Might be difficult to achieve. You are unlikely to be able to get too much below 1kg, and it will get expensive
For example Cumulus Panyam 600 has -6 C comfort, 970g and £295 (plus tax etc to import to UK)

there is the thermarest hyperion -6 which is 600g thn the sea to sumit

That is what I use, nice bag at a reasonable cost. But it is over a kilo (mine is around 1100g).

Ah right my original PD600 is 970g

The Hyperion you mention is 0 C comfort (the -6 is lower limit). When you said -6 in the original post did you mean comfort or lower limit?

The originals do seem best... (my original PD400 is much better than the stitch-through PD400 of around 2015)

 

[Jshdudhwodj]

ah sorry, yeah lower limit,

ive ordered the hyperion haha

As I said in another thread, EE stuff seems well made, but ratings may be optimistic

I used it over the weekend, when it got down to about -2. I was nice and warm, although I did wear a synthetic jacket and merino long johns.

I have an EE 900FP quilt and I love it. 23oz (less for shorties, mine is extra, EXTRA large) and Tim Marshall set it up with the down distro I wanted - more to the legs/feet, so I could use my jacket to supplement up top. Keeps me warm to around -3 without an inner tent (but YMMV).

Yes, I did wonder if you'd ever used such a constrictive bag as that TR jobby before....

 

[Jshdudhwodj]

tr?

thats why i got the one i have now for room to wiggle

 

[Back in Pack]

for your budget then

+1 for the PD600 - that is what I use often in winter. mine is just over 1 kg

i also use a single or layered quilts : EE 20f down and EE 40f synthetic - both around 450g each but much more expensive!

With all the caveats that everyone sleeps differently...

I had an EE 20ºF Enigma for a while. Construction was excellent, but the 20ºF is a limit rating, not a comfort one.
After a long and exhausting day, I felt cold in it at 3ºC, so my view is that around freezing is a realistic comfort level.

(Subsequently replaced with a Katabatic 20ºF quilt, where the 20ºF is a comfort rating - more than happy in it at -6ºC over the weekend).

I love my Rab alpine 400.

Paid less than £200. 840g, -1 comfort, -5 limit, -25 extreme (by the iso standard).

Does it not shed feathers? Heard alot of zip snagging and feather loss on some rabs
