Bag is a MINUS 40 (-40) and another MINUS 20 (-20).

-40 just under 5 lbs
-20 just ......3 lbs

If you need a warmer BAG.....you might want to sleep in my tent.

I should think the minus 20 would work just fine. I can't imagine needin anything warmer than that. I'd like cook in my sleep! :)

Depending on the weather, you might even be fine in your 15* bag. Last year you wouldn't have had any problems. On, the other hand, I could end up freezing in my 0* bag, you can just never know until the trip gets closer.
