What sleeping bag for a ton?

[yodagoat]

What sleeping bag would you go for for around £100? I mostly go camping on my motorbike/car so being lightweight isn't tooooo important, although pack size would preferably be on the smaller side. The most important thing should be how cold I can go as I've been out before, close to winter when it been freezing.
Cheers in advance all.

This one: Alpkit SkyeHigh 800 rated to -10°C at £105.

Or the SkyeHigh 600 (-5°C) is £85.

I've not personally got either of these bags, but I've the early version, AD500 and it's a great bit of kit. One of these would be what my £100 would be going on if I were you.

 

[some like it cold]

a tonne thats a bloody heavy bag that wouldnt want to do too much hiking with that....

oh my bad wrong spelling

How's about one of these?

Softie Elite 3

Been looking at these myself, anygood?

I had the Elite 4 for a couple of years, great bag which I've only just got rid of when I treated myself to an Alpkit down model instead.

I've got a Softie Elite 3 and have used it down to 0c with no probs, but it is only rated as a 3 season bag. If you want a 4 season bag rated to about -10 then try the Softie Elite 4 here http://www.military-supplies.co.uk/sleeping/sleeping-bags/snugpak-softie-elite-4/prod_98.htm.

No connection with this company, just happy with my elite 3 and this is a pretty good price for the elite 4.

Mountain hardwear lamina sleeping bags are great. All the benefits of a down, pack size & comfort, but as it is a synthetic it will not loose it's thermal properties when wet. I used to swear by down especially for alpine trips, however I wouldn't go back after having one of these!

I was going to say Alpkit, but I have agree with the MH Lamina, trouble is they are rarely available for £100 for a comparible heat level as the alpkit.

Order my Alpkit Pipdream 800, but the Skyhigh is the same, just slightly heavier.

I'll let you know how it turns out.
