MY WINTER SLEEP SYSTEM IS BASED ON EXPERIENCE AND UPGRADING KIT OVER TIME. BY NO MEANS IS THIS SPONSORED OR A SALES PITCH ITS SIMPLY WHAT ILL BE USING. I THINK THIS IS THE WARMEST I CAN GET SO FAR WITHOUT GOING TOTALLY CRAZY. I SPENT A TOTAL OF £388 FOR THE BAG THE MAT AND THE FOIL MAT..FEEL FREE TO ADD YOUR PREFERENCES IN THE COMMENTS, ITS NOT A CONTEST JUST INTERESTING TO HEAR WHAT OTHER FOLKS USE FOR WINTER CAMPING. CHEERS.

There is a video where you can get in the bags wet through and by morning you will be dry ,it's a technically advanced fill called Lamilite and the bags are awesome

You would do better to get a bag with much higher loft rating. That bag has down with a loft of 650 which these days is very low. Typical high end bags now use down with a loft of 850 with the best going up to 1000. The end result is a lighter, warmer bag.

Nice set up Andy, I'm sure that will keep you toasty, Although I'd personally add a good quality roll mat too, something like the (original 1 inch thick) XL Dutch Army mat, for those really cold nights. A good quality roll mat has far superior heat retention properties than the best winter inflatables, no matter what the R rating says, a roll mat is for heat , an inflatable is for comfort, for the coldest of camps I use a Helinox lite cot combined with a Dutch Army roll mat or any cheap inflatable, a foil groundsheet and a Carinthia defence 4 (+Tropen if needed -20) 🙂 ATB.

Foil mat great, that mat crinkles like billyOh or Russel Bag looks epic. I have a Nemo Astro lite, Carinthia Defence 4 and British Army thermals. Snugpak and newer PCS thermals. Need a foil mat like 👍🏻

Bit rustley (is that a word) but not that bad. Just amplified cos I’m in the house. I’ve had it put up Robinson remember. Slept like a log. Never heard it. And yep. Definitely get the foil mat. Best bit of kit by far. 👍

Hi there. Enjoying the reviews. Do you know if there is much of a difference between the rab ascent 900 and the rab ascent 1100?
@AndyWardle
@AndyWardle 2 жыл бұрын
The new 900’s have been improved my older one has a lot of cold spots. The 1100 is much fuller and is bigger when packed if I had to choose I’d pick the 1100 👍
