Perfect Bag, Perfect Price

Perfect bag at a very fair price. You ever buy something and think the price is too high for the value? Well not this Cat’s Meow. I have been using this bag for over a year now and it performs perfect from the Sierras to the Andes, even in a pretty nasty hotel where there was no way I was climbing in between the sheets of the bed. Last spring I was caught out in a very cold 5 degree night, even with fleece top and bottoms on I felt the cold, part of the fun is having to suck some up once in awhile. A few other nights I experienced a low of 15 and I was fine, I do run a bit warm and I eat right before going to sleep. At around 40 degrees it does get a bit warm.
Overall this bag is comfortable, sturdy, well made, priced well, and does what it is supposed to do.
