His solution was to use a zero-rated synthetic bag with a thinnish down bag inside, and I have to say the combination was very effective, keeping me toasty even though temperatures fell pretty low at night. I\'ve always wanted a really nice thick down sleeping bag, but they\'re not cheap and the investment just didn\'t seem worth it for the amount of use I\'d get (I don\'t go winter camping that often!). This seemed like an excellent compromise - a more affordable, smaller down bag that you could also use at milder times of year without getting too warm. The only disadvantage was the added bulk of the synthetic bag. - Bob from Nature Travels Fri, 21 Mar 2008 18:04:34 +0100
