UKH

I am a female of average weight/height and a cold sleeper. I am looking for a 3/4 season down bag mostly for UK conditions. I would like to use it for backpacking in area like Dartmoor and the Lakes in our colder conditions.

I do own a 1 season very light weight bag - so I would consider purchasing the slightly lighter 3 season bags and shove the 1 season inside like a liner if it is really cold.

My boyfriend is also on the hunt for a bag. His requirements are similar but he is 6'7"... and does not own a super light weight summer bag.

Any recommendations... thinking £200-£350 so a broad price range there (but the lower the better.)

I bought a 3 season rab neutrino..lightweight, hydrophobic but cold in the toe..checking out if this is normal as a good bag otherwise in your price range..and I am a cold sleeper..its done me well this year in alps..packs small

Joe Brown's have some good deals on Rab bags at the moment.

Cave and Crag and The Climbers shop have some good deals on Mountain Equipment bags.

Check out Alpkit. Can't fault mine.

A review from this parish. I'm 6'2" and have room to spare:

It would tick most of your boxes - light, decent packed size, 3 season, down, sensible price (for down).

I sleep cold too and have been through a number of sleeping bags, I seem to have ended up with a couple of Cumulus - can't fault them.

In reply to SP91:

I've had an Alpkit Pipedream for 7 years now, still going strong, can't really fault it.

Any recommendations for women's bags at all? I tend to favour the shape of these as I find men's bags too roomy.

I would go to PHD if i was you http://www.phdesigns.co.uk/sleeping-bags you buy direct from them & can customise your bag to your size. The quality of the product is second to none & worth the outlay in my opinion

Plus 1. They are also very light and compress down well without losing insulation when re-lofted.
