<p>Out of all the equipment that I have been looking at in order to get started backpacking the sleeping bag is the one that I have been completely blown away by prices. I just would never expect something that is serving as a blanket, to have things that are considered normal consumer products that are $400+.</p> <p>Is it realistic to expect to pay $100 or less for a sleeping bag that will keep me warm enough for camping in places such as the U.S. Midwest, Yellowstone, etc. in the spring-fall seasons?</p> <p>I have seen bags that are cheaper but they don't seem to be geared towards backpacking (maybe not necessarily a bad thing). The only thing that worries me about these bags are their pack-down size. I am not really sure what a normal size of a sleeping bag is once in it's stuff sack ... it would be helpful to have a range.</p> <p>More info: The pack it needs to fit into: Osprey Volt 60</p>
