i bought a north face gold kazoo from backcountry.com a few years ago.
its a 650 fill down bag which is not as high as corolla's, but his is a 0F bag, mine is a 0C bag. i dont know why you'd want a 0F bag unless its strictly for winter camping in alpine conditions, but hey some people like to be extremely warm i guess? mine is 2lbs and cost me about $150 at the time, now with the bad exchange it could be around $200. still a steal and packs down pretty small!

if you're ok with a quilt style bag thats more minimal, thats pretty popular these days as well, but if you're doing half car camping half backpacking in the warmer months, a 0C down bag around 2lbs is about what you can expect for around $200. its a good in between, and if you're doing car camping in the colder months, you can always bring a liner to get an extra 5-10 degrees of warmth.
