[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1540792, member: 54178"] [I]My 3 season bag[/I]-> Western Mountaineering Megalite (overstuffed to 20 F.) down bag. I have used it very comfortably with mid weight polyester long johns & light fleece balaclava to 15 F. using a Thermarest Trail Pro mattress. It is sold as a 30 F. bag and in my experience works to 26 F. but I sent it back to have it overstuffed for a 20 F. rating. That overstuffing fee was the best $45. I ever spent on outdoor gear. [I]My winter ba[/I]g-> LL Bean -20 F. down bag (Best winter bag I have ever seen or used.) For the money it is an excellent buy. I believe it is still on a double sale right now. REI FLASH Insulated air mattress. In sub zero temps I add a Thermarest Ridgerest foam mat beneath it. ** I have never needed to carry my winter bag for hunting. If it was unexpectedly cold with the 3 season bag there is enough room inside the Megalite that I can wear my light down jacket and insulated pants which I am confident would carry me comfortably to 10 F. A light fleece balaclava and heavy "sleep socks" are necessary in cold weather. The balaclava is also a safety item for use anytime. Eric B.
