Did you come back the same way, was it as tricky coming down as going up?

I got hold of their UltraLite bag last winter. It has replaced my old ME Lightline as a go anywhere bag. At about 850g for sub zero winter weather it is unbeatable. It might be worth considering in your trial. It cost me an arm and leg mind you.<br />Dave PorterDave Porterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03276366235655727607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063908328061898266.post-3585674326176357982010-11-24T11:50:49.552+00:002010-11-24T11:50:49.552+00:00The flysheet was fine but it was only one quiet ni...The flysheet was fine but it was only one quiet night - no strong winds, no heavy rain. When I've tested it some more I'll report on it in TGO.<br /><br />My favourite sleeping bag over the last few years for this time of years has been the Rab Quantum 400. However I'm testing winter sleeping bags at present for a review next year and using a different one every time I go out.Chris Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04282926597863688874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063908328061898266.post-79638081118932745652010-11-24T09:52:53.729+00:002010-11-24T09:52:53.729+00:00Chris,
