[pct-l] Sierra Designs Backcountry Bed 800 3-Season Sleeping Bag

[Lindsey Sommer]

I saw this yesterday while wandering around REI, it looked super cozy and
well made. But, I gotta agree, the weight + price point doesn't seem great.

I just bought a Hammock Gear Burrow 20 that is extra wide, that weighs
about 19oz for about $285 total. It is also super cozy and I'm impressed by
the loft!
