Gear Bag

What is the difference between a $50 Swiss Gear sleeping bag and a $300 North Face?

I am looking for a cold weather sleeping bag and it seems like my options are either over $200 for most brands, or if I choose a brand like High Peak, Swiss Gear, Slumberjack or even Kelty, I can pay $60 for the same temperature rating. Is it really worth all the extra money? I am planning on taking on the Appalachian Trail with me, so I need a good bag, but they seem to be made of the same thing with most of the same components. Thank you!

Have you compared the weight? Most expensive bags are far lighter in weight, making them better for long hikes.
It’s been my experience that the companies making the cheaper bags also lie about the temp rating. Sure, a $60 zero degree bag might keep you alive at zero degrees, but you might be too cold to sleep.
