I've been doing a little research and would like your opinions on which of these bags I should buy. I plan to use it for three-season backpacking in the Rockies, Tetons, etc. The temp ratings and weights come from the sellers' sites.

My criteria are: no more than $200, 15-35 Fahrenheit range, 40 oz. max and down filling. I want a bag tough enough to endure half a dozen week-long trips per year, for at least several years. If you know of another bag that qualifies, I'm all ears (or perhaps eyes). Thanks!

REI is having a sale starting soon and the Sub Kilo should be on sale for under 175.

20 degree, 29 oz, 750 down.

Sounds nice! I wonder if your REI membership discount applies to items on sale? It should be under $200 regardless.

Yeah, another vote for the sub kilo bag. I've looked at it up close and think it's a nice bag. At the sale price, it's a great value.
