Hello,

I'm looking for a new sleeping bag that is reasonably priced. I've completed my ML training and will be looking to wild camp on the hill over the winter.

Any suggestions where to look? Obviously a down filled bag that packs down small is preferable but realise that they are v. expensive.

Cheers

Taunton Leisure had a sale on some of the ME bags.

Save up! Alpkit, hyperlight, zpacks.. or go for a well known brand stocked in mainstream stores.

Make sure you look at the comfort rating (comfy sleep at this temp) and not the extreme rating (the temp at which you probably won't die but may not sleep) and bear in mind if you are fat/tall/short then bags will need to fit you snugly to be effective.

Check features like zip and shoulder bafflers, foot boxes, waterproofness, etc, which side do you get out? Which side do you sleep on? Bag choice is very personal.
