Well the Sleeping bag arrived in the post this morning and I'm really surprised by the quality and condition
It needs a wash of course but it is one of the early ripstop shells, with the old log patch and no serial number or washing instructions sewn in and made with "First quality Steam -sterilised SuperDown" so I'm thinking around 1980?
Anyway it is almost long enough but I will be more comfortable with a shaped box foot in this and I want to add one
Round as that will conform to the Bivvy and outer bag it will be used with, that is the US Army bivvy and patrol bag are OK for summer as-is, this will do in winter for car camping when combined.
Simon sells down in 42 gram increments; will 42 grams of down be far too much in a footbox only 300mm in diameter?
The alternative would be a few layers on synthetic insulation but Simon is out of stock and what I have is earmarked for my half-bag addition
Will be selling or giving away my old car-camping bag; this one is so much better
