Default RE: Input needed on sleeping bag, Tent

IMO, the best sleeping bags for you are going to be the ones with Polarguard Delta. They don't compress quite as much as down (although they still compress a great deal), but they're still very light and they insulate even when wet. The big name companies all make good bags using this fill. For my money, I would buy the North Face Cat's Meow (+20 rating) without hesitation. It's one of the best bags made. I currently own the North Face Snowshoe (0 degree version of the Cat's Meow), and I love it. You really don't need a 0 degree bag for that time of year, though, so the Cat's Meow would be perfect. If the temperature drops below 20, just sleep with your clothes on. I have a 25 degree Polarguard 3D bag that I've used in sub-0 weather multiple times without any problem.

BTW, Polarguard Delta is the improved version of Polarguard 3D.
