Thread: Sleeping bag advice

Flying into the st Arnaud area over Easter and I'm after a new sleeping bag . Been toying between these two and wondered if anyone had first hand experience or can offer another option.
Looking for around the 1kg mark and 500ish $
with a minus 5-10 rating
I'm 6ft1 and 100kg

Go the Halo.

@SGR i just brought the halo to go down south last month i didn't want to go down south and end up cold. Any how i didnt get to test the bag out it was hot as weather. I brought the standard size bag and found ok for size wise but wouldn't want it much shorter am about 1.8 tall

I have got the Talus 2, was cold every trip prior to purchase, never been cold since. Awesome bag.
Im 85kg and 5.11 and the standard size works, Was in the same area your planning to go, with Tasman Helicopters in October and I was never cold.

Hey man what bag did you end up getting I’m looking one of the halos but the talus 2 looking like a option
