Sleeping systems - bags, pads, matts, liners

@Arducius
I've been looking in this thread a bit recently - the advice from platypus and skinny is basically

• If your budget is decathalon level then that is by far the best place to buy
  
• Bivvys need to be goretex or eVent or you will drown (skinny has Rab I think)
  
• Platypus has recommended a karrimore one that 30 quid from sports direct as a cheap alternative
  
• down sleeping bags are the only choice (couldn't see a single example of Playtpus conceding to synthetic)
  
• buy cheap or buy expensive, middle ground is a waste of time
  
• if you're buying a quilt go katabatic palisade
  
• ebay or reddit kit trade is the place to buy
  
• Thermarest xlites are popular (bikepacking rate sea to summit also)
  
  

Please correct if i've got it wrong
