Rainy Pass
Another vote for Rainy Pass, if you want to have it repaired. I agree REI will take it back. If you think the tear was due to poor material, then take it back. If you think you caused it, it up...

SynMat UL7
I have the SynMat UL7. I'm a man that sleeps cold. I use a 20 degree bag. I found the SynMat UL7 only felt cold to me when temps outside my tent were at freezing. The other trips I've do...

I prefer a liner
I have a silk liner that weighs about 4 ounces (maybe less). I always use it. Sometimes I have a base layer on also, if it is cold enough. Use what you like. I prefer to sleep in less clothing, ...

12 onz seems reasonable.

Osprey Aether
Another vote for the Osprey Aether line. They come in 60, 70 and 85 liters. I have the 60 and use it more than other packs because it is so comfy.

Rainy Pass did a good job on my marmot bag.
I sent a marmot bag to Rainy Pass earlier this year. I had it returned to me in within a week. They did a great job. I would recommend them for those that don't have a day to spend in a laundry...

ship it?
I had Rainy Pass in Seattle wash my Marmot bag. I mailed it on Monday, had it back Thursday. (I'm only 1-day UPS transit from them). You might check that out.

I found a Montbell jacket for 25% off on backcountrygear.com as part of their Memorial Day Sale. After buying the jacket, I read these reviews and got nervous and second-guessed my purchase. Two d...
