I am looking to purchase a synthetic bag for some rough trips in the Flinders Ranges. I have some down bags but prefer to use the synthetic bags for these trips as they get dusty and dirty and synthetic bags are easier to clean
I've narrowed down to the following bags:
One Planet SAC -8 lower limit bag (-8 lower limit)
StoS Traverse TV3 bag (-4 comfort)
Has anyone had any experience with these bags? How do they perform?
Any other suggestions?
I need around a -2 comfort rated bag

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.

Not slept in either, but my work as one of the OPs and it seems to be pretty bomber, its a beast of a bag though. I (we) have two mountain hardware bags, my wife has an old (2009?) -18 lamina and I have a (2017) hyperlamina spark (about 0C lower limit, works for me down to a little under 10, I'm a cold sleeper) And both bags have been really durable. I know that probably doesn't help too much, but its what I've got.

Both very similar in specs with one claiming to be a little warmer so perhaps go for the SToS.
At $200-250 and little more money there may be down feather bags at half the weight and bulk. See on these forums Under cling Mikes down feather quilt custom bags selling like hot cakes.
