Same with me, with a semi inflated thermarest underneath and pair of fleecy trousers stuffed down the end . It all really worked well in the hammock at the weekend.

Please don't take my "total lack of feedback" as a sign of not being interested! I find it very nice and informative and I'm sorry I didn't reply earlier ...
Bjorn Victor said:...I wonder how many degrees a cotton liner would add to the bag's limits?...
Bjorn Victor said:...Thanks for doing this test Paul. I really appreciate it. I hope you had some fun in the process...

Bjorn Victor said:...I'll report back fo those who are interested...
AndyW said:Have fun Bjorn!
Rab bags always seem to be great but I just know I'll end up getting the down wet. Hence today I ordered both the Nanock Endurance 0 and -10 from Andrew at Outdoorcode. After reading everything said about them on here it could only be them.
Can't wait to get them and try them
Just a thought but would fog, sweat, morning dew etc be an issue even with the pertex liner. I think you can wash the nanock in your washing machine but if the pertex has any breathability at all then i would the persistant wet of the above conditions be an issue?TheGreenMan said:Hello AndyW,
If at anytime in the future you would like to buy a down filled bag, dont worry too much about the down getting wet. The down bag that Bjorn bought has a Pertex fabric shell, which would prevent the down from becoming wet. I know that Pertex is only water resistant, but it should keep the down dry in most conditions under some sort of shelter such as a tarp (and for a good while without overhead protection). Stick the bag inside a bivi, and its pretty much guaranteed to stay dry, unless you were using it continuosly for months in monsoon conditions :umbrella:
I think the concerns about wet down only really applies to bags with the old, non-water resistant shell fabrics.
Hope you like the Nanoks
Best regards,
Paul.

bilko said:...My oldest woke with a soaked bag around the feet where he had been touching the tent wall all night and the wet had got in...
bilko said:...Also , if the pertex is not breathable i imagine the sweat will quickly be an issue.
AndyW said:Thanks Paul....
AndyW said:...I've never used a bivy bag yet. In the past I'd just sleep under the stars so haven't been sure how breathable they are and, as bilko says, worry that sweat etc might make a Down bag damp.
