I would prefer to buy a synth sleeping bag but it looks like synthetics just do not compete on the warmth to weight stakes at all, so I would be willing to compromise by buying a second hand down bag. I guess I would not be out if the temps are much below 5 degrees, so I'm trying to compile a list of bags to scour ebay for by seeing brands that people recommend on this thread. ATM I have thought of:
RAB neutrino 200
PHD minimus K
PHD m.degree 200 K
Mountain Hardware Helium Quilt (this seems really cheap, even new?)
Mountain Hardware Classic 300
Mountain Hardware Helium 250 (bit over specced, down to 1 degree)
Mountain Hardware Helium Solo (Bit under specced, up to 7 degrees)
Marmot Micron 40
Marmot Phase 30
Montbell Down Hugger 800
Montbell Seamless Down Hugger 900 (fuck comes up with these names)
Anyone have any other suggestions / a vague price guide? I guess I'm looking at between 150-250 for a second hand "decent brand" 4 degree bag?
