[pct-l] sleeping bag - rei sub kilo

[Lisa Freathy]

I LOVE mine!!!  

The compress sack that came w/ripped at the straps after a couple of trips, but 
they let me take my pick off the shelf for a replacement one. I tore out the 
draw cord last year and ripped a section, (I was using as a blanket while 
lakeside and accidentally stepped on the bag while trying to pull the hood 
closed while walking back to the tent, not the best protection plan). I thought 
they were no longer available at REI so I easily sewed the rip and re-strung the 
cord rather than return and it seems to be holding up fine where I did the 
repair.

My friend borrows my hubby's sub kilo whenever she goes with me and is buying 
one for herself this week. Great price right now!

Just bought one!! AHHH! I hope I made a good choice... can't beat REI's return 
policy though :-)

My wife and I both had REI sub kilos for the pct. We did it in sections, but
have completed it. Most of the time the bag is fine. On very cold days, you
might have wear all your clothes to keep warm. We did use a tent for most of
the pct. That adds a warmth factor. We have had the bags for about six
years, and put a lot of mileage on them, so the down is somewhat compacted
by now.
