I am starting to compile all the gear I will need this fall for my backpack hunt in Colorado. The one area I am stuck at currently is sleeping bag's.
To me it looks like you really need to go the down sleeping bag route to save on both weight and size in your pack. Is this a safe assumption?
After that I really don't want to buy a name brand sleeping bag, because I cannot justify to myself spending more than $200 on a sleeping bag. I think that basically brings me to amazon and bags more direct from manufacturer.
This is the bag I am leaning toward in the long variety with temp rating of zero:

Does that seem like a good option for backpacking to anyone else? I tried a 30 degree rated sleeping bag the other night while camping in my yard at 50 degree and I started to get chilled with my base layers on, so I thought I should get a colder than needed bag to be sure I won't freeze in October. Am I going to low with a zero degree bag? I plan to be in Colorado around 9500' in October hunting...
