My jerven bag

[Hushwing]

I just realized that this is probably a good bit of kit for Scotland...

just replace "the soaking wet marsh" with "Scotland"

That's not a wet marsh - it's atmospheric landscape!

Sounds a lot like the less rocky parts of this fjord infested rock, otherwise known as Norway. In other words the Jerven bag should be perfect...

If you think Scotland is a wee bit damp, you want to try a weekend in Talacre (North Wales). No matter how sunny it was in Liverpool when we set off and regardless of what the forecast predicted; It was always, ALWAYS damp and miserable when we got there.

I believe Talacre may test the Jervan bag to its limits.

You have never been in Gullesfjord, Norway where my mom hails from. Same story here. It may be a nice summer day, the sea is like a mirror, the sun is shining, with only moderate snow showers now and then, and we go to Gullesfjord...to be greeted by Northern gales, and the clouds hanging on the roof tops...

I'm on the tipping point of getting one of these...

Thermo or original... might come down to a coin toss

Get the thermo. The original is a lot smaller and only meant to sit in, or to be used as a poncho. And there will be a lot of condensation.
The thermo has a liner, and is big enough to sleep in...can probably stuff 2 people in of they are intimate...he he
Anyway, you get loads of space for a sleeping bag inside if you want to use it as a sleeping bag shell. And the liner prevents a lot of condensation, and you can use it as a blanket too.

Thanks Fishy!

Sounds ideal! Worried about the packing size of it though... I have emailed the company for measurements...

any idea how much space it occupies?

Here is a picture



It is quite bulky. The original packs down to maybe 1/3 of that, but that one is in poncho size. The Thermo is a lot bulkier. In the picture I have not bothered to compress it very much.
I hang mine on the outside of the backpack, as the bagg it comes in is made in the same weatherproof material as the bag itself.
