Hi Jerwin, thank you! We try to share some of the things we've learned so others can be inspired to spend more time outdoors and experience the beauty of nature themselves. We have a variety of sleeping bags for different mountain adventures. For summer hikes and climbs, we use a lighter brand called AEGISMAX from AliExpress. It's made of 15D Nylon Waterproof material with FP800, 95% Goose Down, weighing 600g. The comfort temperature rating is -2°C, and it's very cost-effective. For winter adventures in NZ, we have the Rab Alpine Pro 800 Sleeping Bag. It has insulation of 650FP R.D.S. Certified European Duck Down, weighing 800g. The comfort temperature rating is -18°C. It might be a bit of an overkill, but we're still figuring it out for winter.

What sleeping bags are you guys taking? How cold it gets at the Bevan Col hut in the summer?

[@alpine_squad]

Depending on the weather forecast, but in summer we usually take a lighter version of duck down ones, with a rating around 0 degrees. Last time we were there at Colin Todd Hut, the temperature inside was +5c at night.
