Thread: What sleeping bag to buy

The army surplus nz ones look awesome - comparable weight and warmth to the Domex but $150. Worth a look.

I’ve got a domex halo, it’s been fine most times of year but definitely not a great South Island winter bag for me. Will go with the likes of a heavier Macpac next time.
What did you end up with @WildBrad ?

I've got a macpac one that does well at -10. Add that liner and it's cozy as.

Send it to twin needle and get them to top up the down, will make a world of difference.....been meaning to get mine done too, great roomy bag just the temp rating a little optimistic, not been a huge issue with a thermolite bag liner and a decent sleeping mat but imagine if I used it in minus 7-10 it would be character building

I got one of these from a NZ supplier a year or so back and it's bloody awesome, packs down small as, dwr outer, just over 1kg and it lofts up tonnes and is super warm. Have we a Halo also and this is way better in every way .

If anyone's interested I've found a local nz seller. Based in taupo. Bootsandgear.com. $499 I can't find anything thats better for that price. I've just ordered one and will post my thoughts on it after I've put it to the test. I'm sure it's the bees knees if Ryan has recommended it . I also picked up a wee honey badger knife after Ryan recommend it and it's bloody amazing. Thanks Ryan!

Nice, love my one. Are you Tim C as in we used to kick around a bit back in the day in Oamaru?

I've done a little bit of pig hunting in Oamaru but I don't think it's me you're thinking of.
