New Hybrid sleeping bag

We are trialing a another bag as well! Got them just after these were issued.

Its a light weight -10 bag and is smaller than the above one and is green, sorry but cant remember the maker.

It wouldnt be a Recon by any chance? When I was on the Pack Trail version 2 a green Recon Bag was produced. Ive seen them before and am a little bit skeptical to the rating.

Bravo Coy 2/1 trialled the macpac 50/50 ones and we were cold inside a hall.

Should have just gone back to a good down bag like the old green Domex which were good bag for their time. There were complaints after Ex KK about the new hybrids, however so far none have been documented.

Snugpak is the way forward just need to issue 2 bags a Softie 3 and a 12 would be ideal for NZ all year round weather but Brit made not their Asian ones.

Maybe a fleece liner would upgrade the Hybrid? as Grunts tend to sleep fully clothed and are usually wet and cold to start with that voids most bags ratings the liner would provided that comfort gap layer.

They need to issue a snugpac softie type jacket and get rid of the fleece.

Amen to that softshell and softie is the combo the group have the reversible jacket and we get Sasquatch at Cbt Sch.

A silk liner is a good option for increasing the warmth but with out the bulk, also useful as blanket/sheet in hot climates.

Hey Bolty, yea thats the bag we are trialing.

As for that new bag, I was cold in the Karioi forest and no way was it anywhere near -10.

It be interesting on the next Ex AH then, I was cold on this years and I was using a Macpac with the silk liner. Did you do a RODUM on the Hybrid?

Nah I didnt but the others have put a few in. I managed to get my macpac bag and used that for the rest of the EX.
