    Default If money was no object, what sleeping bag would you have?

    Sleeping bag is the ONLY Piece of gear i have where money is not a factor in the decision.
    The bag i have is the bag i would want if i didn't have one: Hummingbird by FF. lightest shell and inside material they make, 800 down, and none of that DWR stuff.

    Feathered Friend Winter Wren. Love the arm holes & foot opening so I can cook in it & don't have to get out of it if I have to make a nature call in middle of the night.

    The one I have - Western Mountaineering Caribou MF. I don't usually hike in below 35 - 40 deg weather so I don't need or want to carry a heavier warmer bag. The Megalite would also do. I like full zippers and wide girth bags.

    That would be my number one choice to try. I have never even seen a spiral down hugger in person.

    I love the shape and size of the marmot bag and they are the bast bags I have seen. They are also the best bags to sip together cuz of where the zippers are every bag has the same zipper from the womens short to the tall mens. now because money is an object for me I have the 650 fill versions but if money was no object I would get the lighter versions. insert temp here.

    The bag I already own... the Western Mountaineering Ultralite;
    http://westernmountaineering.com/ind...s&ContentId=17
    It's the perfect bag (for me) for 98% of the hiking that I do.
    Don't take anything I say seriously... I certainly don't.

    Any of the montbell super stretchy bags. The super spirals are not bad...but the original is like being inside nothing at all!

    I would have two, but as you asked for one, I will limit my answer accordingly.

    I would get a Hammock Gear 3-Season Burrow, with 900 fill and 1 oz overfill. This would keep me good to 15° or a little below. At 21 oz this would coomplement the rest of my gear perfectly for below 40° conditions.

    I would choose a much lighter setup for warmer weather, but that is another post.
