Hello,
I am looking to buy a synthetic fill sleeping bag rated for 35 to 45 degrees.Must be superlight. Not a quilt either as I haven't had good luck with them. I have all down sleeping bags and want to try a synthetic one. Any recomendations? Thanks!

I have the mountain hardware lamina 35. It's right in that temperature range, and right around 2 lbs. I like it, packs small.
You are going to find most bags in that temp are right around the 2lb mark. If they are any lighter or heavier, then they are generally going to be that much colder or warmer.
Evan,
I have a 35 degree synthetic bag, 2 lbs or less, that I've only used a couple of times that I'd be willing to sell you cheap. I forget the brand, but I can pull it out tonight and check. If you are interested send me a PM.

I'd recommend any light synthetic bag that uses Climashield insulation. ALL synthetic insulations lose loft with repeated compression but Climashield will lose the least loft.
BTW, You will see many synthetic insulations on the market and some brands of bags will have insulation names you (or I ) have never heard of before. Stick to well known brands at the least, brands like Polarguard (several types), Primaloft, or even the British proprietary Softie Snugpak.
thanks for the info!
Check Sierra Designs. I'm not up on their latest models but they usually make some of the lighter synthetic bags. As a plus they don't tend to cost an arm and a leg.
Marmot has some good, and pretty darn cheap, options.
