I don't think 0 and 5 degree sleeping bags are designed for warmer months. (Unless you're a penguin?)
Yes, you were (?)
So, out of curiosity: why?
Any recommendations on a good sleeping bag for overnight hiking in Victoria?
four seasons or three seasons?
three
Not an expert so just my opinion, but maybe try your nearest Surplus store.
For my son's school camp I went to the one in Parramatta (Sydney) and bought all the same gear available for the army cadets. Except for the sleeping bag, my wife bought him a compact -5 deg one from Kathmandu
My son looked like he was going into combat compared to all the Anaconda and Kathmandu gear that the other kids had, but his gear seemed on the whole to be lighter, cheaper and more durable. And as a plus, less expensive.
Except for the sleeping bag. As advised by the guy at the surplus store my son was freezing when he went on camp even though it only got down to 10 degrees and he wore a tracksuit in his sleeping bag.
I'm sensing the sleeping bag may have been a point of contention?
I subtly mentioned that we are better off getting the Surplus store bag for the next camping trip but saving the "I told you so" for future arguments
In size L: weight 1.67kg. Volume 15.2 litres. Compression cover.
The 5 degrees one is
1200g in size L. Volume 11.3 L. Compression bag.
I got this in first time while I got promoted email from Decathlon. Its website mentions that three size: M, L and XL, respectively 3L, 4L and 5L in volume according to size guide.
They are not ture, pretty bulky without extra external strain/compression.
They are good for your road trip, but it is bulky for backpacker/bushwalker/hiking.
Where did you see those sizes? Just before you, I posted a comment (see above) and the product page clearly says 15 litres for the L size.I see now, it's when you click SIZE GUIDE next to size selection on the product page.
That's clearly for some (ultrar) lightweight sleeping bags and that's Decathlon's fault. Certainly gives you a valid reason to return it. Well, at Decathlon you can return everything anyway.
It would take some space tech to make a sleeping bag for 0 degrees weigh 600 grams (and also would be multiple the current price), but certainly not everyone realises that.
I was reading tapered designed bags aren’t good in warmer months?
