Does anyone have any ideas on a good pairing of sleeping pad and bag / quilt, either from your own experience or research?

I’m looking at building a decent sleep system for wild camping out in Scotland down to around -10 degrees. I’ve looked at pairing an OEX Flux 7 UL with a leviathan ev900, however, I’ve been advised against it and I can understand why.

Trying to keep costs, down, but I don’t mind paying a bit extra if it’s a good piece of kit that I can put my faith in.

Any ideas appreciated

Hi all,

I’m currently putting together a new set up for winter wild camping in Scotland and I would appreciate some honest feedback and suggestions from some people with more experience than me.

I’m not too bothered about being ultralight, I’d rather sacrifice a little weight to have a more comfortable night. I’m looking to use this set up mainly in exposed summit camps and possible sub zero conditions (-10 at a limit really).

This is how my current kit list stands:

Sleep system:
- Nortent Vern 1 4s
- OEX Flux 7 UL + Simond insulated foam mat
- OEX Leviathan ev900 UL + Hi-gear comfort pillow

Cooking:
- OEX Heiro solo
- Jetpower gas

Electronics:
- Flextail max pump 3
- Flextail Zero powerbank
- NEBO Mycro 400 head torch

Clothing and other extras (chairs, bottles etc.) are accounted for but not included in this list as this is the main stuff I’m looking for feedback on.

Anything is appreciated, many thanks.

I'm looking at buying a Fjern Stormgrotta 1.5 from SportPursuit.

It was on sale on the Fjern website for half price, but it's gone back up again, so I'd rather buy it from SportPursuit at the lower price.

The price almost seems too good to be true though, so I'm just wondering if anyone has bought a tent (or anything else, for that matter) from SportPursuit, and what your experience was like. Did it actually turn up as expected?

Cheers.
