Looking at a couple, this one sticks out to me Latitude 500 XP Down Sleeping Bag | Macpac NZ nz company, (easy returns or warranty claims), EN ratings that seem appropriate to nz climate (warm enough for winters ?), quite light at 1.1kg, 700+ loft. Steep price but I'll wait for sale as I'm not really in a rush, also may know a guy who can get it cheaper for me. Thanks guys!

I have that sleeping bag, they are hot in summer, but what I did was buy the escapade?? 150 that goes inside, have slept with these 2 together in -4 central north island in a tent with thermals on and roasty, and while tenting over summer with family slept in the 150. Perfect combo
