On Saturday I was told to make a list of stuff I need or should that be want, from Santa. Called into Cotswold at Boucher Cresent.  It's just like a Santa's Grotto and though Santa wasn't to be seen some of his Elves were there.  I browsed for a bit then one of them assisted me.  On my list is:-
a new lighter weight/pack size sleeping bag, one or maybe two walking poles, a soft shell and/or a synthetic mid layer jacket and perhaps a pair of soft shell trousers.  Not looking much, don't want to be greedy!

The sleeping bag would be first on the list.  I'm using a Hi-Gear Snooza 300 with a hollowfibre fill as recommended for Duke of Ed activities, it was my son's. It has been warm enough but a little bulky and heavy at 1.85kg which I'd like to reduce.

One that John at Cotswold recommended was the Mountain Hardware Lamina 35 Reg which weighs in at just over 1kg and would be ideal for my use, warm enough for Mournes 3-season.

At lot has been written here about the various s'bags  available however has anyone any experience or comments on the Mountain Hardware Lamina 35 Reg ?

Thank you.

I have the same bag chum, as far as I am concerned it's fantastic. Last night during the Mourne way walk it probably dropped to -2 ish. I would not say I was cold in it but I would not want to push it much lower without a liner. I was only sleeping in a base layer and boxers.

During the summer, it's not to hot so all in all it's a great bag

Matthew, thank you for responding.  I can put a tick beside that bit of kit, which will hopefully encourage and enable me to get out more often.

Thanks,

George.
