Sac 3

[winterling]

Has anyone had experience with/own the One planet Sac 3 bag? Thinking it may be an option re extended trips where prolonged dampness is an issue.

From memory the Moutain Hardware Lamina weighs less- it is really nice- my wife has one. From the US they are quite cheap.

I have a North Face Mammoth, a climashield bag for us big guys, and it only weights 1.8kg, and the blooming thing is monstrous. I reckon that OP bag is too heavy for what it is.

I'll let you know in a couple of weeks. I just bought one. I was tossing up between it and a Mont, See viewtopic.php?f=15&t=4043&hilit=Mont+synthetic

I ended up going with the Sac 3 because
A) EN rating
B) Price (I got the sac 3 for $170, Mont would have been around $230 or so I think)
C) size, compresses down quite well

Now it may not be as warm as a Mont Extreme, but I've decided I won't be doing any hardcore camping up on the top of a mountain
I was hesitant because it's got a fill which I was having troubles finding info about, but from what I've read one planet are a great brand that stand behind their products (not the Mont isn't of course).

Only time will tell though if I made the right choice!

I was tucked away in this sleeping bag in -1 (it was -1 at 7.30am, not sure how much colder it got) in Ouse, just east of the central highlands in Tassie the other day. I had thermals, a beanie and was in the back of a regular station wagon (figured it would be warmer than our airy tent?). I was also lying on a regular air bed, not a thermarest of any kind. Anyway, it wasn't exactly toasty warm, but it was OK. I wasn't cold, but I also wouldn't have minded having something warmer under me. I would expect to be warmer with a properly insulated mattress under me? Perhaps I'll give it a go in Canberra as well, but from growing up in Canberra, I know it can get *&%$#! cold...
