Not bad in my book.  My bag weighs 3 pounds too.  It was the lightest 
synthetic I could find for a guy my size.  How big are you?  One 
unfortunate part of being a big guy is that I need big gear which 
translates to being hard to go light.  One thing that I've noticed is 
missing in discussions of light gear is hiker size.  If you are 5'6", weigh 
110# you can get some really light sleeping bags and live in a really small 
tent.  It's not so easy when you are 6' or more and weigh 250+.
