[QUOTE="Climber, post: 4300586, member: 17666"] I think it depends on what you define as the "best". For car camping, just about any summer rated bag with a few extra blankets will be fine. If you are going to think it may be used for backpacking and tent camping, I would pony up and get a solid bag. I have a 15yr old North Face 30 degree down bag that has kept me "comfortable" in 14 degree weather and has 100's of nights camped in it. Down is more expensive and slightly more problematic in wet and damp conditions but packs MUCH smaller and is also lighter. Synthetic will usually keep you warmer when wet but is heavier and bulkier. Decide what style of camping you will be doing long-term and find the bag that fits. [/QUOTE]
