0 degree Mummy Sleeping bag suggestions

[270quest]

What do you got for suggestions? Synthetic or Down? Brand? I need to purchase for my upcoming BC moose hunt. I would like to keep it lite as to use for future possible sheep hunt, but also not ready to spend 5-6-$700. Was thinking of a budget max of th $250 range.

HyperLamina Torch 0 Is a good bag for price. It's not ultralight though.

Hard to find a reliable, light 0 degree bag for cheap. What's your idea of light? Kifaru Slick Bag just under $400 would be a good choice.

Assuming you're using a guide, you might ask them.

Came across a company called Outdoor Vitals the other day that may have what you are looking for.

Since when did we start using Common Sense here.

I did and he suggested the best I could afford and he liked KUIU....I'm not paying $700 for a sleeping bag

Yeah, that would be hard to bite off on!

This will be my next bag. You would have to stretch your budget a little.

I would personally watch Ebay, Rokslide classifieds and other sources for either a lightly used Western Mountaineering or Feathered Friends bag. As soon as you said "sheep" the game changes and light physical weight gets critical. Goose down is the only practical way to stay (sheep) ultralight and be warm down to zero or less. Very good used bags show up often and I would have no problem buying one that met my needs.

Check out Viam Outdoors for a 0* quilt.

Montbell makes some very comfy down bags but a little more in the budget is needed

Although not a 0 degree bag. I just picked up a Marmot Helium 15 degree bag for 1/2 it's original price on geartrade.com. Buying used is the only way I can afford good stuff, within my budget.

I ordered one of these yesterday...Anxious to see how she works. It is early enough that if I don't like it, I can return and find something else to try.

I hope that it works out well for you. Give a review when you have a chance to use it some, as I'm interested in their products as well.

I have their 30* Summit down bag. I am very impressed with the quality. I used it camping this winter a lot and I stayed plenty warm in base layers when it got down to 18* I'm going to order their 0* bag soon.

I just picked up the Mountain Hardwear Lamina Z - 5 degree bag. Its synthetic, 3 lbs 15 oz, and pretty good reviews. Not the lightest but very good for a synthetic. On sale for $167.

I haven't used many to compare. But after using the kifaru slick bag I don't see how I could want anything else. The bag made me want to purchase the lost parka.

I can't comment on what is out there now since I have been using the same 2 bags for about 30 years now, but I would advise you to go with a synthetic fill for two reasons. They provide more padding which can compensate for a thin pad, they perform better when damp, and where you are going after a few days moisture will probably be an issue. Down is great for warmth to weight but if that is not essential, synthetic is better and cheaper in my experience.
