I'm trying to kit out Woody Jnr. with a better sleeping bag for autumn and winter ( the ones we have for the kids are the really cheap summer ones which are OK for family camping...)
As we plan to do the Ridgeway sometime in autumn...
(Training starting now with long walks whilst carrying loads... )
Being on a budget, I've been undecided between artic sleeping bag (surplus) ...
or one of these...

I like the specs on these ... plus he likes camo gear...
Is Highlander a good manufacturer?
Their website and information seems very good, just wondered if anyone has experience with their products???
I cant afford a really decent one right now, and ive seen many a good deal on mountain warehouse... but I've read somewhere the zips are rubbish and won't last.
Being a carpenter I know all too well that when you buy cheap , you buy twice...
So question is should I buy surplus (sloppy seconds) or just spend a bit more on a highlander?
..and actually is that highlander even good enough?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!!
