If there’s a comparably lighter one, I would like to hear it (for <$300).


Same here. The WM Pod 30 is my current and favorite bag. I removed the sleeping pad skirt and saved an ounce or two.

Ideal bag? Doesn't exist. What I want is a Pod 30 with a little bit of overfill (make it a Pod 25) and uses EPIC fabric as the shell. With these options, it would top out around 20 oz and I would be set for life.

P.S. Continuous baffles instead of sewn-threw box construction would be *awesome*.

peace.
