For the sake of 500 grams and a bit of bulk the difference climbing into a super warm bag and one that's just warm enough..... :wink:

With weigh in prowess at stake, I'm taking my lightest bag, which I will undoubtedly regret....

The only "heavy" bag I have is my Buffalo 4 season. It is lovely and warm, but weighs a ton a does not pack small at all, so it's the lightweight bag again for me. Though I think I might nip down town at lunchtime and get a silk bag liner...

Buffalo bag will cope better with a 'wet' weekend though,I'm biased though
Because I use a Superbag for cold trips and a Lightweight Outer with their
Pertex Thermaliner for warmer,lighter trips :wink:
