I'm looking to buy my first bag, and the Marmot Never Winter 30 degree, 600 fill dwon bag is on sale for $125 (reg) or $140(long).
I live in Florida, and most of my backpacking will be done in North Carolina and Tennessee during spring,
summer, and fall. I'll almost always have a tent to sleep in.
Does anyone have experience with this bag?
Is going with down a good idea? I'll probably get of those eVent stuff sacks for it.
Should I get the long version (I'm 5'11 tall)? Weight isn't too much of a concern, but will the dead space make my feet colder?
Any advice would be appreciated. If you know of other good bags under $150, please let me know.
