[QUOTE="jmden, post: 1033896, member: 1742"] Hey...if that works for you, do it! I just haven't had an issue. All of my 'good' bags are at least 800+ (most 850+) down and manufactured by very reputable companies. I store them completely uncompressed and hanging in a large cabinet I made for that purpose. They get washed and dried once a year or that really seems to help restore their loft, at least for awhile. For me, the temp ratings have worked out pretty well so far and I don't want to carry the extra or un-needed weight and bulk of a warmer rated bag. If I recall those temp ratings are typically calculated with the idea that someone is wearing socks, long underwear tops and bottoms and a hat. And, depending on your metabolism, and what you are wearing and how well the bag fits your body...just lots of variables. Temp ratings that work from person to person may vary widely is a what I'm trying to say. Just got to find out what works for you. It's obviously pretty important to sleep comfortably night to night if you want to hunt hard day to day. I've put a great deal of effort into being comfortable in camp backpacking in varying conditions so that I can hunt hard day after day...and that, I think, is one main point of this thread. Sleep well, guys! :D [/QUOTE]
