By Ranked #496 - 25 to 5 Degree Down Bags May 27, 2011

Can anybody explain what the difference is here with the BA Grouse Mountain bag? I've read both of their specs in multiple places, but can't seem to tell which one is better for which uses. Ideas?

Also, I feel kind of locked into a getting a BA bag since I like pad-replaces-back-loft concept so well. Is this correct?

The main difference, this bag is a squared off mummy style while the Grouse Mountain is a mummy style. The Lost Ranger is a very nice bag and it is roomy. I have switched all of my bags to BA because I like the pad sleeves so much. They keep the pad where it should be and I have found with a decent rated pad my back stays warm.
