If you just bought a #2, you might be about to kick yourself..
These are the 2006 725 fill power Montbell Super Stretch Down bags, regular length, at a store near me. 825 grams for a -5C (about 20F) bag.
New ones are 800 fill power, but 824 grams (only 1 gram lighter!) and cost about $280 new!
These are $168, another $20 for shipping to the US(or more for overnight), and $12 for my 'trouble':), and 3% for paypal; total of $206 by registered/insured airmail.
PM me or email me at brettgb2004 at yahoo dot com if you are interested and I'll run down and see if they have any more..act quick, these are the last of the 2006s and could sell out any time.
I got a similar deal on an alpine #7 for $100, and it was a steal that still brings a smile to my face.
I have fondled both the 725 and the 800 FB bags and I can't detect a difference; they are both silky smooth and puffy as a bag of whipped cream.
If I didn't already have a #3 I would definitely get this #2..
