Great advice there!

When I was working at an outdoors shop and selling sleeping bags, I would always tell the men who came in to buy what they wanted for themselves and then a warmer bag for your wife! When she's out crying about cold toes all bloody night, you'll be wishing you paid the extra $300 for her bag..

I special ordered a bag through H&F about six years ago now; it sure does the business. Comfort to -30degrees, cost me a little over a grand. Money well spent.
