Sleeping bag CADAC

[Stef]

I saw CADAC sleeping bags at "reduced" price at my local Chamberlains, R228. The one with the cowl, 200EPP. Any good?

Generaly speaking I have never had any issues with Cadac products. I don't own one of their sleeping bags though.

Just afraid it might give you gas

Ek is redelik gas-vry

Ek is redelik gas-vry

Maar dan sal daai slaapsak ideaal wees want die Cadacs wat ek het hou gas in

Stefan sal kyk watter ek vir die kinders gekoop het en laat weet maar die wat ek het gaan tot op - 5 en tot op hede werk hulle lekker

As cheapie sleeping bags go the Cadac is not too bad.

The only issue i have with them is the zip. It has a protective strip on the inside of the bag so the zip doesn't scratch your body and this strip gets caught in the zip if you try and zip it up any quicker than a snail can walk the length of the zip.

I dont think you can wrong if they are to be used for small camping trips. They keep you warm enough.
Out under the stars on a cold night you will have to wear extra clothes or at least I have had to (and Im a warm sleeper).

They are ok, I have one but dont use it, I bought the double one. Much more space.

They are acceptable, much better than sleeping in a "goingska", or a black refuse bag. When well looked after they will last you a good couple of years as well. Store them folded, and not rolled inside the bag.

Won't do much camping in winter so I guess they should be OK; saw at outdoor warehouse the brand name cowl ones are R270-ish for the +10deg so CADAC not much of a bargain.

[Traveler]

Have you considered K-Way? Have 2 and used them plenty in the past 5 years. Has been a brilliant investment.

I use a Cadac Sunseeker ISO 200C - 200mg/m sq Hollow fibre for the kids and for the boss and I the ISO 270 cowl and as stated before to date no problems. Hope it helps?

[Stef]

Helps a lot tx!
Don't want to spend R4k on 3 sleeping bags just yet, looking for the cheapie to mid-range that could last me a while.

Gonna have to put my 2 cents in as well....

One of my clients make sleeping bags - I have a 700g duck down bag that on the coldest nights I kick myself open , He gave me a new hollow fibre one to try - at abike rally in De Hoek - (if you don't know where it is - it is between mountains just before the Swartberg Pass) and my wife used it and she was sweating - for a hollow fibre not bad

He is in Salt River and his companys name is Duvet and Pillow Factory Shop - if you want the no. I can get it - all I can say is that they are more than their weight in gold - the prices range from R640 and up - absolutly worth every penny
