[pct-l] ReL Sleeping bag question

[Ken Powers]

Yup, I've got over 10,000 miles on mine and still love it.  It is a 20 
degree bag that kept me warm at night in all but a few cold nights. They 
make high quality bags. Often compared to FeatheredFriends bags, another 
good down bag company.

Hey folks,

First of all, someone pointed out to me that my message was all garbled with 
coding or something. I'm not sure why that is. Sorry about that! (Hopefully 
this message isn't also garbled, otherwise I'll switch to a different e-mail 
address).

Secondly, I'm getting the sense from some feedback that maybe I should stick 
with a 20F bag all the way through and maybe even bring a silk liner for the 
shoulder seasons and the Sierras. Should I bother swapping out for the 40F 
bag at any point, to save weight and not be too warm at night?

I get very cold at night in cold weather. I'd rather be too warm than too 
cold in my bag and would prefer not to wear every article of clothing I own 
to bed. I am, however, bringing a full-on tent, no cowboy camping or 
tarp/tarptent for me. It's my one compromise on the ultralight philosophy 
(though it's an ultralight tent).

GoLite bag looks promising, especially the price compared to Nunatak. I'm 
tempted to get the Western Mountaineering Ultralight, though it's not much 
cheaper than the Nunatak, it weighs less than the GoLite and I have a gift 
certificate that will cover most of the cost of it. Does anyone have any 
experience with Western Mountaineering?

Thanks!
Tamsin
