Thread: Sleeping Bags - Down or Dacron (synthetic)

I just ordered one of these. Seem to get good reviews for the price. My main bag is a Macpac Lattitude 500xp and I have never been cold in it even in the Tahr blocks but wanted something lighter for walk in spring/summer/autumn hunting.

Will be very keen to hear how you get on with it, particularly towards the fringes of the temperature rating..

Are You planning to run this with an xtherm?

Yeah that's the one. I originally had a curved shaped Neo Air. Since upgraded to the Xtherm square shape which I find far more comfortable. Not much weight difference either.

Hoping the xtherm + quilt combo will work well, being that the Xtherm is meant to be 4season. Going by my research it should work well... @Nibblet

Should be primo.
From memory that's what @BRADS runs, can't remember what brand his quilt is though, reckons it keeps him well toasty.

Ahhh so many toys to try.

personally I believe a liner ups rating by about 5 degrees on any bag.

Are you talking like a fleece liner of some kind? Or a cheap second $15 sleeping bag? I looked on the warehouse and the sleeping bag was the only thing i could find that i think you mean?
