Hi there,
I'm in the market for a new bag, i currently have a synthetic -5 bag, however its massive and I'm looking to save weight.
If you have one you're not using and want to let go, let me know

Thanks
Harry

And my usual response is will you pay what I'm asking?
I have a spare J&H Ultra Flouro
Still close to State of the Art and with many seasons left in it
It is genuinely for sale tho to fund this seasons skiing
Paid $760-+ for it new

Massdrop have a Klymit 20F for $130 US + $20 US shipping at the moment https://www.massdrop.com/buy/klymit-ksb ... guest_open. No idea how good Klymit bags are, their packs are ok. Maybe bigger/heavier than you are looking for.

Thanks Moondog, but im after a bag that's going to be a tighter fit than that one. Thanks for the link damoprz, but the estimated shipping date is the 27th and i would be worried about it not turning up in time as its coming for the US

I guess I'm a touch bigger than average.
What exactly are you chasing tho as the temperature rating your asking for is marginal for winter and very marginal for above the snowline. There is however a WM Highlite on sale which would be an excellent part of a 2 bag system and therefore extremely versatile

The same question arises over and over. "Comfort" or "Limit of Comfort" ?????????.

The two are very different. Be sure of what you want and what applies to possible purchases.

"Extreme" is not relevant.

Thanks for the advice guys, I'll be using it for camping in Central Australia this Winter, I would also like to use it for camping in Jindabyne this winter as well.

I've been doing this for a while now
I don't think you would find a better or more versatile light weight system than that WM Highlite plus one of Tier-Gears Extra large 80GSM synthetic quilts

But if cheap is a priority I have just the deal for you
