Sea to summit thermal liner might be your best bet? Nevis Sport sell snugpak sleeping bags which do pack up small. Some people give them good reviews however I don't think I've ever been warm in mine.

I've got 2 liners on the go at the moment in this piece of shit bag and still dying.

Anybody interested in a brand new Yeti Fusion Dry 900+ bag? Size L (fits 175-190 cm). PM me if you're interested

I'd second this!
Well worth the money in my opinion. -

expensive!!

Lol. Good things aren't cheap.

did you sell your phd in the end?

Im between this:
PhD minimus (£311 with zip)
Criterium Quantum (£235)
They are both about the same weight. I only really do camping in spring/summer (I'm weedy that way).
Is the PhD really worth the extra ££? I also need a mat.

nah not much in those 2 bags. PHD is 70g lighter.
the criterium is decent. 870 down.
The phd might have a bit more down in it, can't see how much.
I wouldn't bother with a zip, useless. Just there to wind you up.
If you're local to open air then buy that, you can go in and check it. Plus support local shop is always good.

for lightweight thermarest neo air x lite.

Yeah I sold it a while back, but mine was a heavier one, much warmer than I needed.
I'm planning on getting an ultralight half bag from phd, made to match my down jacket.
My bivvy is a pretty warm one with a heat reflective coating inside so down jacket and half bag makes more sense for me. -

I'd also second Skinny's comments on the zip. They bug the shit out of me on sleeping bags. Always catching on the fabric, especially ultralight fabric, and especially if you're in a sleepy state! :)

Not sure if it's all that easy to get the brand over in the UK but I've had great success with my Spark SPII by Sea to Summit. With a thermal liner I slept comfortably down to about -2, and with my silk liner it was fine down to 5. Best part is it weighs shit all and packs down to the size of a large grapefruit. I'm also a big fan of grapefruit as a vitamin packed breakfast food, or for alleviating the common cold.

cheers...has anyone tried alpkit's cloud base?
-
• #269
I think alpkit stuff I've used is at the lower end of the market.
Edit: Though that does look decent for the price, but 400g! Get one and try, can alaways return.
Reviews are really positive. Might get one myself. Sold out. -

I have a alpkit pipe dream which is a fanstastic summer bag

This is officially the only thing to have made me laugh today.
Thanks! -

I still have a brand new PHD Minim 200 Down Bag that I'll probably not use.
No Zip, standard length and width
~430g -
• #273
Which ones that on their website? Their range designation is a bit shit.
-
• #274
I bought it last year, they might've changed their range.
Sounds similar to the Minimus http://www.phdesigns.co.uk/minimus-down-sleeping-bag?osCsid=0ct7hk2mutqdn4644tjuq6l281 -

How much you after?
Recommend me a sub-£100 synthetic 3-season bag that packs small? Preferably from either blacks, mountain warehouse or nevisport. I'm currently freezing to death just outside aviemore....
