Rectangular Sleeping bag

[King Bear]

Hi.
I'm looking for a good, large rectangular sleeping bag. This is going to be for canoe/car camping where comfort is paramount over pack size or weight. This will be used in the southeast US, temps rarely, if ever, get below the high 30s where this will be used.
I was looking at this Wiggy's model: Hunter Ultralight
Would this be a good choice? I know Wiggy's gets a lot of hype, but seem to have a top notch guarantee.

I'm not familure with that brand, but I sure do like the Rectanglare bags. Am looking at buying another one when I have the money. My old one I used durring scouts is at my moms. I'd like to have one here at college also.

Good luck with your search.

Might want to check out the Cabela's Outdoorsman II +20

It's 11 pounds, but if weight isn't an issue, it's about as big as my bedroom.

Check out Campmor.com, their Slumberjack bags are really great and a reasonable price. BassPro shops and Cabela's have good bags, too. I can't really make a more specific recommendation without knowing how big you are, the temps and comditions you will be in, etc. I do suggest you get a bag rated for a little lower temp. than you think you'll need. Your body produces much less heat while asleep than awake, and you may get too cold with a bag that keeps you warm while you're awake, but not when asleep.
Does that make sense? Hope this helps.

I have the Ultralight, Overbag, Desert and a poncho liner from them. All are great products. My desert bag is rated to 30 to 40 degrees and with a watch cap and a set of fleece bottoms/top, it is very comfortable in colder temps. It is also cut generously in a rectangular-like pattern.

I'm 5'10", 225#, and a hot sleeper.
This will be used primarily in the southeast US, lowest temps rarely get down to, and almost never drop below the high 30s. Humidity is a factor. Even if I don't sweat (primarily camp int he winter, in the summer I need no bag anyway), I don't want the bag to feel like I'm sleeping in a plastic bag.

The Desert is a +40 degree, yes? I suppose that's be enough, though I was looking at the +20 bags because they can always be vented if too warm.

I have a Wiggy's 40 degree bag. It works very well. I have been in weather in the 20's with that bag and have been very comfortable.
