Hi all

am just busy browsing the Argos website and came across a Kingsize sleeping bag. Is 400gsm +9/-6deg c. On sale for £24.99. I'v always used our duvet from home for camping - how warm do you think this sleeping bag will keep us at 400gsm.

Catalogue number online is:  340/7930

It depends ... How many of you are getting in it. .....We got our double from Argos & its lovely & warm....& believe me there have been some cold nights in that tent lol

 Only Dave and I. We have a kingsize bed at home, but double airbed for the tent. But I toss and turn alot - thus need space to move in sleeping bag lol My poor man!

I looked at that one before I bought a different bag earlier today. The one thing that stopped me was the fact that Argos don't give such detailed descriptions on most of their products.

We opted for the "Jeep" kingsize 340 gsm instead (340/9684). Its a tad more expensive at £39.99 but our main requirement was having a zip on both sides, which the jeep does, but the one your looking at doesn't stay wether it has got that or not.

I played safe and probably spent more than I should, but we're going camping this weekend so we don't really have time to take it back and exchange it etc.

We're trying it out in bed tonight-not the same i know-but will let you know how warm it is tomorrow

HTH,

I once bought a "kingsize" sleeping bag from Argos and it might have been what they called kingsize but nothing like I was expecting.

If you are in doubt about anything in Argos, go to the Customer services desk and ask for an item to view. It's a service they did when I worked there many moons ago and saves having to pay for something and get it home to realise its not right. I did it recently with pet carriers when I couldn't decide which size to get for our new kitten.

Hi all

we are going to Argos tomorrow to check them out. Am going to be a pain and ask them to open it for us so we can see what the quality is like and zips etc. Also need to get a new coolbox. I noticed that quite a few people on the forum make do with a normal coolbox and just freeze as much stuff as they can. Was going to opt for the one you plug in - but changed me mind.

Thanks for all the advice!
