    WM bags look awesome, but they are a little out of my price range at the moment. I'm sure halfway thru my hike I will have wished I spent the money, I hear nothing but good things about WM.

    The thing is, I didn't start with all those layers. I added a layer about every hour because I was still really cold. I'm not sure what went wrong.
