Rab - Ascent 700 Down Sleeping Bag

Iv got a rab assent 700. It’s down so light weight and remarkably compact’able. Comes with its own stuff sack and a storage bag to keep safe and not damage the down filling. U can find them on eBay/ fb market for £150. Might sound expensive but they do go for double that brand new.

Look second hand for your first set of good gear. My first down bag was the ascent 700 and it was sufficient for my hammock camps down to 0°. I got it second hand on eBay for £100 and in good condition. You'll hear this many times on this thread, but if you're putting money into anything, make it your mat and your bag (or under quilt if you hammock). No shame in getting second hand, you just have to keep an eye on eBay.

Rab Ascent 700. They do a womens version too. They come up in the sales sometimes so if you have time keep an eye out for the price to drop.

you get what you pay for with sleeping bags really. two good options would be the rab ascent 700 or the alpkit pipedream 600. both decent bags, especially if combined with a liner. they're not exactly cheap, but pack down well and are lightish.

April through October is my 400-time. In the end it really depends on what your personal comfort limits are and at what temperatures you would switch to the winter bag. I imagine the Norwegian coast is a bit warmer during winter than the Swedish coast, due to being more maritime? Regarding Rab: I have used the Neutrino 400 now during six seasons (this is the seventh) and I am really happy. It probably has lost a bit of fluff but that is to be expected after that time. Washed it once because I didn't use a liner in the beginning, but otherwise used always a liner, always hung it out after a hike and stored it in the cotton bag. If you have the money, go for it! They seem to have added a Neutrino 500 to their range and that would be my choice today, between the 600 and the 400. Otherwise, they also have a 650-cuin product line (cheaper but heavier) which is probably just as good.
