Just come back from a trip under canvas to the Altai mountains in southern Siberia, Used a SH800 and was toasty warm every night. Even spent a night bivvying on a 2500m ridge in a Hunka Bag in the snow! Great kit, even better prices.
used this bag in probably the most extreme place so far. svalbard in the high arctic for 3 months, temps as low as -25. as long as your still wore most of your clothes. most of the guys in my group were using the me iceline, which is £306. it might not be quite as light, but it seemed about the same warmth . (that was with a silk liner)
the only prob was a small rip in the stiching about 2/3 the way down, but that was sorted with a bit of duck tape. did send atlot of down into the tent though.
a arctic sleeping bag for £110, a bargin. go for it
Fantastic bag for the money, I have the 1000, incredibly warm, and the best fitting sleeping bag I have ever owned. Being 6’4” sleeping bags are normally a poor fit.
The SH1000 (short) weighs 1614g or 1758g with the compression bag.
I bought the Skyehigh 800 yesterday, and it was delivered by 9.30 the following morning - great service!
Quality feels and looks great - am testing it out in Roybridge this weekend!
What is the weight of the Short Sky high 1000?
Got the 800 for winter camping/bivying. so far it’s been really good. very good quality and very comfortable.
Got an 800 at christmas used it on a cold wet night bivvying on bodmin moor with a hunka bivvy bag was delighted to wake up the next day warm dry and comfortable! im very impressed! well done
Bought the 800 and used it in the Lakes at the weekend, temperature on the first night was down to -5, can’t fault the bag, warm, no leakage and lofts well.
A real bargain !!
