Sleeping Bag replacement compression bags
« on: October 06, 2013, 06:51:16 PM »
I need a couple of new bags for the sleeping bags.. NO probs off to Anaconda.. Yep on the shelf over there.... Yep, here it is $38.00.. WTF?

Someone posted a link once to a place selling them (non branded - I think the bloke made things) for about $10-15.00

yea there's Ebay, but losing interest in that place.

Thoughts on where to get them from?

Also how do you figure out what size you need?  Small are great at $6.00 on ebay, but assume I'd need xtra large.

I grabbed a few last time Kathmandu had one of their 70% off sales......70% off brings their prices back to normal ;)

If you have the space store your sleeping bags opened out (lofted) when not using them. Stops them compressing, keeps you warm.

I'll say, Kathmandu gross profit for last financial year was 63%!  Astronomical & Unheard of for nearly any business.

These are not a lot cheaper than what you were talking about, but they do provide the bag measurements so I guess choose the one thats closest to what you had?
