It's a minus 4 rated but I hunt CNI so it works well.

I quite rate it but have never done a mid winter umakarikari hunt yet so will do a report then

Haha I've had -5 in there in March. Was the first and last hunting trip the missus came on

Well I done good and played myself.

It depends on how you sleep I get hot in the super light but I do love it.

@msingleton If I am worn out from a big day and not eating enough I could get cold in the fairydown Polar.
Other times I roast. So the answer is buy the bigger 1.1 kg halo and take a down jacket as well that you can wear in your bag or as a layer when glassing

How are you guys that have the domex superlight getting on with them? Particularly in the colder months. Is it more designed to be a summer bag? And how are they lasting?
thanks

i use mine all year round, in colder weather use a silk sleeping bag liner and in summer dont worry about it as it adds afew degrees to the bags rating
