I have been looking at replacing my old synthetic winter bag for something that doesn’t weigh as much as a duvet and isn’t the size of a small car. The Alpkit pipe dream 600 was at the top of my list but then came across the Vango force 10 Vulcan -12 bag. Has anybody got any experience of these? Currently on offer for £200 and weight 1200 grams which isn’t too bad for a winter bag. Alternatively I am open to suggestions. I need something light, small and will keep me alive in the depths of the UK winter and ideally not above £300. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. 

 Thanks

I've got the older version of this and it's brilliant. It's rated down to -11 degrees. I've used it well below zero and was toasty warm. Looks like they have improved it more by reducing the weight by increasing the down quality.

That’s a great price for a 4 season down bag! I’ll definitely look into that one. Cheers
