Do they do recycled down bags now?
-
Back from a week's car camping, and realising my aged frame is no longer so happy with my old mat. OH was very happy with her cushy self-inflating mat, but it's massive and weighs a ton. Unfortunately so am I; any suggestions for a mat suitable for a side sleeper who's 195cm and over 100 kg?

Thought they were cold? Not an issue for summer camping I suppose.

Anyone used a Hammock Gear Burrow quilt or know anything about them? There's a used one available for way too much money and I want to just buy it to see what it's like but it would be good to have a review.

OMM and Big Agnes do light, compact synthetic bags. Neither are particularly warm, OMM are quite a slim cut. PHD do synthetic bags, relatively light for their warmth but very spendy.
Mountain Hardware Lamina (?) range used to be reasonable balance of cost, weight and warmth. Look to have gone up in price recently.

@hippy This is probably too late, but I've used a 40°F (5C) bag from them for the past few years and have no complaints other than that temp range is only really useful in the summer.
With layers and a nice liner I've use it in the shoulder seasons quite a bit, but to varying degrees of success (some quite cold nights).

It's got better down and it's rated colder than my Mountain Designs bag which we just used in Scotland, down to 2C. It clearly lofts a lot more than my current bag so I think I should be fine in winter (famous last words) so long as I don't go sleeping up any mountains.
Oh wait, were you talking about the quilt? Forget me, I've bought a sleeping bag already. But I am looking for a quilt for the missus.

Link doesn't seem to work, but the "8557111" 'trekking inflatable pillow - grey' is what we've had for about 5 years +. Used to be around £7-8, one of them has a slow puncture so goes down in the night, but honestly best £7-8 spent in a long time. Reguarly take it with us for flights/cheaper end of the market hotels/hostels/bunkhouses and staying at mates houses where their pillows utterly suck. Its small, but its a welcome addition to any backpack. Probably are better fancier ones out there but happy with that one.
