Notice, the guys with long experience, mine is 50+ years and includes using bags in BC and Alberta, frequently for 3 months at a time in some of the most remote places we have here, seem to recommend ONE maker?
Right now, the finest bags in North America, are made by Western Mountaineering and the best imported bags are made by Valandre of France....yeah, I know......
I use synthetics for some hunting trips, only solo ones and for my 4x4 emerg. kit, but, have never found one that equals a really good down bag, especially when temps are below 20*F.
