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
