[at-l] summer bag thoughts

[kahley7@ptd.net (kahley7)]

I have a 30 degree LLBean and judging only on that basis.....
my bag is not nor has ever been a 30 degree for me.,,,more like 35+
  Of course that didn't stop me from using it in 20 degrees with
modifications. It's held it's loft well for three years....just wasn't enough to start with.
There is no stiffener along the zipper.....
now THAT is a royal pain in the butt!!  
I'd triple check any bean bag's zipper for it's tendency to grab ahold as you try and exit.

And I'd look at campmor and check their zippers.....

But anybag I buy in the future will have some sort of treatment on the outer shell.
Will not buy plain nylon again..........
