I'm off on Friday to stock up for a birthday party this weekend, I really like the quality of their goods and the absolute no quibble returns policy with no need for a receipt.

---

My hubby will shop in about four places, Costco, Decathlon (France), our local agricultural suppliers place and French Supermarkets generally!

Piglet, might be worth me going anyway, Reading is the nearest to me, I always remember the pizzas they used to make they were huge.

If I could be a bit cheeky would you mind just checking how much the sleeping bag costs.

Thanks again, looking at both of them on the internet the Nitestar is more of a technical bag oposed to the galaxy, however on price I can get the galaxy £15.00 cheaper than the Nitestar. I guess you pays your money etc

---

The general school of thought is that your sleeping bag is the second most important piece of kit after the tent and that your budget should be allocated accordingly. Never skimp on your sleeping bag! But having said that the Galaxy is a pretty good sleeping bag anyway so I'll let you off.

I got my Nitestar off Ebay last year btw, brand new, about £22. Think it was a discontinued colour. Might be worth a quick check?

I agree I made a very inexpensive mistake with the £2.99 go outdoors sleeping bags, for the material alone it's not bad and Ok for sleepovers etc, but for the purpose of sleeping out in Britain ...no it is poor value.

I think it would be between the Nitestar XL and the costco bags, unless someone else comes up with a suggestion.

Having been brought up the Yorkshire way I have to have the best quality for nowt!

I have checked ebay, but for the XL it is £39.99 nearly everywhere. 

I put this on a seperate thread

Are they any good? Iam looking for an XL sleeping bag on another thread but this has just cropped up to confuse more.Are the specs good anyone got one and are Royal any good...........I don't want much do I?

Thanks

Piglet, thanks so much for looking, I will look up in Reading Costco soon, if I get the costco bag or not.

Might have to persuade the kids that all that pocket money is making the piggy banks feel heavy so they should be lightened for farthers day.

You're welcome, I had another quick look and they are huge.      Wish I'd gone down this route instead of my Vango Nitestar that proved smaller than advertised.

Christine

Was the Nitestar the XL version?
