Err...

your problem is?

Primaloft is a great synthetic insulator and now is in a form suitable for sleeping bags?

If you were to be the market for a sleeping bag your choices just got larger?

A quick search brings TNF are bringout a such sleeping ags so you may defer such a purchase?

regarding the yarn...another warm wicking base layer choice?

etc etc

Ah..see where you are coming from now...

Think you will find a debate on here regarding Primaloft insulation and its longevity - seems to be mixed opinions but with a concensus is that it isnt very long (whether that is any worse than other fibres, I have no opinion because I havent seen any evidence one way or the other)

What will be more interesting is if one of the mainstream outdoor brands pick it up (TNF is very much premium/fashion lead IMHO) - RAB/ME for instance.

To be honest, there are so many  alternatives (remember merino...best thing since sliced bread, except if its wet...or bamboo, last seen in TK Max) that unless it is a real step up, it'll just become a me too product or worse (GSB crampons)

ooooh...I sound awfully cynical.
