what would be a good 20* bag, light weight, synthetic that won't break my budget?

SIERRA DESIGNS WILD BILL/ROSA...$99. (synthetic-fill, 3lbs, 20 degrees) :D
voted by BACKPACKER magazine as "best buy" for several years!
i've used the Wild Bill for several years now with NO COMPLAINTS!
Jaybird. I have a synthetic bag that is a 20 degree bag that weighs less then that.

Have you actually tried to sleep in a down bag? I, too, am allergic to down (down pillows, blankets, etc.). But I do not have any issues with either of my down bags (SD Van Winkle and WM MityLite).
If you go synthetic I'd look for a Polarguard Delta bag. But given that it is the "top" synthetic, it will probably cost a bit more.

I do plan on borrowing a friends down bag & give it a shot but if it doesn't work out wanted to have some ideas as to where to go from there...thanks again :D
