    Field and Trek have various models of their Rolling Clouds down bags in
    the bargain bin at half price. The RC 300 should fit the bill as a
    summer bag. £35, 1.0 kg, fairly wee packed size.

    Snugpak Softie 3 Merlin

    Some reviews:

    I got one of these and have had a couple of very comfortable nights in it
    so far. Only 750gm. Very difficult to compress it as far as some of the
    pictures show! It is a synthetic bag but packs down very well.

    Can be less than 60 quid if you look around, but often advertised higher.
    Is this inexpensive enough?
