I just received a new Kifaru slick bag in the 20 degree model. I was hoping this would be my last bag purchase for Colorado Elk bow hunts. I am a bit disappointed. I started out with an Igneo 19 degree down bag. I loved the weight and the compressibility of the Igneo, I didn't care for the zipper or the width of this bag. I am 5'10 and 182lbs.
I went with the Kifaru because of the center zipper and the weather resistance of the synthetic fill. I just got the bag tonight and got inside to find it more restricting than the Igneo. I tried to stuff it into my Sea to Summit stuff sack and it is WAY less compressible than the Igneo. I knew it would be bulkier, but not this much.
Can you experts give me some options of a good 15 to 20 degree down bag that is of good quality that won't break the bank. Somewhere in the $200 to $400 range.
I want warmth when it is needed and compressibility.
