Thread: Looking for new lightweight high performance sleeping bag?

With the boys getting into hunting we need a third bag. Currently have a Kathmandhu Moonraker (v.warm, little bulky), and a Sea to Summit Micro MCIII.

The MCIII is super light, and compacts well with 850+ down.

Looking for some similar but perhaps a little warmer. Any recommendations?

Next one up the list from the micro 3? Or add a liner

Yep but there are 3 of us, so chance to get a new one. Kuiu and Feathered Friends look good.

If you want super light, quilts are the business. My -7 rated quilt is 550 grams.

this is a hybrid bag/quilt. Look pretty cool

Or get a zpacks bag

547grams for a -7

Quilts are interesting! Prefer a bag though, water resistant too. Zpacks look good. I quite like the look of the Kuiu 15 Super Down Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Sleeping Bag | KUIU and if you watch the video you can see the stretch in the material. Quite a difference in $ with Zpacks much cheaper for similar temp.

Mont Bell make good bags. Water resistant down is a load of shit by the way, it lasts a short while which is enough to sell it to people.

The kuiu bag will come in close to $1000NZD.

Yep seems too good to be true...a water resistant shell is better...quite surprised how well the Moonraker sheds water. Mont Bell do make good gear what I have seen but don't have any personally.

exped do water resistant outers, waterblock its called

mont bell is hard to get in NZ now that iclimb arent distributing it

Why not a booster for current bag? Sea to summit do them

There are me and 2 boys, so chance to get another bag... - wife bought that story so am running with it. Zpacks hard to beat, and mate going to the States in a few weeks.

Just be aware that there stuff is generally made to order

With the bags anyway

Yep I looked and the one I want came up with ships 1-2 days. Thinking straps and zip...have a neo xtherm that is easy to slide off. Wouldn't mind the triplex tent too...may have to be one or the other.
