Thanks for the info. I guess the Western Mountaineering bags are expensive.

Took a North Face Cat's Meow on my backpacking trip this summer and loved it. |
I saw the bags on REI Outlet and that's why I decided to post this question. I saw they had some cheaper ones and I did see one Marmot for a reasonable price. I'm always afraid of buying cheaper brand names on things like this. But REI does have a good return policy.
