I’m looking for a really good sleeping bag that doesn’t weigh a lot and is good for a light frost.
I’m relatively slim so am specifically looking at slimmer bags. I also like bags that have more fill on the top than then bottom.
My shortlist is currently a Cumulus x-lite 400 and a Thermarest Hyperion 20 UL
Both coming in around 250 quids.
Any other ideas?

Hi Rich
PHD have the Minim 350 on 'sale' at £288. Rated to -2C 630g
I expect its toasty warm. The Minimus +5 bag would be fine too but thats still £329 though is under 500g

I shall have these listed in the shop shortly too.
May the bridges you burn light your way

Does it have to be a bag? I have a Cumulus quilt and its lighter and pack smaller for the same performance
Pretty sure Ive got the 250 quilt is sub 500gm, rated at zero oC

+2 for both Phd and Cumulus
My regular user is the Cumulus 350, packs nicely and keeps me warm from spring 'til autumn. Mine is the older model and I can't remember what changes they've made since, around 580g on my scales and good for around freezing imho, I'm not the warmest sleeper though since I had my thyroid out a few years ago.
Quilts are great if you're happy just lying on a bare mat, I sleep clothed so it's not an issue for me. If you're a big chap make sure it's wide enough to give cover, a skinny quilt could give you some chilly drafts if you toss and turn.
Phd are lovely, about the best quality down you'll find this side of the pond. I have the Minim 300 from 2010, great bag just lacks a draft collar. The Minim range are snug, not sure about their other bags, they taper quite a lot from the waist down, suits my shape well but I know others can find them constricting.
Some of the modern synthetic quilt options are worth a look too if you camp in minging weather a lot or like to use a minimal shelter setup, my Apex 200 quilt isn't much bigger in the pack than my down equivalent

We've got a couple of quilts, a Western Mountaineering one and a Cumulus, whilst great in warmer conditions, in colder weather I definitely sleep better in a bag.
Thanks, Dave, I'd forgotten about PHD.
