I'm looking for a sleeping bag for my girlfriend for Patagonia and I'm a bit lost on where to start... mainly on the temperature thing. Most things seem to say 30° F (which I guess is 0° C) will be fine.
Is that equivalent to a 3 season bag and as she feels the cold, is a 4 season a safer bet?
Next does anyone have any suggestions for a suitable synthetic * bag that's relatively small and doesn't cost the earth / as close to £50 as possible?
Cheers
*I'm working on the assumption that as there's a good chance of rain synthetic makes more sense, but is the whole wet + down thing exaggerated?
