kifaru sleeping bags

[fillthefreezer]

does anyone use or have tried a kifaru sleeping bag, if so, what do you think?

price seems comparable to most of the REI sold bags but the specs seem awesome...

has no one really tried these?
is there a downside that im missing?

The reg 20 degree bag is $300. you can get a cats meow for $120. kifaru makes awesome gear but your avg hunter is gonna be hard pressed these days to spring for a bag that costs that much and isnt that much different.

similarbgs ive looked at as far as temp rating and price are around a pound heavier.
a 20deg 2lb bag for $300 seems like a deal compared to most other brands ive seen.
are there other bags that fit this bill im missing?

I have used the cats meow for about 6 years in all kinds of weather and it has been great.  I would say that the $150-$180 is not worth trimming less than a pound.

I have the 20* bag and have zero complaints.  It is good down to 20, and personally I would take it into the teens...  I pack it into an 11 liter (Small) Sea to summit compression sack.  It packs extrememly small.
