Reccomendations for a new synthetic fill sleeping bag.
Posted: Fri Nov 27, 2009 8:21 am
So It's time to get a new sleeping bag. My old one is worn out, and the funk just never seems to get washed out anymore. Plus it's been shedding down for years, I doubt the fill is anywhere near what it was new 15 years ago
I am looking to replace it with a Synthetic bag, rated to 0ºF temps.
I had been looking at the Mountain Hardwear Ultralamina. But, I seem to have alot of gear by them, and I don't really want to look like I was sponsored by them or something. Not that this is that important, but I wanted some opinions from SP before I make a solid choice.
So what do you use, and what is good and what sucks about your bag. I know, I am going to have a weight penalty for going with Synthetic, but for the climbing and backpacking I do, I always seem to head out in the rain (and it rains here alot in the PNW) so I wanted something that would not be compromised by getting wet.
Thanks in advance for your input.
