Is this a reputable place?

Check this out- they got all the specs wrong -- and what is desert paddling?

I want this bag ,but since the specs are wrong it looks weird. Should I ?

I searched and found them mentioned a couple of times, but nothing refering to service.

hootyhoo,

I bought my Montbell bag from them last spring at 20% off. No problems. They shipped my bag in a timely manner. Which specs are off?

Never mind - I got so exited I thought it was the Alpine burrow. My bad. But thanks for the input. I will put them on my shopping list.

I don't know what your time line is but last year campsaver had a Memorial Day sale of 20% off everything. That's when I got mine.

Campsaver is great. I've ordered from them multiple times, returned some things, and I've never had a problem. Got my Montbell sleeping bag from them too.

Hi Hootyhoo, I've ordered from CampSaver with no problems. I had to exhange an item for a different size and the transaction was smooth. (BTW, the bag looks very nice!) Carol
