We are looking for sleeping bags to use in our Westy to replace older very
bulky ones.  As there are many out there to choose from I would like the
opinions of Listees who use them this way.

 We are looking for bags that are good from say 30 degrees and up,
lightweight, roomey, NOT mummy style, has to roll up relitively small and be
able to fit into fairly small stuff sack say about 13" X 22" or thereabouts.
Would prefer cotton inside, must be washable and long enough for 6' person,
and can unzip flat. Needless to say, we don't want to spend a lot of money
on them but not shopping price either.

I have had several types over the years but the most recent Coleman ones
don't fill the bill, too bulky and don't breath don't roll well.

TIA for your thoughts on this...
