The aussie trampers rate them.
Tramping hiking reviews are worth studying some of them really know what they are talking about.
They spend a lot of time and money on the same gear as hunters and some do big trips and use in all conditions.

@Dicko , EXPED Downmat , not sure what model but couple years old , much better than the neo air I had

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 ?

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

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