Bang for buck sleeping bag

[paxton coyote]

 Can anyone recommend the most bang for the buck sleeping bag for around $150 or less, on a budget as I'm working on sending my oldest daughter overseas for an exchange student for a year. Any comments on the Campmor down bags? I'd love to have one in the 20-30 temp range as I already own a 40 degree Slumberjack for warmer weather (used it on 2 RAGBRAI tours thus far, one self-supported)

 I'll probably have to settle for synthetic which is fine with me, just looking for one for cooler temps that still packs small, I will however need a big one as I'm 6' 5" & a Clysdale!

Normally you wouldn't be able to get a down bag in your stated price range, but this one gets pretty close:
$177.55 includes free shipping.

I don't have personal experience with this bag, but its probably just fine.  You might want to compare the stated girth measurement with whatever you already have... unzip the bag all the way and measure at shoulder height zipper to zipper.  I'm a clyde too.

 thanks, I'll check it out. I got the new Campmor catalog & they have a 20 degree long mummy down bag for $129.99, stuffs to 7"x14" & weighs 2 lbs. 6 oz. wonder if it's alright, I'm aware of the old saying "get what you paid for" so a little nervous about it, probably won't be out much below the mid 30's temp range.

I had good luck with a eureka bag before http://www.eurekatent.com/ I live in the north west where it rains a lot, so no feathers for me.  I tried a mt hardware feather bag, was not pleased. Eureka seems ok for a budget bag

I know a guy who custom makes quilts and it's all ultra light for bikepacking/backpacking.  I bet he could make something in your price range.  PM me if interested.

I am a clyde, (wide not tall) and have the Campmor 20 degree rectangle bag. Great bag and very durable. I have about 300 nights on it and consider it a value. Associates have the mummy with the same results. The only was to get a "better" bag for the price is to make one using 700-800 fill down.
Good Luck
