Also, peruse the Used Gear forum here daily - you'll see some great deals pop up often - heck, there are a few sleeping bag liners there now if your budget doesn't allow you to buy a new one.

I have a Eureka Casper, it is good for about 30degrees for me and I do not get cold at night very easily. I also have a Kelty Light Year 40 degree bag that is down, it is about as warm to me as the Eureka and is and; well see for yourself the size difference.




and the Casper is 2 Lbs heavier.

The Marmot Aspen 15* Adventurer is a 600 FP bag. 2lb 8oz. Almost identical to the Marmot Sawtooth but made exusively for Dicks Sporting Goods. Mine stuffs down to a little larger than a football. Cost me w/ a discount coupon $119 but you can sometimes get it cheaper.
