TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Any recommendations for a women's sleeping bag 4 seasons for altitude 4600 m. Min comfort - 12

Budget?
Any of the reputable brands will do that with ease; it really depends on how much you can afford to spend but -12C is usable here in Australia in winter but as we always say, if it's warm enough for the snow it will be too warm for the other 3 seasons
One bag doesn't do all

Shees Rose 124,
That is one hell of an altitude where are you heading ?
For those temperatures I would not ignore a Manufacturer used to conditions like this such as https://www.tundrasleepingbags.com/slee ... y-minus-20.
We use their -5 Pure and Dry for 4 Seasons in Tassie and cannot fault them ,if it gets colder on the Snow we just wear more clothes ,something I suspect will not be possible in your -20 situations :shock:

Rose, have a look at Campsaver.com they have one helluva sale on right now.
You don't need to spend A$800 or more for what you want.
You'll get this one for about A$430 from the U.S. and if it's your first buy from them you'll get 15% off that.
This bag is women specific and is worth a look at -18C.
http://www.campsaver.com/thermarest-ada ... eeping-bag.
The weight is good at 1100g.
They have straps underneath to marry up to a Thermarest sleeping mat.

Good looking Bag reads well however 700+ Down to -18 is a wee bit suspect in claim I think so do your homework :)

Have a look at the Malachowski bags that Kasia from Globewalker stocks. I think their climber 600 or 800 are rated down to that.

I see she's go them on sale at them moment as well http://www.globewalker.com.au/malachowski/

I was looking at their Ultralight ones last year, but ended up getting another Polish bag - Cumulus - but these are rated for around 0C.

That looks like a good deal especially with the Down quality ,pity it does not have a DWR shell.
