Doesn't 3 pounds for a bag, synthetic or not, with a 35-40 degree F rating sound heavy and bulky? When I peruse my Backpacker magazine annual gear round up issue I have found many lighter than that by a pound or so. Check out Marmot or Northface. A syn bag in the 35 degree category usually comes in around 2 pounds and still around a hundred bucks. It might be a good idea to check out that annual issue to key in on what may be the best weight/temp cost value.
