[pct-l] sleeping bags

[BrianBowlsby at ieice.com (Brian Bowlsby)]

My Feathered Friends "Hummingbird" bag is rated at 20 degrees, and weighs
only 1 lb. 11 oz. The bag is rather narrow in girth and has a half length
zipper, so some people might not like it, but it works good for me. I'm
5'-8" and 150 lbs.  In my opinion the temp rating is a little off though...
It's more like a 30 degree bag. The nice thing about Feathered Friends bags
is that you can customize them to your liking when you order... You may want

At some point in the not-too-distant future, I'm going to be replacing my
beat-up old LaFuma synthetic for a lightweight down bag. I've narrowed it
down to some contenders, and I wanted to know if anyone has had experience
with any of the following bags...

Mountain Hardwear Phantom
Mountainsmith Wisp
Western Mountaineering Megalite or Pod 30
Marmot Hydrogen

My criteria were for a 30 degree bag weighing < 2 lbs. If you have
experience with a bag fitting those criteria and not on this list, I'd be
happy to hear about that, too.
