I ended up going to Mountain Designs in Hawthorn with Carlos and picked up the following:<\/p>\n

Mountain Designs Travelite 350 (down bag, 350g fill, 1160g total) RRP: $280?<\/p>\n

Thermarest Prolite 3 S (51x119cm, 370g, the f’n small one!) RRP: $160<\/p>\n

Thermarest Stuff Sack 3 S RRP: $17.95<\/p>\n

Thermarest Repair Kit RRP: $13.95<\/p>\n

Got the lot for $392.. <\/p>\n

I’m going to check out some plastic liners or water-proof stuff sacks from Canoe stores.. probably take some garbage bags and smaller zip-lock bags too, just for backups.<\/p>\n

flyingdutch is keen to swap his Macpac 1-man tent for my track crankset so it looks like the tent vs. bivvy bag question has been answered.<\/p>\n
