If you’re using it heaps, I’d stay away from a mummy bag for comfort. Also you can unzip it if you want a blanket. I have their alpine bag (Sanctuary) too, but prefer this unless it’s cold af. NZ$370 is cheap as even with shipping, and they’re great quality.
Use a liner for long term camping to avoid it getting too mangy.
Wash with down wash and tumble dry Every 2-3 months to keep it fluffy and warm. Water resistant shell is a must.
Keep some duct tape on hand too. If camping every night for a year, you have a 100% chance of cutting or burning a hole in it. Get good quality cloth tape and it’s a long term solution.
If you look at their packs, get AzTec fabric, it lasts a lifetime.
Merino gear is awesome value. The rest of their stuff is on par with pretty much anything else, though they don’t do real heavy duty shell layers anymore sadly. I’m still wearing a Prophet + pants from about ‘02. Got hammered for years when I was guiding, still wear it regularly and performs as well as new.
