Love meeting a fellow vegan!
No problem, nice to meet you as well. Check it out, it is a swell bag. They make a ton of great stuff though I will say their gloves could use some larger sizing.
I wish Arc'teryx made their Atom series as a top end sleeping bag. At my old work place it was basically part of the uniform because it was such an awesome jacket. Heck I think one of our employees had two or three different ones (a vest and two jackets LT and SV) or if Sea To Summit would put some synthetic bags on the market. They make some über light stuff using exploitation but talking to Barry (their rep and also Ask Boz) when he came by the shop I frequently mentioned they should go for a synth bag.
Surprised that you don't like sleeping pads, my back can't handle without it. That is why I love hammocks so much. Pads are also so crucial for insulating so maybe you could take a warmer weather bag.
