[QUOTE="woodsmanlw, post: 1486634, member: 87767"] I going to throw this out there because I think its useful. There is a guy who is a bit of a curmudgeon but he's been doing bags for a long time and seems to know what he's talking about and he does some videos that go over various aspects of bags, insulation, etc. He does not deal in down since its ineffective when wet so if you are set on down his information will disappoint you. He provides bags for military, search and rescue and thankfully you and I. You can look at youtube to watch guys who put them in a bathtub to soak them in water then go sleep in them outside in approx freezing temps and do just fine. Anyway, the guy in question is called Wiggy. Go to wiggys.com and look over the bags. They are not light, and do not compact down like a down bag but man they are warm even when wet. I need to get one that is for warmer temps because the 0 degree bag is too much, which I never thought I'd say about a sleeping bag because I've been freezing my backside off in 20 degree down bags for years. I think a 20 degree wiggys will fit my bill. [/QUOTE]
