Hey guy's, any one using this bag, thinking of getting two of these. I know the WM stuff is pretty damn good, just don't want to spend the coin and find out it's not going to stand up to a lot of abuse on the trail, going on a 10 day Sheep hunt this fall and my current set up is way to heavy.
Thanks Eric

Eric I have and use the Terra. It's my favorite bag, down to 30 deg. Lots of room for a big guy, I weight 230 and am 6 ft 3 in. I use it a lot as a quilt, and it has a zipper vent at the foot too. If it meets your temp. req. then by all means buy it. I have four WM bags and the Terra rates up at the top.

Can't speak to the terra but i have an older 30deg WM bag and its crazy light. Have to imagine that it would last many many nights on the trail. WM customer service is pretty good, they will keep your bag running forever if you need them too, they will patch it, add fill, whatever you need. Also, if you get a 30deg bag and its not warm enough you can send it back to get "overfilled" for pretty cheap (like 30-50 bucks i think)

I bought my Antelope from Brad about 10-12 years ago and it's still going strong. Even got inadvertently stored in a stuff sack for 6 months and still recovered all it's loft after a little care.

I have the Terra bag and it's one of my favourite things, warm, roomy and usable under the temperature rating by a fair bit. It packs into an impossibly small stuff sack. Seems semi-magical when it just keeps expanding and expanding when released from captivity.

Love mine. I have one overfilled. I just took it down to 27degrees and wasn't cod. Granted, I was sleeping in the back of my GMC Acadia so take that for what it is worth.
I got it because it is extra roomy and it will fully open up for the warmer weather outings.
