best thing i ever did for my bag, and my pack in general is stop keeping my
sleeping bag in a stuff sack.
in fact i cut 19 ounces out of my baseweight by being rid of all stuff sacks.
and i actually fit MORE gear into my pack doing so.

I'm going to try to rip the stuff sack before I go then (not really try, but be
hard on it) so I don't get stuck on the pct without one. I'm glad you love
yours! That makes me excited :-) How's the size? It seems like a lot of people
say it's too small or only for really skinny people. How skinny does one need to
be in order to fit comfortably? What kind of shelter do you have? I'm thinking
about getting either the Wild Oasis from Six Moons Designs or the the Sublite
tarptent...

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!

policy though :-)
