Jim,

Keep in mind the bulk (volume when stuffed in a stuff sack) of the bag. Down
can compress better than synthetics. 850 vs 600 down fill, 850 compresses
best. Smaller stuff sack means smaller backpack means less weight the
backpack has to be. Also if you use a compression bag, consider the wieght
of the compression bag and what that compression does to the insulating
material of the sleeping bag.

less bulk, less weight,
- armchair
