I'm looking for around the 1kg mark and have my eye on this Macpac one:

Express 600 Standard | Equipment | Clearance | Macpac New Zealand


or this Mountain Equipment one.

MOUNTAIN EQUIPMENT Glacier 500 Sleeping Bag - Reg | Trade Me


What do you reckon guys? Any better suggestions?

You will freeze even with a good bag without an insulation mat.The down compresses and has no loft= no warmth on the back(I use an FD scorpion 850)you will get to sleep but the cold will wake you.
