All season sleeping bag and inbuilt mosquito net
Excellent purchase of all season plus built in mosquito net. Initial use of the sleeping bag feels warm. Getting ready for cycling adventures abroad with wild camping that would entail different climates

Great Service. Brilliant in fact!!
Emailed these guys on Sunday, Chris replied on Monday morning. I called them back. ( just to make sure everything checked out ok? Unfortunately it’s necessary these days) I placed my order on Monday. Explained I needed it by Friday. It actually turned up the next day, on Tuesday!! I did not realise that customer service at that level was even possible in this day and age:). Brilliant

Fantastic service from start to finish, a real pleasure to deal with. Great customer service. Email enquiry answered promptly. Items in stock and delivered within two days via DPD despite storm Goretti doing her best to delay. Would definitely recommend Gap Year Travel Store.
