Hi looking at getting a new sleeping bag, can't decide between the Outwell Camper Lux, or the Outwell Contour 2300 - prefer the colour of the contour as not keen on brown! I know that Outwell Camper Lux get lots of good reviews on here, so does does anyone have the contour 2300 as a comparison - any info back much appreciated as want to make the right decision.

We've got a couple of contour 2300's and a couple of contour 1900's. Had them a few years and they've worn well, been washed and tumble dried. Lovely and warm, can zip together if you get left and right handed zips.

Hi I can comment on both as we have both the camper lux and the contour 2300. Both are good bags but the Lux is warmer and being flannel lined inside has a nicer feel. I normally use the Lux as I tend to feel the cold a bit and my age OH uses the Contour 2300 and has never complained about it
Hope this helps

I have never been able to prise the Camper Lux from my (considerably) better half's grip, so I guess it's pretty good!

We have a couple of Camper Lux. Brilliant cost bags that we love. If we have visitors overnight and we give up our bed we used the Camper's on the sofa bed.

Nice material lining that doesn't get cold l because they are a "king sized" single there's plenty of space.
