I love winter camping and do so even in very cold conditions. This bag will keep you warm and comfortable. It also compresses/packs easily. I was having trouble with the zipper getting snagged which is a little annoying.

I used the sleeping back in northern Ontario during January. It was the perfect light bag for my winter snowshoe backpacking trip. The sleeping bag performed very well. It stayed dry and kept me warm in temps around 10f. There have been two problems. First, my sleeping bag won't unzip all the way to connect it to another bag. Maybe I screwed up the zipper, I don't really know. Second, one of the pieces of webbing on the compression sack is already beginning to rip off from the compression sack top.

 
So warm!
By AlexVerified Purchaser from New York on 12/27/2007
Pros:
Adjustable Hood, Extremly warm, Great Zipper System, Lightweight
Cons:
Absorbs Water
Best Uses:
Backpacking, Cold Conditions
Bottom Line:

-I went backpacking in the catskills with a club during November and I came back from a day hike freezing and went in my sleeping bag and I got so hot that I accutaly had to open the zipper to let cold air in.
-a few things that were bad was that it slips off closed cellfoam pads frequently and it absorbs water.

This bag is the best! It is only 4 pounds and compresses to an unbelievably small size. This bag is like bringing a heater on your trip with you. I have slept in conditions well below 20 degrees and have no problems. I pair it up with some down booties, primaloft pants, and a down jacket on the coldest of nights,do up the collar, pull the hood down over my face and sleep like a baby. On warmer nights that are over 20 degrees I can unzip the toe portion of the bag and not do up the collar and the bag vents perfectly! I really love this bag!

soft and warm
By zeusVerified Reviewer from pennsylvania on 10/5/2006
Pros:
Durable, Good Value, Useful 3 seasons
Cons:
Slides off sleeping pad
Best Uses:
Backpacking, Campinghiking

I like the softness and warmth. Didn't like the fact that it was difficult to remain in place on the sleeping pad. I found myself sliding both on the ground and on a cot. I'm working on an option for staying put...
