    I bought the Firelite from Mountain Equipment for this sole purpose: bikepacking in Norway (3 seasons). It packs into a compact lump and is incredibly light at between 700 and 800 grams: https://www.thegreatoutdoorsmag.com/review/mountain-equipment-firelite-review/

    It sure did the trick in around 0 degrees without clothes inside, in the mountains close to Beitostølen. Haven’t tested in colder conditions, but no reason to doubt it. One thing to remember with down as opposed to synthetic bags, is to keep it dry. A wet down bag isn’t worth much.
