[pct-l] Cheap synthetic sleeping bag

[Austin Williams]

Yeah, I'd say that's true about most bags.  Still though, if it's even in
the ball park of 15 degrees and in the ballpark of 3 pounds.... then the
price is pretty dang good.  Even for a synthetic bag.

If I was trying to do the hike for as little money as possible I'd probably
check it out.

That being said... I love my Marmot Helium 15 degree down bag.  Ahhhhhh....
I get all warm and fuzzy just thinking about it.
