Sorry guys! Been busy didnt see activity in this thread. Anywho, got the bag. Its a Wenzel 0 rated bag. Pretty cheap, was 25 dollars shipped to my door.
The bullet points on the box are:
1) Filled with 56 OZ of non-allergenic Omega II polyester insulation for excellent warmth retention
2) Polyester outer and liner
3) Machine Washable
4) Drawstring hood for extra warmth
5) Full length weather strip draft tube
6) Double layer offset quilt construction prevents cold spots
7) Self Repairing 2way zipper with anti snag tape for trouble free camping
8) Personal storage pocket at foot for easy to find items
9) Drawstring internal shoulder collar

linky for bag After looking it over and giving it a brief test on the deck...
Seems pretty ok. Obviously what you save in $ you loose in weight penalty. Its ok tho, my money is worth a lot to me so Ill deal with lugging this around. (saving for a garand <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> )Its not soooo bad. The zippers seem like theyll be ok. I really like super mega way to big YKK type zippers but these arent so bad. The storage pocket on the bottom?? Dont see me using it but it doesnt hurt at all. The material the shell and inside is made out of seems as strong as any other bag Ive seen. Im happy with that. The draft blocking strip along the zipper is thick and works well. The strap around your chest and the cord to pull the hood tight make a huuuuuuuuge difference. Would never have imagined. I was instantly way too warm when I pulled them tight around me. (It was only like 65 out tho)
I hope Ill get it out for a real test run soon. All and all well worth my 25 bucks.
