compression sack to transport in.
Pros: Rolls up into own bag, Hardwearing, waterproof base, Warm
Cons: Bulky compared to modern bags
Would recommend: Yes

My boyfriend got me one of these bags a few weeks ago, and I got to use it for the first time this weekend. It kept me completely warm even when temperatures outside the tent seem to be in minuses!
Pros: Good condition, Waterproof, Really warm
Cons: none
Would recommend: Yes

Well worth having
Still use mine from my Army days in the early 90's, Warm, can be rolled up very quickly with abit of practise, advice dont leave it rolled up when not in use, it can lead to the down being too compacted over time, other than that a Great sleeping bag
Pros: Very Warm and comfortable
Cons: none
Would recommend: Yes
