After much deliberation, we decided to get the Outwell Camper Lux sleeping bags.
As I was placing an on-line order, I phoned the CS first to see if there would be an option to request a LH and a RH bag. I was told there would be an option to make a request. Sadly, there was not.
I placed the order and phoned as soon as I could to make the request and also to ask if the hoods zipped off as it states it can be used as a blanket. I was told that they didn't and that the bag couldn't be used that way.
This was a factor for us so I cancelled the order. I then found extensive product info on another site which said the zips do come off and it can be used as a blanket but in the meantime WildDays.com have increased the price of the bag.
I have emailed them to express my disappointment but they have not replied or acknowledged my email.
Really disappointed.

I don't really see why you feel the retailer failed you, except that they've increased the price of these bags whilst you've been deliberating about whether to buy these sleeping bags?
They haven't really given you poor advice, except to say you can specify left and right hand zips on their website when you found that wasn't possible?
You asked if the hoods zipped off when you rang to specify a left and a right hand zip, they confirmed they don't, you say you then cancelled on that basis? How is that poor service?
The hoods don't zip off (do they on any sleeping bag? Wouldn't you then have half a zip around your neck?) but they do undo (as on many other bags) so you can open it out and form a blanket (again, as on many/most other bags).
How have WildDay failed you, exactly? Sorry if I sound a bit snotty (and I have nothing to do with this retailer) but I genuinely don't see why you think the retailer has misled you. You asked specific questions (about zip-off hoods) and they answered you correctly, surely?
Maybe they could have been a bit more customer friendly and talked to you a bit to find out what it was you were after and what you had been led to believe about these bags versus other bags, but then again maybe you sounded like you were looking for something specific and didn't need any help and advice?
Hope you find a bargains somewhere else, if you still decide to go with this make and model of sleeping bag.

Okay, I was told I could specify LH and RH during order process - not the case (poor advice). I couldn't phone to check if both were available until Monday and as I'm classroom based it's very hard to make phonecalls, they could have sent 2 of the same..
I was told the hoods didn't zip off (perfectly possible) - they do.( poor advice)
I have emailed them - no response.(poor service).
Price did not increase whilst I was deliberating. It increased between giving wrong info and getting correct info.
