    It really depends on how much you want to spend.
    I have a PHD Minimus Down bag which is specifically
    designed for this. They now make a new lighter version
    called Minim Ultra Down, weighing only 365 grammes!

    Check it out here: http://www.phdesigns.co.uk/product_i...roducts_id=198

    I've got a PHD Minimus as well, pure luxury for camping Spring to Autumn.

    I've even used it in January just below the snow line (about 50ft below!) on the Dodd ridge in the Lakes with extra clothes and was warm all night.

    If I was getting one now for MM would go for the Minim Ultra.

    Yes, I bought a Vango Xtreme 200 and it packs down pretty small, seems warm enough and only cost £30. Used it on the Saunders and was plenty warm enough.

    Another vote for PHD Minimus, I've had lovely warm comfy nights in some miserable places in mine. Not cheap though.

    Haglofs sleeping bags are worth checking out.
    I picked up a new Haglofs down bag on e-bay for £70 last year.
    Excellent quality and design, weighs about 450g.
