I was wondering if the MOUNTAIN HARDWEAR Phantom 15° Sleeping Bag was worth investing in. Its $199 at Ems today and I am not sure if it will be at that price much longer. Here is the link (http://www.ems.com/catalog/product_detail_square.jsp;jsessionid=FYOgrH6b1qV9i Dcf0ex8M6m5174OkuYZ2G1KYjoxxuXhSS0elGJ2!-1167823519!174391836!7005!8005?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id =845524442588611&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=282574488340209&bmUID=1163448032357&emssrclnk=extremedeal) Thank you.

<20 deg + <2lb + <$200 = Buy it!

That is what I am wondering too if the sale will end today. I already do own a Cats Meow 3d which I though was 35 degree but it is a 15 so now my thoughts are do i spend the $200 for a 1lb difference and down over my synthetic,:-?
I own the Phantom +32, +15 & 0, and they've been great so far. I'd recommend you buy it for $199.

Did MH stop making the 0 degree bag in that series (Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium or whatever it was)? I can't find it listed anywhere, even on the MH website. On my last hike (late October) I hit some unseasonably cold weathr and my 20 degree bag was marginal, so I'm looking around.

I have the Phantom 15 and I'm very happy with it. Also, that's a killer good price!

The element series bags are from Marmot, IIRC, and I just saw them in Black Dome outfitters in Asheville last week. That Lithium is very nice....

Thanks. biogcranky. I realized that after I sent the send button on my original post. But I haven't seen the zero degree bag listed in any catalogues this year. You saw one? I wonder if its old inventory or still in production. I'll check the Marmot site, I guess.
