Check out Sierra Trading Post as well (www.sierratradingpost.com). We had
about 1/2 our crew buy a poly, 30 degree, under 3 lb bag (I forget the
brand, but it was a name brand) for $79. AND, if you are a first time
customer, they give you 20% off of your first order, which pushed it down
into the $65 range. It was a nice bag, crunched down nice and small, and
no one went cold, even at Mt Phillips camp after a day of rain! Right now,
they have a 20 degree Alps Mountaineering bag for only $33, although it is
a bit heavy at 3 lb 12 oz. But the price is right! Their inventory
changes almost daily, so just keep your eyes open..... YIS. Mike (Treks

Please respond to

I really appreciate all the input on my Christmas Tents post. Now I need
few suggestions for my trekkers' parents that are considering Christmas
Sleeping Bags. I have been looking at bags on the net, but I need
recommendations from pholks with Philmont experience.
I've been trying to find a new, 2 lb, 6'6" long, 38" wide, 20 degree,
rectangular (I abhor having my feet bound), $65, sleeping bag that stuffs
down to the size of a softball. I don't think I'll find one.
In reality I'm thinking about suggesting a lightweight 30 degree bag and
adding a fleece liner. I've eliminated "down" bags due to performance when
wet. I'm willing to stand corrected if anyone knows of a reasonably priced
down bag that can keep out the rain.
All suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Please don't hesitate to list
make, model, and price.
