TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

If the bag has been used for a while and/or a little dirty then -5C seems like a reasonable assumption, always better to assume less than perfect to be on the safe side

Going to kilimanjaro in a couple of weeks and weather says around minus 2 at the last camp before summit so will probably just take it to help keep weight down a little. That with a neo air xtherm mat should suffice nicely. Would have liked to have my new op cocoon but unfortunately they are still out of the 800 loft down so wont be ready until end of October.
