SOOO I went out in search of a new sleeping bag to help with winter camping. It took a few days but I finally end up with I think a nice bag.
The store had a nice Marot 20degree down bag on display with no price, after searching high and low for the stock of them I finally asked for help. The salesman search and then took out his code reader gun to see how many were in stock. None, even though I was looking at one in front of me. And according to him there was no price with it either.
So a manager finally came over and did exactly the same thing the saleman did except finally after scratching his head just looked at me and said 100$ and its yours.
So i snatched it and began to look for hte compression sack.....it was no where to be found. The salesman then jumped on the radio talked to the manager again. He then offerred me 25% off to take it without the bag. I quikcly accepted the offer.
Theh the salesman came back and handed me a compression stuff sack from another bag from display and said I could take that and still get the discount.
Itf fit perfectly. So I became the proud new owner of a down filled 20 degree sleeping bag for 75 dollars.
When it was all compressed it only about 6 x12 and wieghed 2 lbs somethingish
I rushed home to test it out.
Now here comes the freak out.
I jumped in it on the couch, zipped it up, and then in about 10 seconds started to freak out from claustropobia. I have never had it in my life and small cramped spaces dont bother me, but that mummy bag caused me serious issues. It didnt help that I was freaking out, couldnt find the zipper (it was next to my face)and didnt have much arm movement. Now my wife was having a grand ol time with this and her laughing didnt stop for a while but finally came over to unzip me since I couldnt seem to do it for myself.
So here is where I will need help. I know I know short question made very very long, but...
can anyone recommend NON Mummy sleeping bag for hammock winter camping, I realized I need my arm freedom more then I expected.
Thanks much,
Zippo
