i bought a "Sirius" "High Peak" "Simex Sport" sleeping bag at a local gear store on sale last week for $29.
the label says it's rated to about 50*F (supposedly EN rated).
the label says the material is 150g/m^2 which seems lighter than it actually feels.
the label also says it weighs 860 g or 0.84 lbs. on my scale outside the stuff sack it's 1 lb 9 oz. ouch. i bought it because the weight seemed plausible (if optimistic) in the store. i was hoping to cut a 1/3 off that weight…
oh well, i'll probably try it anyway just to get a feel for what i can do, and to try something out before i do it for real with lighter insulation and silk.
i'll probably be lucky to get it under a lb. but that's lighter than my 20* bag, so it might be usable when i know it'll be super warm… i really need something that'll get me down to 40* or so though.
