I have been looking at the Rab down bags in the shop the other day and was really impressed. The Quantum 600 weighs 900 odd grams, and folds down to about 25x15cm, which is about the size of a fully compressed and halve folded thermalite 2.5cm thick kip mat. That's small for a sleeping bag. Bu tthe impressive thing is that this 4 season down bag is rated down to -12. It certainly feels it in the shop, and is featherweight with a Pertex outer. It's so good, that I am willing to fork out the £250 odd asking price.
The question is though, has anyone tried them and do they live up to the hype? I'm a cold sleeper but want ultra light weight but don't mind paying for it if i have to. £250 for a lifetime bag is worth it to me if it is as good as it seems.
