I have two of Campmor's house brand bags. (One 10* and -10*). They are mummy
bags, and VERY mummy. No leg room at all. They are very warm and compress VERY
nicely and weigh very  little. I'm not sure if they make a semi-rectangle bag
or not. If so, I'd recommend them based on how much I like their other bags.
(BTW, after a few months on the Trail, you can sleep with your body wrapped in
ducttape. It is very painful removing it the next morning, but you can still
sleep.)
