I just upgraded my sleeping bag to a BA Lost Ranger, and combined with the BA air core mattress it is truly a dream setup. Never been so comfortable in the backcountry! Now I just need to send the mattress in to get that slow leak fixed that I can't find. I've had the thing for three years and finally have developed that slow leak, it's not too bad, but I find myself waking up in the middle of the night to give it a few puffs.
