> I have a PHD Minim 300 (300g of down) bought in the sale and a ME Mountain Marathon bag (175g of down)*.
> The ME bag is as warm as the PHD and feels better made. I bought the PHD as I love a cottage industry manufacturer and I bought into the hype. I'm not sure if it was justified. There's nothing wrong wiht the bag but it hasn't blown me away either.
> On the ME I know it's a specialist bag but it feels really "full" of down, the stitching is great and the EXL system does make it feel v. warm. If I was buying another bag I've be getting an ME, probably the Firefly!
> Had a google, it was called the Mountain Equipment Xero MM Sleeping Bag
I agree. My PHD beg was rated at -15c and was feeling cool at-5c ..not good. Give them their due though after I sent it back they added an extra 150g of down. Its much better now but of course the bag is not the advertised weight now.
Cumulus, Tundra, Western Mountaineering, Feathered Friends and Mountain Equipment all do good bags.
