Asolo Flame Gore-Tex Boot - Men's
August 18, 2010
They are very similar, and I think they are both great boots. I use the Fugitive's myself as my main hiking/backpacking boot.
The biggest difference between the two is with their last (i.e. whats between the sole of the boot and the liner) and with the sole's themselves. Although the differences are very small, like types of material making up the shank and stuff. The Flames may also have an extra component to the sole, like a beefier heal-box or something like, that than the Fugitive's do if I remember right.

Sea To Summit eVent Compression Dry Sack
August 16, 2010
I have a Marmot 15 degree down bag (Pinnacle) and I fit it into the small. I first started out with a large stuff sack for the Pinnacle, but then switched to the small to conserve space. It's not as easy to stuff, that is for sure, and it takes some work to roll the top closed, but in reality, it takes maybe 2 or 3 minutes to stuff the bag, compress it some and then roll the top closed before you compress with the straps.

Marmot Pinnacle Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Down
July 26, 2010
I use the same Sea to Summit eVent compression sack you have pictured, but I use a size small. It's a really tight fit to get the dry sack rolled closed at the top, but if you work at it you can get it rolled three times and then snap the buckle closed. I've not tried the bag in the XS size compression sack, but I would venture to say it won't fit. I dare someone to prove me wrong though, just not with my sleeping bag... :)

La Sportiva Trango S EVO GTX Mountaineering Boot - Women's
March 19, 2010
Dan,
If you thinking of the Mens Trango S EVO GTX boots, then I think that they are closer to a narrow fit than a wide fit. I would not say they are really narrow though.
Hope that helps. I could measure them if you really would like.
