I ran a kifaru 20 degree slick bag last year. Really light and I prefer synthetic insulation. Only downside to it that I see is it is not very roomy in the standard size. Don't plan on changing anytime soon.

My go to bag is a Marmot Pinnacle 15 deg early and late.  Leave a bit unzipped in the early season but plenty warm on winter hunts for me.  On the late hunts I also use a Montbell dry-tec sleeping bag cover and love it.  Really keeps condensation off the bag an only weighs 6 oz

Just picked up a Mountain Hardware 10 degree down bag. Weighs just under 2lbs. Got a smokin deal on it too. The girlfriend had a 30% off coupon she got from work. Saved me a hundred bucks!! Can't wait to get out and use it! Had been using a Northface synthetic bag the last ten years or so with zero problems. Just a bit heavier that's all.

Anyone have experience with liners? I have a 40 degree synthetic bag I'm thinking about using for September / early Archery. It's nice and lightweight and synthetic is a must for me because I never want to risk a wet down bag. I was thinking of getting a liner to boost the temperature rating a bit. Any recommendations?

No experience with liners but do have plenty of experience with canvas bedroll covers. The one I have gets me through even the coldest of nights in comfort.  Figure it adds anywhere from 15 to 20 degrees of added warmth.
