Hello!
Currently I own a pretty heavy Sleeping Bag (Mountain Hardwear Lamina Eco AF -3°C Comfort, Limit -9°, Extreme -27°, Synthetic Down) which weights 1086g. For my upcoming hiking trip this summer in Norway (Hardangervidda) I'm considering to replace it with a lighter quilt. I'd like to stay with synthetic filling, and as I'm from Europe my options are a bit limited.
So far I've narrowed it down to the GramXpert Elite Quilt in APEX 267, Size M Regular, the Liteway Simple Quilt 6.0oz Size M, and the Astucas Sestrals Apex 233, Size S. The GramXpert quilt is a bit more heavier with 822g, the Astucas weights with 765g a bit less, and the lightest is the Liteway with only 640g. I would guess the difference comes mainly from more synthetic filling used by GramXpert, which is therefore warmer than the Litway and the Astucas one?
On my last trip on the Kungsleden in northern Sweden I used my Mountain Hardwear sleeping bag and was quite happy with the warmthness of the sleeping bag, but I've never worn my Fleece or Puffy during that trip, which I'm happy to do in the quilt. So I'm wondering If a) I need the heaviest GramXpert quilt for Norway, and b) if the GramXpert has any other potential upsides against the Liteway quilt? And as the Astucas costs more than 150€ more than the other two, does it has any special properties? Or if you have any other recommendations - I'm open for more brands of course as well!
Thanks!
