Clothing items?????I need some advice on the type of season 4 sleeping bag-synthetic or down sleeping bag with goose fill.
Here in UK the down sleeping bags are costly, around 拢180.
How much would it cost to rent or buy in Nepal?
The synthetic ones cost around 拢40 from Blacks or Millets store.
I also need to purchase thermal baselayers and proper gloves. again here in UK baselayers cost 拢11.99(one part only) and windstopper gloves cost 拢24.99.
I am planning to buy all these remaining stuff in Nepal. I have 2 days left, leaving on Saturday morning.
I have already spent alot of money on clothing and equipment. I a on a budget.
