Hi
Since I'm late on this one ( next time I'll read the threasd al the way through first ) some food for thought on a great bag for glacier.

The Mountain Hardware Phantom 32 is definitley (IMHO) the all around rock on bag for 32 deg rating.
It's super light but not as delicate and fragile as the premium Feathered Friends and Western Mountaineering bags.
You can get a pretty good discount if you shop it,(232 @ Mossejaw right now)
I'm assumeing your looking at down (this has 800 fill). Weighs only 1.7 lbs...you have the skills to keep it dry.
I know it's not cheap but good down never is.
It's worth the bucks and you can pass it down the line.

I am late to the game also, but if you are going for a 32 degree bag and don't want the super care required for down, Mountain Hardware has the Ultra lamina 32. The thing weighs in at 2lb 2oz and is very tough. Just a thought if someone is looking for other ideas.

I opted for The Phantom (Mothers day 2010) based on the compressed size (smaller than a football). It has made a world of difference in my views of backpacking!
