So the air stays pretty wet here in the Virginias and my sleeping bags of choice are typically synthetic. I love the weight and compactability of down, but I often wake up in the deciduous rain forests of West Virginia soaked, and down loses most of its appeal when soaked. But so I've needed a nice cold weather bag now for a few winters (I've been doing the bundle up and carry a liner thing for a couple years) and with a month-long trip coming up this January--a big month-long trip to the dry desert climes of Arizona--I thought I'd use the excuse to buy a real down sleeping bag. I haven't used it yet--I mean, it just showed up today--but I was so excited I hopped online and wrote this paragraph.
New gear is so much fun. 900+ Goose Down in a waterproof shell rated to 0*F coming in at less than 3 pounds and made in the good ole USA. What can I say? It's the little things that keep me going in between trips to the river.
