Mine cost new over £300 so £80+ is good for a bag that should last you a life time. All new adventure/artic sleeping bags are based on this system. The Commandos recommend this system when training in Norway.... Best bit of kit ever issued. BUT CHECK THAT THE ZIP STILL WORKS AND YOU RECIEVE ALL 3 PIECES
1. Sleeping Bag.
2. Gortex Bivi Bag.
3. Stuff bag. ( this is used to commpress the sleep system down to hight 4 inch. width 6 inch) so can be very small.
HIGHLY RECOMMENED AND GIVEN    
Commandos in Norway from Jan to March. the Norse and swedes use this bag aswell....
