Hi all, I've just purchased 2 (1 left zip & 1 right zip) vango astral xl sleeping bags after all the good reports etc. etc.

Now it's probably just me and my amazingly miniscule brain capasity, but I can't work out how to zip them together as others have described. "Why would you want to zip them together?" I hear you cry. OH insists on using me as a hot water bottle on those cold, winter, o.k., summer nights.

OH said "Just unzip them all the way, and"- "Stop!" I said, because there are 2 sets of zips. 1 which runs from head end to within approx. 12" from the bottom, and 1 which runs from here to the bottom and round to the end. PLEASE HELP AN IDIOT!

Thanks, dodoharv 

Not sure if the sleeping bags are handed – are they?

Have you tried un zipping them and laying them on the floor, I had a similar problem with a couple of bags I wanted to use as a double for the over cab bed, in the end all became clear after 6 pints of “old speckle hen”

They use their own zip along the bottom then zip to each other from toe to head, one on top & one on the bottom, they are that warm & big we rarely zip the top shut just snuggle down as it wraps round you.
