The company that sells the sleeping bag is Polish and I did contact them and they mentioned that "when we send goods to the UK we deduct Polish Tax 23%". Its not clear on the website if the price of the bag, which is listed in GBP has this already taken off. If not it might net itself out as I would get 23% off the cost(Polish Tax) and then get 22% added on(Custom Charge) plus the delivery charge.
If anybody know the suppliers of these sleeping bags in UK then that might be easier or might have to look at Alpkit.
Can't add much to that, other than to say that several friends previously bought Cumulus and found it excellent quality and service (pre-B-word). Some bags have a differential fill (less on bottom than top) which may or may not suit you. As a side sleeper, I decided against. I would ask them about what price is showing, to be certain. As far as I'm aware, the Cumulus brand is not distributed by anybody in the UK.
I have a light Alpkit Pipedream, which I love for warmer weather and has done many trips. Great bag. For winter, I ended up with PHD, when I was feeling flush, and haven't regretted it.
