“Hey i need a new sleeping bag any opinions on best brand?”

“I love slumberjack!

8)”

“REI makes nice bags, I also like my north face minaret (20deg). Shop around and dont be shy of spending some coin.”

“whew!

i thought that birch was going to say "joy".

that could get messy!”

“I'm sure everyone here has an opinion, and you know what they say about opinions. But you asked, and here's mine: Don't waste your money on anything but a Feathered Friends bag. If you're interested in saving money, then skip this post. If you're interested in buying a bag that will last you your entire lifetime, and will provide nothing but years of satisfaction and excellent performance, then check them out here I've got three of their bags, ranging from the Hummingbird for summer use to the Eider I use for winter camping, and they are all three awesome bags, with lots of years and lots of miles on them.”

“and add Western Mountaineering to his very short list!
Western Mountaineering”

“i just bought a wm bag. i researched bags for months before i finally decided on it. i've only used it a few times but it's great.”

“I have a Kelty Clear Creek, and I like it. Great bag for the buck.”

“You get what you pay for.

If you want a springtime sleeping bag anything will do.

If you want maximum weight savings/performance cold weather bag go with Western Mountaineering.”

“i've had a high quality down bag since 1971.i'ts been washed at least 15 times,has patches and repairs all over,but,still lofts up to at least 90% of it's 1971 loft.it has been slept in over 1000 nights.cliff”

“Well I like the chinook very good prices and great have tested them.
I carry a down Jack Wolfskin which has worked great.
The price is right for these also.
Happy hunting
Barbara”

“my vote is for Western Mountaineering also..i have the Iroquis and the Super Apache MF...
"chelle has the kelty clear creek 20...and i can see it's benefits and she loves it...however you will not be able to stuff it down into it's stuff sack..or a 30 gallon trash bag either..LOL”

“Depends on intended use and budget.
If budget is not a problem, and you want the best without the weight, go with Western Mountaineering.”

“I have a Marmot Never Winter, 30 degree bag, down, <2lbs, for summer and a North Face fiber filled bag, rated below 0 for winter. I got the North Face long so I'd have room in the bottom to dry my wet clothes. i really like the light weight and small packing of the Marmot (if that's a priority).”

“Pamela Anderson has the best bags, hands down.”

“I concur with Buddha.”

“maybe, but aren't they synthetic?
I heard they lose their loft after only a couple of years.”

“Definitely synthetic. 3”

“The Scrotal bag from Anatomy Gear is great. When it's warm, the bag expands to cool you off and when it's cold, the bag constricts to warm you up. No matter what the outside temp is, you are keep at a constant temp. However, do not wash this bag in extremely cold water because it will shrink up close to nothing.”

“you are all sick disgusting pigs”

“.....and i'm happy to be part of the gang”

“Note to self...
Never share a tent with BaSO4 and never sleep downwind from his bag.

Side note.... if BaSO4 is asleep inside the Scrotal bag and you hear this almost constant scratching noise....pour cold water on the bag. :p”

“any specifics for a 20 degree F, very compressable, and lightweight, and best sleeping for over a week use? all of them together is what im hoping for. Any bag fit that?”

“Sierra Or Northface?”

“Sierra.

I have the Wild bill (20 degrees). Its synthetic, but has served me well and was rather cheap.”

“WM Ultralight weighs 1 pound 12 oz and is rated to 25 degrees .”
