has anybody tried this one? its only carried by cabellas and is being phased out. its a kelty lightyear, but rectangular instead of mummy. i dont care for most mummy bags as i feel the girth isnt enough in the shoulders.

Considered it, tested a cheaper winter mummy bag this year. Kept me warm, but, surely felt confined. Considered a rectangular, but, I think I will try to make a quilt.

Johnny, I'm interested in a rectangular bag. Do you have a link?

Nevermind. Found it, thanks.

get @ least a 20 degree bag, no matter what the name brand...

also, i'd shop around for a roomier mummy bag for your shoulder dilemma.

mummy bags pack easier!

good luck w/ your hike.:D

see ya'll out there Apr 25-May 6

now, as to my modification plans (do any of us leave anything alone?) ...
im thinking of having a 12 inch long zipper sewn into the folded side of the bag, at arm height, to give me the ability to stand in the bag during entry and egress of my hammock.

Does it have a two-way zipper for the footbox?

yes, it had the two way zipper, fat boy drawcord, captive cord locks, inside and outside loops for connecting pads, bags, liners.....it had everyting the regular lightyears had....but was rectangular.
