<div dir="ltr">Seconded on the Z packs 20 degree. I've put well over 200 nights in with that bag in temps from 2F to 70F. Still lots of loft and always warm (I add a liner in in single digit temps). Fantastic construction and as light as anything on the market. Favorite bag I've ever had. Also comes with my favorite stuff sack ever. Wins all around.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 9, 2015 at 9:00 AM, Scott Williams <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:baidarker@gmail.com" target="_blank">baidarker@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Just to add more options, I used a Z Packs 20 degree bag/quilt in 2012 on the CDT and was never cold. At 1 pound, it's the best bag I've ever owned and has lasted through rehikes of Glacier, the Winds, a thru hike of the AT and this year an early season hike of the Camino de Santiago and several trips along the JMT, and it's still got loft. With a light, dress zipper closure, which is underneath, it has no need of zipper baffles and no hood, they've saved fully a pound in weight over many competing bags. There is a drawstring however at the top so it can be snugged up and around your face for the full mummy experience if you want that, but almost always I used it as a quilt. Camped above 13,000 in the snowy San Juans however, the mummy ability made it a real bag when we needed it. Great bag and I'm still using it.<div><br></div><div>Shroomer</div></div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 9, 2015 at 7:37 AM, Jim and_or Ginny Owen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:spiriteagle99@hotmail.com" target="_blank">spiriteagle99@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;padding-left:1ex;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid">
<div><div dir="ltr">For our SOBO hike, I used a 10 deg bag the whole way. It was a cold year except for a few weeks in late July, early August..
