Weight weenies look away.
Got a (boo-hiss) motorcycle wild camping thing lined up in 2 weeks. Trying to get pack weight to an acceptable level.
The other night in the army bivi I was absolutely roasting. Inside the Helios EV 300 down bag it was just way too warm. But, at 800g I don’t want anything heavier for less insulation. It was on a hillside so I expected a cool breeze overnight, otherwise I may have just slept on top.
Bought this today. At £29 it’s worth a punt.

Same weight (actually 20g heavier: on the scales 820g vs 800g) but synthetic so no more loose feathers.
Was thinking to just use the Snugpak jungle bag. Although the snugpak compresses a bit smaller, I am sure my old version weighs over 1kg when I weighed it.
Anyway, at £29 it might be worth a punt for others who don’t mind 820g for a 2-season synthetic.
