Hi i search something for "all around" but more for winter, even if it is over, iam always late ^^'.

Eternal debate between down or synthetic in my head.... My goal is to travel one month and sleep always outside, i have bad experience with down in Iceland (long trip) which absorbed too much humidity and lost it's power a bit, maybe a vapor barrier and higher comfort can change that.

im thinking to travel for September to October in Laponia, Sarek and some other places, it will depend my level before, but rain can be everyday and humidity.


iam interested by this:



carinthia defence 4 : some people use it when it was -10 /15 easily, other people complaint that they change the quality of this model and is not the "same" but i thinking to buy this one and maybe with good layering can be ok untill-20, not the 6 because to heavy.

Cumulus teneqa 1000



rab ascent


cumulus alaska




cumulus teneqa and rab are very Interesting but in a long trip i get the same fear that is not good like my trip in Iceland with my S2S but if i take a higher comfort it can maybe be fine. But with a synthetic i will be maybe more safe.

thank for your time
