So looking for insider perspective on the pro/cons of these two bags..http://www.rei.com/product/847651/kelty-ignite-dridown-16-sleeping-bag vs. the http://www.rei.com/product/762528/marmot-helium-sleeping-bag
Bags are similarly rated temp wise at 15/16'F
The Kelty is heavier at 2lb12oz VS the Marmot at 2lbs 2 oz
The Kelty uses 600 fill duck down vs the Martmot with 850 goose down
My question is basically what makes the Marmot $350+ (I found one for $330) vs the Kelty at $209?
Either way the Kelty would be an upgrade for me over the 0'F synthetic bag im using that weighs 4lbs 10oz (http://www.cabelas.com/product/Eureka-Kaycee-Sleeping-Bag/1168705.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3Fform_state%3D searchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProduc ts%26Ntt%3Deureka%2Bsleeping%2Bbag%26x%3D0%26y%3D0 %26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts&Ntt=eureka+sleeping+bag&WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products)
So am I wasting my money on the Kelty? Will i just end up buying a Marmot down the road?
Also what kind of comparison would a JacksRbetter Hudson River Quilt be? Knowing about 60% of my camping is in an Eno single nest hammock with a zlite pad..... http://www.jacksrbetter.com/shop/hudson-river-standard-rectangular-quilts/
Any advice is appreciated....will also be reposting this in Hammock Forums
