Post by: Ramblingman on July 14, 2013

Thinking of buying a yeti vib 250. Anyone have any experience with this sleeping bag?

Sorry none. I had looked at them quite a bit as I was interested in their top-end 'Passion' ultra-light model. They seem to get good reviews and looked sound but I felt it was too expensive. I got a mountain hardwear  phantom 45 in the end.

Mountain hardware seem to have really stepped it up a notch in the last few years. How's it working on? The passion range looks great but sadly outta my price range. If not I would loved a wm summerlite, got some great reviews.

Haven't got using it yet. Have 4 nights planned in a few weeks but might get a quick bivvy in before then. Not that it even gets that cold these days.

Borrowed a phantom 32 last September for the mountain marathon and was very impressed. 32F should be 0 C, but the bags actually rate lower so I got the 45 which will do me to zero.

I was nearly willing to pay extra for something innovative like the Z-packs hoodless bags but they're not recognised for events.
