“REI (20 deg.)sub .kilo bag is on sale for 145 bux.this is a great buy for 700 down ultralight bag that weighs 34ozs.Dont know how long its on sale but it will probably be at the same price for REI's May sale.” 9:30:42 PM 4/14/02 “That does sound like a good deal. 8)” 9:33:01 PM 4/14/02 “I hate being allergic to down.” 9:33:05 PM 4/14/02 “I don't use down bags so it don't matter to me. 8)” 9:39:03 PM 4/14/02 “I got that bag in size short last week. Just a note though, the loft doesn't look to me like a 20 deg bag. I'm not expecting more than 40 deg out of it, but it weighs less than 2 lbs, which I like.” 6:24:23 AM 4/15/02 “A good deal on a down bag; TNF Chrysalis, 2000 model Semi-rect 25 degree Reg-2 & 3/4 lb Long-3 lb The bag can be zipped flat and the down shifted to the top...open baffles. Campmor still has some regulars(no long) for $130-$140 BobWards.com has reg($125) and long($132) I bought one last fall and have slept comfortable at 20 degrees in it. The long weighs 3 pounds.....light enough.....and is roomy enough for a big sack of $hit like me. I ordered another from BobWards.com(Montana) and the Brown Truck should arrive today. We needed another good bag, is what I told my wife.” 7:11:41 AM 4/15/02 “But Honey, you don't want to let the kids freeze!” 7:26:04 AM 4/15/02 “I got my down bagw/ dryloft- 10 deg at an REI closeout. Love it. I believe it as about $170” 10:32:52 AM 4/15/02 “hi LyndyS u might have a point about the loft.Altho all the reviews I have read said the bag was warm in the 20s,that was based on last years model..I have the new bag and when it is compressed it doesn't seem to regain its loft.The model I saw in the store was hanging from the rack and seemed to have amazing loft but maybe this is from hanging?” 11:18:36 AM 4/16/02
