    Default Great Deals on Montbell Sleeping Bags

    http://www.montbell.us/products/list...id=10&fo_flg=1

    These are top of the line bags on sale directly from Montbell. This would be a great time to upgrade if you are in the market. Sure wish I could upgrade from a #5 synthetic to a #5 down for summer.

    What kind of bag do you have now? Can you use it like a quilt over the summer (the $150 is a long FY) and can you swing the $287? If so, you cant go wrong with the 15 deg down bag at 34oz. My brother has it and loves it. You will definitely want a high quality warm bag for your thru hike.

    I have two heeeaaaavy car camping sort of bags. One is like 20° the other is a basic summer bag. Walmart quality.

    I was originally thinking I'd make two (down) quilts. Summer and winter.... But it would be nice if I didn't have to go down that dark and unknown path.

    If it were me and I had the money I would get the quality bag for winter when it could very well save your life. You can be a bit more conservative in the summer but it can still get chilly in the mountains. Depending on the weight/ compressibility of your summer walmart bag you could use the Montbell as a quilt.
