Hi,
Found my perfect travel bag I hope :
MEC INTREPID TRAVELLER 15-22C SLEEPING BAG - UNISEX
Only can order this from Canada and then is 50e shipping price. Is this also here in Europe? Looks perfect : )Thanks!

There are some stores in the Netherlands who have Mountain Equipment sleeping bags in stock. They might know how to get hold of the model you like. You can find the stores listed here when you enter your home town.

You can't. This is especially made for the store MEC.

 

[Peter Fransiscus]

Only for sale at MEC .
MEC is a co-op with about 4 million members and a Canada based company .

Wish you well , Peter .

Or you look at the webside ! Given by the link of @Purky. Bever Sport should supply stuff of MEC so give them a call or send an email to them. Bever Sport is allways somewhere around where you live. Here in Rotterdam even are two Bever stores.
Bom caminho

Mountain Equipment is NOT the same as Mountain Equipment Coop.

In the post of Purky is a link to the MEC website in the UK.
On the site is searchbox where the shops are. I can't give the guaranty that they sell MEC but they are mentionned on this site so I should say "give it a try".
I filled in Rotterdam and they pointed out to Bever Sport which likely has a big assortment of sportsgear. We bought our backpacks there ,brand Osprey.And many other things for our 3 caminhos .

It could be that as stated earlier above in this thread that this website is a different to your Canadian one.
Quite confusing two companies in the same field with almost the same name by the way

Not MEC. I hope the OP,didn't get her hopes too high when she read the false alarms from those who do not know what MEC is and posted it sells in Europe. When in doubt, perhaps we should all do a bit of fact checking before giving advice that is not.

We bought these (and they are on sale right now) and they're fabulously small and lightweight. Shipping anything to Europe from Canada is quite expensive, unfortunately. Their website does say "This item ships for free"... to ? Perhaps you could challenge that? https://www.mec.ca/en/product/5034-985/Intrepid-Traveller-15-22C-Sleeping-Bag

Yellow friend, I purchased this exact bag here in Victoria, BC. and it was perfect. You're getting a lot of mixed messages here. I wonder if it might be worth your while to place a long distance phone call to any MEC store in Canada and see if they could offer you any suggestions.

REI is American outdoor equipment co-op similar to MEC in Canada. Here is a link to the REI page for warm-weather sleeping bags. While you probably won't buy from REI because of the same shipping cost issue, you can look at the REI offerings from various manufacturers and then search for that particular sleeping bag at outdoor stores in your area. http://tinyurl.com/1-SeasonSleepinBag

I just calculated Canada Post from Vancouver, BC to the Netherlands for this bag (12" x 6" x 6", 1.5 lbs) and it is $100 Canadian, so MEC's estimate of 50 Euros for shipping is probably pretty spot on (I was thinking I could purchase & send to you cheaper, but no.)

Maybe you can find something like this in Europe. http://tinyurl.com/hzxdww7
It is called a travel blanket. You can add a silk liner for added warmth.

Why do you need a technical bag when sleeping in Albergues. My AUD20 Aldi sleeping 9Mummy) bag is about to do it's third Camino with no problems.

This is a bag intended for tropical and indoor use.

Still seems like overkill. If one is not planning frequent Caminos then a cheap bag will suffice. The added advantage is that you can take a liner to increase the warmth of the cheap bag and then you can soak the liner with pemethrin to deter the bed bugs. Storing the liner in it's own ultrasil (dry) bag seems to maintain the potency of the pemethrin.

then a cheap bag will suffice.

It is on sale for $59 (Canadian) which doesn't seem bad to me. It is lightweight and rectangular, which can better accommodate a liner than a mummy bag can. Pretty good value.

For women in their late 40s/early 50s, this is an excellent bag. Sometimes we sleep very hot and other times, not. This bag is a light sleeping bag on one side and a liner on the other. Two bags in one. Perfect
