Seems like a great deal. Anyone have experience with this bag?

screw it, I bought it. lol
FYI, with free in store pick up it came out to $138 but it also came with a free $20 gift card for members.
Really don't think you can beat that for a sub 3lb down bag rated for 20 deg.

Dang it. Had to check the closet. I have an EMS Down Under 20* bag I've never REALLY tried out. I'd be interested to compare the two. Can't see spending another $130 on a sleeping bag that looks pretty similar.

My EMS is 600 fill goose down, while the REI is 700 fill duck down. Piggyback onto the OP's question: much difference in the two at or about the same weight?

Thanks for the heads up, though. Hope someone can take advantage.

I won't be testing this out until the weekend of Nov 8. Planning a 2-night trip to Cumberland Island GA. Hoping it's cool enough to use
