I am planning a NOBO thru hike of the Appalachian Trail in 2016 and have struggled with the type of bag to use. I will be using a hammock with the warbonnet superfly tarp as my shelter. I am leaning towards the Kelty TraiLogic 20 SB which uses DriDown filling with a waterproof hood and foot box. I'm concerned with the possibility of the sleeping bag getting wet rendering it mostly useless.
I am sure this has been asked before and am sorry for the repeat (so please no "irritated" responses) but I dug pretty deep and couldn't find a post concerning this topic.
DRIDOWN VS SYNTHETIC
Any advice is appreciated. What was some of you're experiences as you thru hiked the AT?
