isnt 650 loft pretty decent? been looking at this https://www.bivouac.co.nz/gear/campi...-trek-tk2.html loft is the same as the kathmandu but the rating is -8 lower confort level, is that the same "limit" as the kathmandu im guessing? i mean realistically, it hardly ever goes below the 0 degree mark in the north island.

thanks for the advice man! (wish i had the dough for your express, looks like a bloody nice bag)

Mate it often gets way below zero in the north island... I've had my socks freeze solid...inside the hut!
