Hunter has told me that he has asked his mom for a sleeping bag for Christmas, and has asked me for suggestions. He has been using my Deuter Dreamlite bag which is rated to 50º, and admitted to me that he's been cold a couple nights that were down into the mid to low-60s, here in June and August. And I have seen him get cold easily at work.
So, I figure that I need to get him into a bag rated for the mid-30s and comfortable into the low-40s. Of course weight and price are rather important considerations too.
So far it seems that Marmot Nanowave 35 might be the best fit for him -- rei.com/product/880127/marmot-nanowave-35-sleeping-bag
While the Kelty Dualist 34 -- rei.com/product/880601/kelty-dualist-34-sleeping-bag
And
The North Face Aluetian 35 -- rei.com/product/864447/the-nor…-aleutian-35-sleeping-bag
Each are also potential options for him. Each bag is right around 2.25 lbs, rated for mid-30s and comfortable in the low-40s, while priced at or below $100. Thoughts?
They each sure seem to be the best balance of performance, weight and cost for a late spring to early fall bag.

Of course I talk to myself... sometimes I need expert advice.
