Rab Neutrino 800

Designed to be lightweight, warm, and compressible, the Rab Neutrino 800 serves up all three but with a few shortcomings. At a high price point, the bag offers a nice tapered design with enough room to adjust movement, and it compresses down well into its stuff sack, but it may be outperformed by other bags with much less cost.

Mountain Hardwear Phantom

The Mountain Hardwear Phantom is one of the best in terms of warmth-to-weight ratio. The 850-fill down insulation is an excellent feature fit for those who want to do more serious expeditions. Warmth is doubled around the head with its four-chamber hood, worth mentioning as it does a great job at that. It can be packed down to high-end compression sack for convenient carry. Definitely a great choice for alpine traverse.
