Kelty Foraker 15* Down Bag

I know most everyone here is a diehard quilt lover, but like the idea of having a multi-purpose unit for sleeping just in case I need to go to the ground (gasp...). I just picked up a Long Kelty Foraker 15* 750 Down bag for $125 shipped from Sunny Sports. If anyone else is in the market for a bag, this seemed to be a great price.

It should go great with my Lost River (thanks again Paul, I used it this weekend to 38* and it was great).

I have had good luck with opening up my sleeping bag and using it as a quilt in my hammock. I'm sure I will convert to a TQ sometime...

I have been eyeing the same sleeping bag. Did you recieve it yet? If so any thoughts on it?

Just got a tracking number. Coming from New York (to Oregon), should be here late next week. I will post a brief review once it arrives.

any word on this bag yet? id really like to hear what you think of it:confused:

I did get the bag and I have had some limited time to spend in it. I love this bag. It is very warm (I would say pretty close to accurate, maybe 20* bag for me). It compresses nicely and comes with a storage bag and a compression bag. The compression bag is a little small and it takes some effort to get it in there.

I bought the long version (I am 6'8") and I fit fine in zipped up in there even though it lists it for 6'6". I have used it as a quilt and it does very well for me. The "footbox" comes up to the back of my calves and it is toasty warm.

I am a big fan of this bag and my father-in-law purchased one after seeing and laying in mine. Overall, for the price, I say you can't beat it (I got mine for $125 shipped).
