For three season use, nudging more than a toe into four seasons, this versatile sleeping bag has proved an excellent choice on the Scottish hills, says John McKenna.
I've just bought my first quilt, a Therm-a-Rest Vesper 20F -6C 572g. Not tested in the cold yet but I really like the huge extra freedom to move my arms around.

They look to work well together with Thermarest where you have the built-in loops to attach both to each other.
