    Need help with a new sleeping bag

    Hi , this may be one too many suggestions but I have loved my 723gm regular length (good for up to 6feet, I think) REI Helio down sleeping bag. It is very adjustable with feet out, arms out, etc. if wanted, and one can walk around in it. It costs $135, much cheaper than the lighter sea to summit...

    What's the problem here?

    Carrying valuables

    That is what I found also. Easy to have the card, money, passport and electronics always on me. Mine was the right size for a very lightweight dry pack that lived in the same place and was used, if needed, in the shower (if I could not hang it far enough away from the water).

    bras

    I never thought of even trying it. Did so today (at home) and was shocked how easy it is. No effort, no wiggling and I am neither thin nor slim-hipped. Wished I had known that last year, but better late than never. Thank you.
