K-Way Extreme Lite 500 Down Sleeping Bag

I really like the fact that they brought out an ultra-light bag, that always gets my attention. They are on the right track with this. I had a look at the bag in one of the stores. It does have a nice, soft, silky feel to it. I like the black colour too, though that is very much a cosmetic consideration.

Currently I use a Kway Chamonix bag for summer hikes. Its comfort rating is 0-15 deg C and weighs 900g. I'm a cool sleeper compared to most guys and often fall asleep nice and cosy but tend to wake up early in the morning a bit cold and have to wrap up a little more. I've had some summer nights on the Berg escarpment where the Chamonix's comfort was starting to get stretched a little.

What I would like to see in the Extreme Lite 500 is an improvement in the comfort rating (closer to 0 deg C) without adding to the weight. I think this would be possible by making the bag slimmer since it is quite spacious. Now I know that some folks prefer the space, but since the bag is designed for "adventurers or adventure racers" I think that performance should win over comfort in this regard.

Am definitely curious about the bag as I wouldn't mind trading in the Chamonix at some point. Has anyone else used it?

Ghaz, are you collecting sleeping bags now?

I've been mulling the same idea re daypack etc.
