Fixed link http://www.blacks.co.uk/equipment/11648 ... -long.html - I bought one of these and have used it for 5-6 nights out and I'm pretty happy with it. Only complaint is that it doesn't pack particularly small. For £30 though it's warm and comfy.

Cheers for sorting the link Neil ... think my mouse got the better of me there.

This isn't the lightest but at £19 it looks good value.

Speaking as someone who's bought, then sold a lot of gear ( and hoarded) I'd go for the best you can stomach spending on right off the bat,

if you've already tried and decided you like the while bikepacking / bivi ing thing that is

Remember the jumble at WRT this year.
