Sleeping bags

Does anybody know of a good place online to buy sleeping bags?

I got a ECW Mummy style/long Military Surplus SleepingBag from Ebay for under $20 including shipping.
It was Like new...no blemishes, tears, or repairs.
They're not too much designed for looks...LOL...but sure cant beat their functionality!!!


I just checked on there and now they are going for a higher price than what I paided.
When I was looking I just kept checking until I found one in my price range. Eventually one of the long-term Military Surplus sellers there had a bunch of them for sale and thats when I scored.

I'm 6'6" so I will need a long one around -10 to -20 What are some good brands?

I'm 6' and when I first got my sleepingbag I tried it out.
I got in it and my beagle was going crazy!
He climbed in the top part as I played hiding from him, with my legs extended, towards the bottom of the bag. He layed down near my head and I still had a couple inches left over at the bottom!!!

As far as brands go I've owned a couple of the Walmart bags(have no idea who made them) which worked somewhat. Also owned a North Face that cost me around $200 when I bought it.
I'm actually much happier with the Surplus bag than any I have owned before...especially for the cost.
It is heavier than alot of the bags out there these days though.
