Has anyone heard of this sleeping bag? (http://www.rei.com/product/850000/mountain-equipment-xero-550-sleeping-bag) Its rated down to 18 degrees Fahrenheit and only 20 oz! I would be hesitant to buy something though that has no reviews though, any thoughts?
Those specs are all screwed up. Go to the website for Mountain Equipment. It's a 32°F bag for women and a 21°F bag for men. It has 19oz of down, which is about right for a bag with this rating and fill power. It's not a 20oz bag though, it's a 34oz bag.
You should consider that this bag costs about the same as a 15°F Western Mountaineering Apache that weighs 2oz less. Western Mountaineering has a stellar reputation for service after the sale.

I was just looking at the same bag and realized they had posted the fill weight as the bag weight as well! Knew it was too good to be true.
