Does anyone know if a MontBell #3 SS and a feathered friends egret (W's 20*) zip together? I've been able to zip together a WM bag to the FF bag, but wondering if a MB will zip to the FF bag. Do these brands use pretty standard zipper sizes? Thanks.

I believe the Western Mountaineering bags are often YKK #5 coil zippers. If your FF bag zips to the WM bag, it is also a #5 zipper. The Montbell I have is a #8 zipper, and would not be compatible with a #5 zipper.
Furthermore, Montbell bags seem to use zippers with the slider on the opposite side than most other zippers, furthering the incompatibility. See here: http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=20226&skip_to_post=160597#160597
Thanks, Benjamin. I may just look at getting another WM or FF bag then. Do the zippers say what size they are on them anywhere? Or do you just have to compare them side by side?
