Hello experienced hikers,
Up to this point, I've only used cheap synthetic sleeping bags. However, now I live in the region of the Cascades, where it is quite rainy most of the year. I want to get a sleeping bag that would be appropriate for the climate.
Now, while I certainly want to keep weight minimal, it is my understanding that down sleeping bags just do not work well when wet. There are times here where it will rain on and off for a week, meaning there'd be little drying time available.
Would anyone be able to point me in the direction of the lightest synthetic bags, say around 20 degrees? Or, if you have a different experience with down, some advice on the matter?
Thanks!
