I'm leaning towards a feathered friends or western mountaineering and between the two I hope to never have to buy another one anytime soon.

I’ve used western mountaneering since the late 90s. They continue to be the pinnacle for down, face fabrics, longevity, bag shapes, continuous baffle design, and warmth.

My vote is for western mountaineering. It was painful for me to spend that much on a sleeping bag a handful of years ago but haven't had a cold night since so no regrets.
But once cry once, my WM badger is probably my overall favorite piece of gear, I get excited about going to bed and crawling into that thing when I’m out hunting.

If something happened to that bag, I’d have no reservations about ordering a new one immediately.

The sequoia is also a kick ass bag but too warm for what I do, I wish they made an equivalent in the 15-20 degree range.

Taigaworks.com might be worth it to check out. I don't have one but their baselayers are quality and the bags at a glance look decent

I personally have EE 3/4 quilt rated to 0 and have brought it well below comfortably.

For a down bag, I use Western Mountaineering. Feathered Friends and Enlightened Equipment are other good choices.

Hard to understand buying a non-US or Canada made bag as long as those companies exist.

If you want synthetic, go with a Kifaru Slick bag.

I run a WM antelope for later season and a Taiga works early season. If I had to buy another late season bag I’d 100% go Taiga. At half the price I find them on par with each other on quality. Might be worth a look if you’re looking to save a few bucks.
