    Its pretty standard for ultra light bags to be well over $700. Thats on the cheap side. Anything over 800+ down is pricey.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    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.
