the thing with down is that with reasonable care it will last the rest of your life.Last year I took a western mountaineering bag to Rainy Pass for cleaning,the bag is about 28 years old and I thought it was done for.It came out like new,a grat investment

Western Mountaineering is premium stuff - great bags.  One of these days I'll be able to afford one.  I have a Kelty Lightyear that's rated at 20 degrees but I wouldn't want it to get that cold so I use it as my summer bag, a Marmot Helium for spring/fall and a Northface Snowshoe rated at 0 but I think it's about the same as my Marmot.  It's synthetic so I use it when I might get wet.  Main issue is that it's like almost four pounds and doesn't compress well.

The next bag I get will probably be a Western Mountaineering or Feathered Friends in something around the -20 rating for those really cold winter nights like a November Montana hunt.

The North Face Orion 20 weighs in at 2lbs 8oz.  I was about to pull the trigger on this bag but decided to get down sleeping bag.  In any case check it out below.

Great deal on those bags, ryoshi - good find.  It looks like it comes with the pad and, if so, that's super cheap.

For sure!

I will be getting this bag from Cabelas. It is rectangle in shape for more sleeping freedom because I can't stand mummy bag's and the long version is 88" and still less than 3#. On sale for $170 and great reviews.

I picked this one up last weekend. It's 3lb, 1oz, so doesn't quite meet criteria, but pretty close.

The nice thing is I picked it up for about $85 thanks to being on a friend's Friends and Family list at Columbia.

I had a Kelty Lightyear bag.  It was really light, but nowhere close to a 30 degree bag.  I froze my butt off in it more than once.  I upgraded to a Marmot Sawtooth 15 degree bag.  I've slept out in it down to 10 degrees and was relatively comfortable.  I've found that one thing to watch for is wearing too many clothes and sweating in the bag.

Looking for a new sleeping bag, synthetic, 20 degree, 3 pounds or under? I was looking at the North Face cats meow but seen some mixed reviews any suggestions?

Stop your search and buy the cats meow.  I have had one for 5 years and it is a very solid and warm bag.
