[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1276117, member: 54178"] Decide what temps you'll be using this bag for and buy accordingly. EX. I have a Western Mountaineering Megalite bag that was a 30 F. bag. After spending a cool night at 20 F. at 8,000 ft. in August on the PCT I sent it back to WM and got it "overfilled". Now it's a good 20 F. bag. In hot weather I fully unzip it and put it over me as a quilt with the end of my pad stuck into the foot of the bag. If you get a down bag try to get one like the BA bag with "Down Tek" or "Dri Down" DWR treatment. This keeps the down drier and warmer and the bag dries much faster. 650 fill (650 cu. in. per oz. of down) is on the low end and cheaper but heavier. (900 fill is at the top end and expensive.) My bags are 800 fill (3 season) and 750 fill (winter). Eric B. [/QUOTE]
