    Has anyone used this bag

    http://besthikingtents.com.au/produc...o-Hooded-785g/

    I was just browsing around, and I saw this. A winter sleeping bag under 2 pounds, that isn't even down.

    It seems too good to be true.

    I'm almost positive that's a rated to 7 degrees Celsius (44.5F), judging from some of the other sites that are selling that bag outside the US.

    That makes sense. I was converting the weight and length to US standard, and didn't even think about temp.

    i have a very similar bag from Suisse Sport that i got off of amazon for somewhere around that price. it packs the same and id go so far as to say follows those same temperature ratings. that said, it might be completely different all together..

    I don't mean to hijack the thread, but how is that bag? I've thought about getting one for a multi-use TQ.

    i like it - very packable (hard but not impossible to get it the size of pic). I took it down to ~30deg with a DIY wally world UQ but im a bit of a warm sleeper. Im 6'2" 220lbs so its a little small on me but perfect for a TQ. waiting on a thread injector to cut the zippers and hood to fully convert it.

    Back on track..
