I have been looking at getting a new sleeping bag as my pat 58 army one is a bit too much to carry around, considering it was over 2kg and takes up quite a bit of room in the rucksac even after compressed.
So I got looking at the Alpkit Skyhigh 600 as a replacement as the price is about right.
Has anyone had much experience with this particular bag? I am looking to use it in a hammock each year mainly from March to October/November with either end of the seasons being up here in Scotland. So not sure if -5 will be ok.
I would also like to use it as my summer bag for things like the Bushmoot and any courses I do down at Woodsmoke in the Lakes.
I did see on Rays site that the Nanok Osprey sleeping bag was a bit cheaper and had a lower rating of -10 and it looks nice but the weight is 2kg and just about as big as my army bag but it did have a centre zip unlike the Alpkit bags.
I also have or rather my girlfriend has a snugpak 3 season bag and I have been allowed to use it once and found that ok but still a bit bulky.
I have used Alpkit in the past and they have given pretty good service but I just want to see if the bag is right for me.
