Thread: Rab mythic ultra 360 ??

Has anyone got one or know first hand about this type of bag and how you rate it thanks. Looking for a all round light option. Any good in the winter months ?

I’ve got the 180, rate it highly and have the mythic 4 & 600 all bloody good. Anything made by Rab is good to go

I have Mythic 600, the outer fabric feels a bit delicate but it has held up well so far. Yet to have it outside in the snow but in an old unheated hut last month I had to sleep under it, unzipped. as it was too warm. RAB puffer jacket I have is the tits too.

Cheers the mythic 400 would be a cooler bag compared to the ultra 360 but less weight and about the same price I’m leaning towards the 360 ultra. The mythic 600 would be to warm for me I think.

What sort of temps do you want to use it for. Not a huge amount of fill, that would be good to just below freezing for me. Not quite enough for an all rounder imo

Was hoping to use it as a all rounder bag tahr hunting is my main target. My macpac latitude 700 has almost identical ratings as this bag and I’ve found it more then enough. Apparently the titanium blend inner adds extra power valve but isn’t included in the bag ratings standards.?

Yea it’s titanium weave I think, I use my 180 with a good liner for most of the year. I’d say the mythic 400 would be good for what you want

Considered it when I did my research over the last month. One thing was clear they are a narrow compact unit which would drive me nuts.

I just ordered a Western Mountaineering Megalite with an extra shot of down. Their reviews are pretty much 5 star across the board. Was $777nzd landed from Hermits Hut and the extra shot of down was a free offer. This will make the bag 736grms and comfort to -4. Over time down bags loose some integrity so a bit of headroom should be considered. This bag has a tone of room which I like.

Western Mountaineering have a good honest website with useful info. I have read hundreds of reviews and landed on this bag.

Nah the latitude is a warmer bag. More fill, (although lower power) but comfort at - 7 rather than extreme at - 7. Personally a comfort minus 7 would be the minimum I would condsider for a year round bag. I'm a relatively cold sleeper though

Ive shivered through enough nights to know its not worth skimping on a bag.

I have looked into the western mountaineering but they wouldn’t ship from the site I looked at. Where have you got your one from? Thanks.

Would you consider wearing a puffer jacket with it also? As I tend to take one with me everywhere. Or has still been to cold?

That only works if your legs and feet have good circulation. I tried this and while it worked for my upper body I just found my feet where still so cold(3 pairs of merino socks all too big so they didn't compress my foot) that I couldn't sleep. If you have have good circulation and don't get cold feet but probably something to consider. I'm going to try down booties next as it did save me about 400grams and was during that frozen snap a month or so.

Yeah I'm the same as below. My legs and feet are what gets cold. Have you looked at the cumulus bags? Well rated and good price. Can buy direct. Someone on here posted a review not long ago

You can borrow my Fairydown Polar, Take your Hot water bottle and Teddy or take a lightweight bag to put over the top of the main bag

@dale what was wrong with the Epic 800 you just got rid of?
