I sure hope you know that's a sleepingbag hahahaha
Its a Lafuma-Warm'n Light 600 down
Stuff sack light weight. Weight is just over a pound.
Its warm enough. Dress accordingly and it works fine. You will always have SOME compromise with a stuff bag like that. I got that one in trade on another forum, before I used a roll up heavy bastard. I sure enjoy this one more
Very Cool find!
I have wondered about getting stuff shipped in what customs charges? how does that work?
I have been wanting to order some Silva 40H compasses that are not sold in N.A. They are readily available in the UK fair prices generally, shipping isn't ridiculous, and if customs doesn't stiff you you could have a high quality button compass for way less than half the cost of the Pyser.

I don't pay any customs fees. You pay only what the seller charges you for shipping. Then it shows up at your door. Unless your importing huge packages, don't worry about it.
Thanks. I found a source in the UK that will ship four compasses at $7 GBP ea plus $2.50 shipping.

From http://bivibag.org.uk/
Pro-Force Hawk Bivi Bag
Waterproof and breathable with a wire supported mesh mosquito screen. Weighs in at 600gramms and packs down to a size of 15cm x 20cm. Worth a look for the 67 finest English pounds being asked, a cheaper option to some of the pricier bivi bags on our pages but still an effective shelter.
Currently Out Of Stock
There's a similar bivy with mosquito screen
I wonder how breathable these bivies are. I can sleep anywhere on anything, but in the summer here, a bug screen and good breathability will be everything with the heat and the bugs.
May have to look for some tests, or at least specs on the material itself.
That's a nice price, but I'm always dubious of claims of breathability, which seems a very relative term, as used by manufacturers' advertising.
Have an inexpensive summer bag on the way, and am really looking forward to trying it out. All my Marmot stuff is awesome, so maybe it won't disappoint.
