Hi Denim,
you posted about gear from Winners recently, just wondering if it performed well on the trip. Looking for a sleeping bag and jacket for extreme cold, possibly -20. They have sleeping bags and North Face jackets but someone told me they are fake?

Yes, at least to -20 and was warm enough! The poles wouldn't hold after tightening to the correct height.

Thanks Denim! Was that to extreme cold temperatures? I don't want to freeze in my bag! What happened with the poles?

Hi Bird! I've also heard that their stuff is fake! We bought a -20 sleeping bag 3 yrs ago and it's been up 3 mountains and is still doing well. In fact all the clothing we bought has been good. However, the trekking poles weren't great and I've heard a friend complaining about the rucksacks. Stick to items that aren't technical and they have great savings, IMHO :)

Thanks JJ. Some of the gear is still double the price of Winners but obviously better value if it's the real thing! Yeah don't want to get to -20 and find the stuff is fake, BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
