[at-l] 2 Gear Questions

[lubitz@alpha.fdu.edu (Richard S. Lubitz)]

My bag which is a campmor brand has two ratings, (40 & 25 if I remember).  
the two halves are of different density and you put whichever on top that 
you need.  Theory is that whatever is on bottom doesn't matter since it is 
compressed by your body weight.  I don't remember wether the purple or the 
teal is the warmer one but the bag ususlly rotates with me anyway.
