[pct-l] down or synthetic bags?

["Bradley Cascagnette" <bcascagn@law.uoregon.edu>]

A friend is planning to hike the PCT this summer and is concerned about whether to take a down or synthetic bag.  I swore to him that down is
the way to go, but he is still concerned about his down bag becoming wet and losing its ability to maintain warmth.

What percentage of people on long distance hikes are carrying synthetic and down bags??

my guess would be 80% down 20% synthetic.

Opinions??
