Thread: Ultra small down sleeping bag

I don't think they sell them anymore but I have seen them available on the second hand market. I have used one for years. Tiny weight/size. Not the best for mid winter with ice and snow (I've tried that) but excellent for 3 seasons.

I also have one of these - and with a good mat they're excellent for the slightly warmer seasons, and good thermals etc doable for slightly colder -but not too cold unless you're really layering them up.
