I know people worry about getting a down bag wet. Well I worry about the cost before the wet,lol. If you have a good bag or even a pack cover you should be ok. I never open my sleeping bag out side of my tent, if for any reason to keep it clean. Considering most tents are waterproof the chances of your down bag getting wet are slim
you know I bet that is a great sleeping bag and yeah its really small, but come on who has $200 laying around to spend on a sleeping bag I mean everyone wants the smallest lightest sleeping bag we can afford, right.
Tiny I think that if the down bags get wet they will not retain heat and they become a soggy mess and are hard to dry (Take along time) but the 20* SlumberJack bags you mentioned are a very good choice and they will compress down alot smaller than what was shown and they are warm in the cool nights and sleeing conditions.
actually down does, but i like synthetic because its less expensive and works just as well, and as the person above said, they take alot of time to dry. i like synthetic my self.
So true about getting what you pay for! The only problem with down is that it isn't warm when it gets wet. Make sure if you have a down bag to have a VERY GOOD stuff sack. Tinny, any other advice about down?
I remember back in the old days when they had those "Built for tough" garments before the slogan became a industry joke.
