Rab - Ascent 900 Down Sleeping Bag

A little above your budget, I've been fine in my Rab Ascent 900 everywhere in Northern England and Sctoland, I've had some pretty low temperatures, -10 I think was the lowest. You need a good sleeping mat to keep warm though.

I’m still using my rab ascent 900 at the minute. Days got warmer but nights didn’t get the message haha. My rab cost me £216 and it’s an amazing sleeping bag. The “stuff sack” it comes with is naff so I’ve got a different one so I can pack it down smaller but other than that it’s spot on

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.
