Its pretty standard for ultra light bags to be well over $700. Thats on the cheap side. Anything over 800+ down is pricey.

Waiting to see it myself. Passing through customs as we speak. Fingers crossed I get the glancing eye rather than a full check over and skip GST.

You can't go past a One Planet Booster bag! Super small (little bigger then a can of Bake Beans) and weighs next to nothing. Its more than warm enough for all the seasons excluding Winter. All though I have slept in a tent in the snow it, was more than warm in enough, but I do sleep in a Sea to Summit sleeping bag liner and on top of a down filled exped sleeping mat.
At the $250 I paid, it is definitely worth a look!

Bloody nice bit of kit. If it's good enough for the military, it will do what I need it to do.

Snugpak softie elite. Seriously? Does it come in any colour other than pink?

32x26cm compressed and 2.4kg is not what I would consider compact, or lightweight.

Jesus. That size and weight is the antithesis of this thread.
