I'm slowly upgrading gear and its time for a new bag. I'm currently using a north face alutian 20 that was a gift a couple years ago, which initially was used for basic camping, not backpacking. It doesn't compress well, seems quite heavy and a little too tight by the feet. I recently found a great deal locally on a chinook wildfire, both the 32* and 20*. They look a little more roomy, and the 32 long weighs 2.5lbs, and the 20 a pound or so more. At 6'2 I prefer a long bag. I plan on doing some later season trips this year. I mainly hike in the Whites in NH and the ADK's in NY as I grew up there. Any experience on these? Both selling for <100. What temp rating do you prefer for fall hiking?
