20 - 25 deg bag suggerstion

“Looking for a cheap and light bag ... Any sugggestions or helpful links?”

“Light and cheap is going to be impossible. Try outdooroutlet.com”

“A good 10 degree bag.”

“I guess that light and cheap are relative terms ... How about $100 - $150 for a good Summer bag?

I have a zero deg bag, but it is big and heavy. This purchase would be for summers ... maybe a 30 to 40 deg bag instead??”

“Campmor has a lot of good bags in that price/temp range. The general rule is to buy 5-10 degrees warmer than you need. I like down best. It's light and warm.”

“TNF cats meow 20 deg bag 169
MN Phantom 32 deg bag 240 but possible to catch it on sale somewhere for 190-200.

Those are the two bags I own.”

“you can get SlumberJack for pretty cheap. My husband swears by the summer bags.”

“Really? I've always found their bags to be overly heavy and not the highest quality. I have the 45 degree over bag but other bags may be better.”

“Nigal, I agree with you. BUT my husband likes them. Then again....he likes a 50lb pack....”

“TNF Cats Meow. Under 3lbs and consistent awards winner from Backpacker Magazine. Never heard anything but praise for it.”

“LL Bean has a 20 Synthetic bag in the 3lb range in the $70-80 dollar range.”

“Big Agnes Zirkel. $200 and built well to last. 20° and right on for temp rating.”

“I like my REI Polar Pod 20 degree synthetic. Especially considering I got it on clearance for $30. I think retail was 90 or so.”

“Killer deal on WM Super Ultralite bags.
