Thats insane! I would never pay that much for a sleeping bag, no matter how good it is.

Insane is right. Im going to have to look for a sale in the summer.
I would settle for a - 25 or -30 good enufe. After all, here it never gets really cold winters.
But at night its nice to have that extra warmth.

I bought a pretty decent one from REI some time ago. Think of getting one thats a little bit wider though.

I have two old "Woods" sleeping bags. Not sure of the modle numbers of them but one is -1 C rated and the other is -10C. I normally just use the -1 rated one, and in most cases it is unzipped to keep it cool inside. When camping, even in the summer, i find the ony part of me that gets cold is my head; which makes sence. Both of mine are open top rectangular bags. I have never owned a mummy bag but my next sleeping bag will be one.

I went to wearing a balaclava and keeping my head out of the bag. Worked nicely for me.

i have an old mummy bag that i have been using for year that my dad gave me its soooo warm i dont remember who makes it though

I got a mummy sleeping bag and a flannel summer one. THe flannel one is great, small, light weight, I use it every summer its just great.

The mummy one I THOUGHT was good, is actually really brutal to sleep in. Unlike all the sleeping bags I've ever had the inside is just nylon, and you start to sweat inside and its brutal. After a couple of minutes your all soaked. I really lie when there is a cotton lair of some sort or else its torture.

We originally bought a couple of disposable non woven liners for our good bags. They were ok, but we since went to taking a flannel flat sheet with us to use as a liner. We have -25F bags that zip together. It also makes a huge difference when you have someone to sleep with. It warms the bag up in all sorts of novel ways.

Seriously, my body temperature runs hotter than the wife's. If I climb in first usually I have the whole sleep system warmed up when she crawls in. The physics of the situation are that you have doubled the heat engine without doubling the surface area, if you sleep close together. You save the radiative surface where the two bodies contact.

Thats totally true, I remmeber a situation where I was with one of my friends back in the highschool days. She and I had a free period as well as a few other people and we would all hang out in the atrium. One day the heating in the school went down so it was pretty cold. We just simply leaning on each other and it was surprising warm. She said I was like a radiant heater lol

I'm thinking our bags are Peak 1 Colemans but until I get another look at them I'm not sure. We have slept in them at -60 F windchill and they were comfortable. I think the actual temp was -26 F but the wind was gusting to 45 mph.

I have a Lafuma 650 fill down mummy bag rated to 37*its quite light and packable yet I find that if temp dips much below 45*it isnt quite enough . My colemen qualofill mummy is rated to 20* and has kept me warm at around 0* if I wear a hat and long underwear in it . and I am very partial to my wool blanket as it is usually good enough alone and really helps the bags as far as makin them warmer I like down myself but if it gets wet your screwed .
