I use a (15 year old) North Face 4 season down bag which is fabulous but needs to be kept dry. It was nearly £300 AT THE TIME but is still good as new. That said, I just bought* by daughter a Northface Lynx for £100 which is 3-season but packs nearly as small (into an 8 litre stuff sack / dry bag) a...
