Buy a exped 9 pad and you'll sleep way warmer. All buddies have switched after letting them try it one night.
just double checking.. 30deg is not warmer..unless your talking about the ambient temp and not that bag anymore.
i did the archery hunt in ID..it was effen freezing. i used a 20 deg western mountaineering bag and it was downright chilly. that first "sit up" in the morning inside the bag would cause ice to crunch on the outside of my bag. it was kinda unpleasant and had me dreaming of a 0 deg bag.
i might be the only human on this site that HATED my slick bag. i had the first generation and it soured me so badly, i would never buy any of the new generations..i dont care what pixie dust they fill it with.
if i had to pick ONE bag..it would be a 10 deg sleeping bag from Western Mountaineering. great bags, great features..and if it's warmer you can use it like a blanket and stick a leg out to be the radiator. if it got colder, you could get buy wearing some more clothing..
What’s better for backpack hunting, the Exped 9 or Xtherm? My insulated Klymit Static V isn’t cutting it for me and I am a cold sleeper.

Another question I’m trying to wrap my head around is the fill power. I’ve always thought that the higher fill power the warmer the bag would be; but I see companies (like EE) offering a bag in a temp rating with several fill powers to choose from. Wouldn’t a given bag filled with 950 down have a lower temp rating (in other words, keep you warmer) than the same bag filled with 850 down? So how/why is a bag given - temp rating for 3 different fill powers? What am I missing?
