they are massive. and heavy.
hit fleabay and find the snugpak softie Hawk 9 or Kestral 6 sleeping bags. 9 is early spring to late autumn in comfort, 6 is late spring to early autumn in comfort. they are around 500g lighter than the bags you're looking at.
i've still got - and use regularly - a Hawk 9 i bought in 1993. the quality is brilliant - Snugpak make some of their bags in the UK and some in China, and when you lay your hands on them you can tell which is which. they have a tab on the website so you where each product comes from. unlike some brands, i find the snugpak temp ratings to be conservative, i've used mine happily in much lower temps than the Hawk is advertised at.
heres a couple from fleabay.
