Down Blanket Sleeping bag....

I picked up a new sleeping bag last week, but due to time constraints I didn't have time to look at before leaving for HUM Germany. Then during the first night I felt that it was a bit small, which was strange as it was specified to be 220cm x 80cm.

Right, so today I finally had time to look at it, and measured; it's 220x71cm, so watch out if you decide to get a Lowland sleeping bag it could be smaller than specified...

So now I'm on the hunt for a Down Blanket 2 season sleeping bag (at a reasonable price) - any good hints ??

Cheers,

Casper

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
