Yup, I am having a big heartsearch over this but I already have one of the bigger snugpacks...

...and I think everyone knows my distaste for sleeping bags; almost as big as my distaste for hammocks.

Anyone know anything about it?

Perhaps a bit more detail would help?

I can only recall the Pharaoh, circa early 80’s, IIRC it was a winter bag, no idea of rating.

Phoenix were well renowned, innovative and well made quality kit, I’ve still got a few bits in use.

The tents have a bit of a deservedly cult following. Do some homework, search the net and maybe keep an eye on eBay to see if any sleeping bags come up?

Look for a "barrel bag" design. Mine is down on top, Hollofill synthetic bottom. Middle is 2X wider than top and bottom ends so you can thrash around in the night without a straight jacket. The hood will close to a 3" snot-hole. -10C but in wind-proof shelters, never uncomfortable.
