I purchased this fine Mummy Bag to replace my worn out LL Bean Knife Edge Model and so far nothing but praise for this Bag from ALPS Mountaineering. Last Winter I actually used the Bag to it's 20 degree limit and I wasn't even cold! The Hollofil II Insulation works as well as the more expensive (and popular) Polarguard fills. I can't tell a difference! The Silver Springs fits me perfect and I really appreciate the wide (but not too wide to lose it's insulating capabilities) cut at the shoulders (34 inches in the long version) that fits my wide shoulders without the usual "cramping" I found in other Mummy Bags. My only complaint is the zipper that tends to get caught in the so-called "anti-snag" nylon stip that runs the full length of the zipper. Other than this, the Bag is perfect! My opinion is: why spend twice as much for those "big name" brand mummies when one can get a decent performing mummy bag from a reputable (but little known) Company from ALPS Mountaineering!
