Gear Review: Rab Neutrino 400 2C Down Sleeping Bag

Rab Neutrino 400 2C Down Sleeping Bag 9.5/10
This is a minimalist ultra-light down bag from RAB (920g) that is high-quality (and stuffed by hand in Sheffield).  Ideal for lightweight trekking and cycling.  I love this bag, pure and simple, it's warm, light, and packs down to the size extra small.  The Pertex Quantum fabric used is durable, breathable and silky soft mm.. cosy. Ideal for summer alpine use as the down is high-quality european and is spread to the areas you need it to limit weight, otherwise bump up to the Neutrino 600 for trips in less temperate climates.  Only downside is its lack of water resistance- but hey look after it and it's a treasure.
