Hi,
I am currently looking for 2 sleeping bags for my wife and me. We found a few models, which would seem to be our favourites, but it's quite hard to find any reviews for them. This is going to be our first hiking trip, but we want to continue doing it later, so we want to buy good bags.
We're going to Norwegian fjords in two weeks (Jul 25-Aug8) and we're planning to stay in tents both on the mountains (up to 600m) and in the lowlands.
According to yr.no, it would be down to 13 around bergen and down to 6 on Trolltunga. Though, I'm not sure if "down to 6" is on top of it or in the bottom.

We looked at the following sleeping bags by now:
for me, male, 30yrs, 188cm, 100kg weight:
for my wife, 26yrs, 170cm, 54kg:
My wife is a total opposite: she likes when it's warm, so she always uses heavier blankets.
Do you think something like +10/+6/-7 or +7/+2/-13 for me and +7/+2/-13 or +2/-4/-20 for my wife or would it be too cold in the above conditions?
We also plan to do some hiking in September around Gothenburg. Will these bags be sufficient?
We also categorized materials, which the bags are made from:
It's Polyester only or Polyester and Polyamide combination. Could anyone give an opinion on what is better? Also, there's a "denier" marking on the material, does anyone have an opinion on that?
I like the fabrics of Skule and Ursus models most, which seems to be a combination of Polyester and Polyamide. I haven't yet tried Tarius and Lupus models, but I totally disliked the feeling in Haglöfs Astrolite -1.
Also the different companies have their own proprietary fillings, which I could not find any opinions on:
I'm a comlete newbie in hiking, so any opinions are more than welcome!
Maybe someone can recommend any other model that is not shown here?
Thanks!

- Haglöfs Tri-Fusion®
- Haglöfs FX Down™, 70% Down, 30% thermalTECH Fibre, 80/20 duck down (Ursus model, I'm afraid it could be not good to have Down in norway, where it often rains, or is it water-resistant?)
- Fjällräven Supreme Microloft: 100% Polyester
