• I would love to justify a down bag but they're so expensive! I'd only really invest if I wanted a 3/4 season bag, so that I could get the most out of it, weight/warmth wise.

    If you're just going spring/summer, and only a couple nights at a time, why not get a 2/3 season synthetic for cheaps? It'll still be quite light, and wont cost the earth. You can spend the money saved on down layers, a warm liner, a rad hat or something.

    Snugpaks travel ones are quite light for synthetic. Travelpak 3 is reasonably light and compresses to about the size of a football, at 1500g. Hardwearing too. And £45 with no dead goosies.

    imo. idk. ive convinced myself anyway!

  • I have that Snugpak, I've found it pretty cold in anything but the warmest weather, which makes me think I probably sleep relatively cold (or just like to be warm). Maybe I should give it another go and just wear more clothes/ mtfu.

  • Maybe just step up to a slightly warmer one? As far as I can see, the -5 comfort bags are only 200g heavier, and marginally larger when compressed.
