This is a great bag from ALPS Mountaineering that I bought about 3-4 years ago and I still use. The fill is Holo Fill II, which compresses well, wicks away moisture, and is nice and warm. The bag is made of a durable Tafetta with YKK #8 dual venting zippers (internal and external pull tabs) which rarely jam. There is a pocket on the top which is handy for glasses or a travel alarm. The mummy hood is a nice size and the drawstring divider keeps warm air inside. I find that the foot section tends to get chilli in cold weather though.

It comes with a 200d Oxford compression sack that is nicely designed. Instead of pulling on the side of the sack, the compression straps go all the way around the top of the sack, putting no stress on stitching. However I wish they would throw in the nice packcloth bags.

Overall a great bag for moderate temperatures. Great durability and value. It is one of my most versatile bags.
