Hey there... been posting many threads recently....
Planning on doing a part of the AT starting June 15th for 4-5 weeks... would probably be starting in upstae NY or CT going up to VT perhaps...
anyhow... i thought about getting theMountain Hardwear Lamina +35 bag which is about 117$ on most sites online, but then i found out about two similarly rated bags:
1- Kelty light year XP 40+ , which is about 75$
2- Lafuma extreme 1000 +40, which is about 55$
The Kelty's been getting mixed reviews, however the Lafuma has been getting excellent reviews, it is 70$ cheaper, roomier, only 5 deg. colder, and slightly heavier....
i would imagine than in this time of the year i wouldnt be needing anything more than 40F...
I'm just a little suspicious about the quality difference that i would be getting on such a high price difference....
Any thoughts?
