anyone have the MH Hyperlamina and like it?  Or the Marmot Trestle Eco elite? I read reviews about the MH Spark rated as 34 and have the usual skepticism, only personal experience was a Cats Meow not even close to temp rating.   Yes I have read the reviews on the various vendor websites, hoping to hear more for other users

I have this bag and just did an overnight at 43F and the bag was comfortable. I would say the ratings are very accurate-34F lower, 44F comfort.  Remember, the listed rating on bags is lower limit, add 10F for comfort rating.

I also have 2 of the Cats Meow-one older and one more recent. I will say when new, the ratings are so so-I was comfortable at high 30’s. As I have had them a while, with little use, the ratings have really dropped.  My wife was a bit cold on same trip at 43F. I wouldn’t go with Cat’s Meow as I have been reading others experience what I have-starts off good but degrades quickly. Kelty Cosmic 20 seems to come up often as decent synthetic bag that not too pricey. I think anything from Mountain Hardwear will be good as well.
