I really rate it for the sale price of $100 or something I paid and have definitely used it in 3 seasons but just don’t feel like it is the 4 season bag it claims to be. (About same size as the pic of a bag bush bashed put up)

mountain warehouse has some excellent gear for the price.

I've got a Katabatic quilt, it's awesome and packs down very small (I got the Alsek 22f ~ -5.5C), their summer one would pack down/weigh even less/smaller.

I've linked a summer one.

Cheers

Try the Rab mythic ultra

I run sea to summit spark 0. 255grams, packs down tp a coke can it's warmer than you think and I run in the shoulder season with some warmer clothes. Have done winter trips with it in huts too.

I brought a Roman Palm IV a few years back. nice and small. only rated down to +5C. One of my mates had one before me but he finds it a bit short, he's well over 6' and I'm not so if to does get cool I can use the hood.
not down, has that heat reflective lining ????

I use a Macpac Dragonfly 400 for everything except winter, has been great so far & at 730gms is almost a kilo lighter than my winter bag!

I bought a Exped from here - and a bunch of other gear also. Pricing is very good, and delivery not at all shabby.

If you would consider a quilt then have a look at a One Planet Quest Pro. About 500gms and 800 loft down
Last pricing I saw was $367 from Southern Adventure in Invercargill (FB)
I haven’t got one but I do have (2) One Planet bags and think they are good value, I can check it out before I buy and still support local guy

I can’t remember what the temp rating is but I’ve used it in the Oamaru valley in a tent in the middle of winter and I wasn’t cold.

On the advice from an old hunting cobber I have just bought a EXPED Winter-lite down bag x-Bivouac Sports $525 and it looks perfect, one sleep in it so far very comfy & warm and with a silk liner will be the dux nuts...some really good points, good collar to keep the warmth in, can fit a pillow into the hood [inflatable] and luminous buttons on the zips, rated -5, carry-bag and great compression sac supplied...bring on winter...

I got the Kiwiultralight quilt. Just like the enlightened equipment one above but made in Nelson nz. Really good service and delivery. I got the hottest one it’s bloody warm can use on the mountain in winter. Very small and light.

They have some other good kit too.

Weight,volume and price for that Nelson product please.
