• Im going away at the weekend, only for 2 nights but it requires I take a tent (as my partner is joining the next day).

    I didnt have a tent so have a bargain terra nova Zephyros coming tomorrow, might be cosy but hopefully we both fit in it for the one night. (we are both short arses)

    I reckon I should be able to fit clothes and tent in 13l saddle bag and 8l on the front. The 8l may end up more like 5l, it depends how it fits on the front of my bike.

    Ideally Id like to take a sleeping bag, any suggestions how I might fit this? Dont want to purchase a framebag.

  • you should easily be able to fit a summer down sleeping bag, zephyros tent and a change of clothes in a 13 litre saddlebag. Strapping the poles to your toptube makes squishing things in a fair bit easier.

    But if you have a massive sleeping bag strap it to the top of the saddlebag or the handlebars with bungees.

  • It is a crappy old sleeping bag, nothing special at all, broken zip and all and quite big. Didnt think of bungee cords, sounds like a plan!

    What is the concensus on best summer sleeping bag - budget and higher end. For future..
