So we finally took ourselves together and bought tickets to Iceland for the whole family. We will go in October, to maximize the chance to see the Aurora Borealis, and stay for 8 days.
Of these 8 days we want to sleep 3 in a hotel and the rest in our car(avan) or tent....or just under the open sky, together under a never-ending sky.
That sounds romantic, but we need some sleeping bags that are up for the task. We took a good look at our old sleeping bags and discarded them: They are good enough for summer and/or festivals but not for this adventure.
So we needed to make an investment here and bought 5 high-end sleeping bags with a comfort limit down to minus two degrees celcius. They weren`t cheap but we also not overly expensive as we each have a bagage allowance of 30 kg and can afford to splurge with weight: And high-end, LIGHT WEIGHT sleeping-bags cost the world.

| Here we go: 1600 PLN for 5 sleeping-bags. 3 standard length and 2 extra long. |
 |
| Bit for the spec junkies... ;-p |
 |
| The two "long length" can be zipped together... |
 |
| ...as can the regular length ones... |
 |
| Even for a 1,91m guy: Enough space to stretch out. |
 |
| Comes with adjustable inside collar to keep the heat inside. |
 |
| And a massive, sturdy zipper. All in all we are very happy with the purchase! |
