For sure lads that makes sense but the reason I spent such ridiculous money is for the weight saving aspect so I'd kinda be shooting myself in the foot carrying the top layer and not using it....
5 degrees sounds good to me.

yes, but is it waterproof, that's what I want to know

Can't help fella, not used mine yet.....
I can't see it advertised as water resistant although bags of similar spec on the Snugpak site are. I would be surprised if it wasn't still effective after sitting on it when wet tbh.
Surely someone's got an idea?

It's supposedly made from snugpak's paratex micro fabric which is meant to be windproof and water repellent. They won't be able to advertise it as waterproof as it's got an almighty zip down the side and likely won't have taped seams but I'm surprised none of the blurb mentions water repellency.

Paratex is what they use on the sleeka jacket, I wouldn't fancy that for prolonged rainfall.

Hang fire for a while bud.
There is a new Gardner 5 season Dpm coming out any minute. Looks just as good as the Snugpak and probably half the price.
I too would have liked the Snugpal. I use there jackets and other military bags but I just can't justify 250 quid on a bag.

They've got about 4 different versions of paratex, one of them is water resistant but not the micro.

I looked at that but at nearly twice the weight of the techlite it can't compare imo. Loads of decent heavy bags already on the market.
