Thread: Exped waterbloc pro sleeping bag

Anyone running one of these? Interested to hear what the waterproofness is like and whether or not this compromises breathability? Looks good on the paper. Also looking at the one planet bushlite/winterlite models with the weather resistant outer. Will be used under a fly. Done the bivvy bag thing for a while but it’s just another thing to carry and dry out etc.

I have one price was right but haven't tested in anger.
Not the latest model a few years old.
The advertising show them sitting in water etc.
Have found zip to be fiddly.
If you want can send it too you to try out if you want.

Thanks for the offer there Ernie, yea I’ve had a good look at one in bivouac, I was surprised how small it packed down considering the material and rating

I am running an Enlightened Equipment quilt rated -17c (which I would take with a grain of salt).
Find I am using a cheap Flames Creed one and it is fine in tents and huts, Ruapehu Huts in October pretty good frost in morning.
The EE one is too warm until it is cold as buggery.
Use it May to Sept.
The bags quilts now are heaps better weight wise compared to 40 year old Fairydown Liteweights.

Yea I’ve been pondering the quilt path but I still stuck on the option of being able to zip up a bag and hunker down when needed
