Also, I debated the sleeping bag material too, but again, went for budget and still ended up w/ a very compressible bag that weighs 2lb5oz.
I'm still not getting why you would bungee the poles to your rack and carry the tent body separately. All of my tents have come as a nice neat package with the tent wrapped around the poles which is then all bungeed to the rack. I have other uses for handlebar bags than using that valuable space to carry a tent.
