Thread: Looking for new lightweight high performance sleeping bag?

I had thermals and fleece pants on as a couple months ago I got caught out and we just about suffered hyperthermia, was the coldest I have ever been and woken by pain and the sensation of my legs shutting down is an experience I wish never to repeat.

Was super warm, too warm with the pants on, just sleeping on the ground (no mat).
Bag design is awesome with lots of stretch and it's not a suffercating design so allows lots of wiggle room which makes for a better nights sleep. I'm about 6 foot so went for the long model which was primo for extra room and didn't feel like I lost any heat retention because of it.

All and all, stoked with the purchase.

Great to hear. I really like the stretchy material of the Downhugger and the lightness too. That bag is a +40F so being warm under the comfort rating is good.

great comparison.... Sleeping Bag Weight Comparison Chart | Switchback Travel

The Montbell burrow bag is good value.

I've just ordered myself one of these:

It's a -6 rated quilt, 550grams. My current Sea to Summit bag is -6 rated at 1.2KG. If I like this quilt enough I'll order a -17 for the seriously cold stuff, the -17 is still only about 700grams. Crazy.

I just received an EE/Massdrop quilt - 20F rating and 646gm (bag only)...Looks very good and was pretty reasonable price USD225.
