My two bags for altitude (Paddy Pallin Twynam & Mont somethingorother) have about 1000g of down (700-800 loft I think) and have been toasty warm (perhaps a bit too warm for spring/autumn whilst between 3000m to 4000m), great if extended time around 5000m and above.

I really value their dryloft shells. Paddy's bag had dryloft lined hood and foot section too which I liked.

Check the cut of the bag suits you - try it on in the shop. One Planet feels a bit too spacious to me and some Western Mountaineering a bit too snug.

How many nights up high, how many in a tent, will you use it for Aussie winters, you might be able to get by with a less warm bag which will ultimately get more use.

Sweet Dreams
