Petegt4,

Do you use your Hudson 450's all year round, or only outside of summer? We're thinking of getting some, or the equivalent 450g/m Vango nitestars, but wonder whether it'll get too hot in summer because they're 3 season bags.

Definately a fair weather camper. I don't like rain. Rain + Tent = Trouble.

Hi latecamper.

                    In the South of France, June/July/August only ever used cotton liners or less! to sleep in, anywhere else I use my SnugPag Merlin Softie, packs down very small, and has always been warm, even late Sept in UK, although I do have the SilkLiner for the SnugPak, never had to use it, but it does add an extra season if required. hope that helps.

Snugpak are way more than £40 (more like twice that).

Worth it though I think.  Their UK made products ( Like Francis' Softie Merlin) are more expensive - they do a range call Elite which can be had from about £50 upwards but these are made in the Far East I believe.  Both are excellent quality.
