That getting into the unaffordable range , especially if you want a zip,extra long and wide if you are tall and move about in your sleep when you look at the versions available it would be another £ 200. But it probably fits into a small stuff sack😄.

Depends on your finances. Unaffordable for some, a good investment for others. I have a PHD down bag that’s over 20 years old now. I’d say I’ve got good value out of it.

Sleeping bags can last forever if you dont use them ,post a few pics of the last few camping trips 😂

I have the 200 version of that bag, good down to about +5ish. Very good sleeping bag but still quite expensive.

My thoughts are that I can sleep in my down jacket if needed. As well as use it around camp or first and last hours on the bike.

That's fine for shorter trips or exceptional cold. It can fall down on longer trips, especially if damp or wet.

You are a bit weird if you take pictures of your sleeping bags. Suggest you keep your fetish to yourself.

These are our summer sleeping bags we are using now, North Face goose down Kilo bags.Probably 17-20 years old .nearly bought new bags but had them cleaned for £50. Camped out a few times over 2000m, have had big winds from the north over the last week, just wore merino top and longs if needed. Look at the labels North Face gives temp ratings ,blue is risk. We always look at NF first if we need sleeping bags, have the winter bags very warm but are bulky even with good goose down.

Just a suggestion - get a normal lightweight bag and add a heavy duty survival bivvy when needed ? I’ve got one packed away so can’t remember name but for a short holiday it’s right for me - may not suit your needs🤷‍♂️

More or less what I have been doing, it's a bit too bulky which I was wanting to spoil myself

May have if I wasn't going to ride in a fortnight in the UK

I have a North Face bag too, a Blue Kazoo, about 13 years old. I woke up to ice on my tent in Aviemore and had been plenty warm enough overnight without resorting to wearing a coat. It compresses down to a cube about 23cm

Just buy any sleeping bag and book into accommodation if it going to be cold at night😂
