Yeah i'll probably do something similar at some point. Or even go for the fabled ultralight pack of under 10lbs excluding consummables. It's all a bit anal but i must say damn it'd feel awesome to...

Went back and swapped it for the Comfort 600 (-6 limit). Much much roomier so fits me well with arms in, and quite a bit warmer too. Still packs down nicely but is about 200grams heavier and probably...

Good points. As mentioned above i'm gunna head back in tomorrow and take a look at the Comforts. Probably go to a -6 one, and nice and comfortable and able to roll over inside it, etc. As you say...

Nice looking pack possum shooter. I'd be a bit concerned over the weight rating though. Depends on your gear I guess.

You're on the money - I haven't been in the hills in winter yet. Is it completely hopeless to try do it with a -5 bag?

I don't want to be dangerous or anything but I assume -5 rating would be on...

Haven't used their bags but I'm a big fan after using their mats. They make good stuff and I'm thinking about 1 of their bags too.

Those Montbell's look good too. Wow at the weight - 750g for a...

My understanding was a 3 season bag (summer, spring, autumn) and then a winter bag. But, yeah - 2 bags.

I'd like to avoid that if possible though and just do it with 1. Which is why I'm hoping I...

Hi all, been a while. Been busy :).

The last piece of light/ultralight gear I need is a good sleeping bag. Been making do with a typical synthetic that's not even that good at 10 degrees fully...
