They may be decent quality, as the last item i received from Hong Kong, was a very high quality silk tie.
We all know about the terrible animal suffering in China and the Far East, but not ordering one of these sleeping bags, will not change that situation, and not every Chinese manufacturer use such practices.
Animal suffering fills me with great sadness, but not buying a particular item, will not change the situation much.
Its down to you, and how you feel about the purchase of a down slleping bag, if it worries you, go synthetic.
As for the tie, it features the map of the London Underground printed on it, and cost a ridiculous £6 which included the p&P.
I won it on ebay, and thought, if it does not show up, then i have not blown a fortune, but show up it did, and the quality is quite remarkable.
As for purchasing a down sleeping bag from the Far East, you may be extremely lucky and receive something that is very high quality.
I know a silk tie and a sleeping bag are entirely different items, but it will all come down to price.
If the asking price is tempting, then i suggest you give it a go.
Read the description of the item carefully, and if you can, send the dealer a message, regarding how long it would take to arrive.
If the dealer responds to your enquiry, and his asking price is considerably less than a similar item here in the Uk, then i suggest go for it.
If you can pay with Pay Pal, more the better, for the added insurance that will bring.
The Internet has opened up the World, and if you like the look of the sleeping bag, and its well priced, go for it.
I was more than happy with my silk tie, and the sleeping bag, may indeed be a quality item.
It will come down to the price, as buying from China no longer means buying cheap rubbish, as was the case years ago.
