Daily special for today. I know nothing about it... I'm perfectly happy with my Western Mountaineering :D

Fill weight is really low, even for a 35 degree bag.

Notice it didn't give the fill rating on the down. White Goose Down, 90/10, sounds like quality stuff 8)

7oz of down for a 35* bag? Hahahahaha!

I've got a LaFuma "Warm 'n' Light" with 600 down that weighs about that, but its rated at 45 degrees. I sleep really warm (furnace) and I'm ok in at even down to about 35. Tested it back in May up high in RMNP at just freezing and was cool, not cold. If you sleep cold it wouldn't do at all.

It stuffs to about the size of a 1 litre Nalgene.

I wouldn't want to use it down to 35* that's for sure... my WM Megalite with 2oz of overfill is pushing it for me at that temp.

Would make a nice summer bag though when it drops into the 50's at night.

I have the same LaFuma bag Roam has. I used it from Va to Me. I froze in it. I am usually a warm sleeper, but when I dropped 40 lbs I guess I didn't have my usual body fat to keep me warm. For me, it was good to about 50 degrees. But I only paid 60.00 for it, so I can't complain.
