Alright so I moved to Estes park in march and am getting ready for the winter. Golite's 4 season adrenaline bags are on sale for a crazy price right now. Will that bag be enough for the winter up here?
Aug 21, 2012 at 7:42 pm #1904744The last few trips in the NM or CO winter high country I've used my Feathered Firends eVent shelled 10 bag. I also have my Stephenson's DAM, I think the pad underneath is almost as important as the bag around you.
I think the Golite bag will be fine, but see if you can wear some clothes inside it just in case.

I'm also in Boulder if you want to go for a hike or need trip ideas.
Enjoy Estes!
