Sleeping bag alternatives

[shogun]

How small? Roughly? Or a Photo?

I ask as I've got the Antartica . and thats quite a big bit of kit to pack away. The benefit of two interlocking smaller bags may be what I'm after.

i also use the snugpak SF combo i can poet pics of them dont ahve them joined at the moment if you need the size of both bags joined i will set it up for you...atb shogun

the sp forces 1 bag is 22cms x 16cms 1.20kg & the sp forces 2 bag is 28cm x 24cms 2.14kg

Could you mate? That would be very useful. Anychance you can incorporate some ubiquitous household item in the photo for idea of scale?

What sort of height , weight and chest size are you? PM if required. I find most bags don't give me the shoulder size , so i do like the Snugpacks due to the expanda panel.

Many Thanks.

Okay, i have narrowed my choices down to two bags - both by Nanok.

1. Nanok Comfort -5 it has:

Extra wide
Zip on both sides
Small pack size
Adjustable neck baffle
Filling 100% insulated fibre
Weight: 1.9 kg
Packed size: 16x16x50 cm
£56

2. Nanok Endurance SF -10 it has:

Compression Sack Size, 18cm x 18cm x 53cm
Filling, Synthetic Fibre
Total weight, 2.3kg
Extra wide and long
Zip on both sides
Removable boot bag
£95

Has anyone on here got either of these bags? Could you give me some indication of actual pack sizes?

On paper the Comfort -5 seems to tick all of my boxes, cheaper, lighter, smaller pack size etc - so why do i WANT the SF model
Help!!!!!!

Buffalo... Ill stand by mine.

I've had a Buffalo bag for over twenty years and find it more of a one or two season item than three. I think washing gives the inside more "loft" too.

As an alternative to conventional bags, try a Fjellduken thermo plus a lightweigth (+5 comfort) sack: https://jerven-com.secure.flexiweb.no/page/7357/. Works for me.
