Want something just a bit lighter.
Looking at what is available around the 700-900 grams mark.
Sorting some lighter gear for some armed tramps.
Always reckon you need to allow for the worst.
CNI no wind clear sky with a bit of altitude can get cold any time of the year.
Always use a liner and have merino tee,long johns,beanie,pufffer and socks to put on if needed.

Yep my old bag before the MCIII is a 30 year old Fairydown Scorpion. Still going fine. Weighs 1.3kg or so I think. Just like you I was looking for a lighter bag for warmer weather. The MC III is 800 gm and pretty versatile. I like it. Not as roomy as the Fairydown but ok. Sounds like you have it sorted! Liner, long johns, tick tick tick.
