Hi Guys - John Abela put me on to this. A new sleeping bag from a Polish manufacture that weighs in at 480 grams with temp rating at comfy level of 5 degrees, limit at 1 degree.
This equates to my Western Mountaineering Highlite (love it!). I can't track down the price or cost of shipping, but you can start your research at http://malachowski.pl/web/en/sleeping-bags/4-spiwor-puchowy-ultralight-ii-300.html

The pack is the 45Lt Zpacks Arc Blast, hiking poles Helinox FL120, Dirty Girl gaiters, Spalms sunsleeves and Altra Lone Peak shoes
Hey Rob,
ReplyDeleteIt is priced at 989 PLN (Polish Zloty) which as of today is 348 NZD.
A rather impressive bag, eh!
And that Torey fabric... very nice stuff!
John - That's quite a good price. I wonder how much they will add on for freight? Love to get one, but do I REALY need it? I have the Western Mountaineering Highlite and the Zpack 20 (extra long) - I'll ponder over the weekend - Grrrrrrrr
