Here's what other sites are saying:

From Campmor:
"The Big Agnes Encampment sleeping bag offers warmth to 15 degrees and protection from moisture with Climashield HL continuous-filament insulation. The Encampment is the most popular bag in Big Agnes' line and includes the company's popular integrated pad sleeve system, synthetic insulation and room to move around at night. The Big Agnes System is different than the traditional sleeping bag on top of a sleeping pad. Instead, they unite the two. With Big Agnes, the pad slides into an integrated sleeve on the bottom of the bag, and the top two-thirds of the bag is insulated in the traditional style. When insulation material is compressed under your body, it loses most of its ability to insulate. They eliminate the unnecessary bottom insulation and replace it with a sleeve to accommodate the pad which provides the insulation. Features: Integrated pad sleeve. Never roll off your pad again Rectangular shape offers more room in foot box and shoulders Shell: Nylon rip-stop. WR surface treatment to repel water Lining: Soft, breathable nylon with stain resistant finish. Pad sleeve: Nylon rip-stop. WR surface treatment to repel water. 70 in. YKK #8 zipper. Mate together our left and right zip bags with same size zipper No-draft collar seals around neck to keep cold air from sneaking in No-draft wedge insulates the connection between the bag and pad No-draft zipper tube insulates along the length of the zipper Requires a 20 in. wide rectangular pad (sold separately) A-Flex: A synthetic construction technique which combines layers of 'flexed' insulation with smaller 'anchor' pieces to connect them. The 'flexed' layers increase loft and trapped air space and the 'anchors' maximize heat containment by eliminating gaps and creating more air pockets. Built in pillow pocket holds a fleece or Big Agnes pillow Interior fabric loops for sleeping bag liners Cotton storage sack & nylon stuff sack included"

From Backcountry.com:
"The Big Agnes Encampment 15F Sleeping Bag features Climashield HL synthetic insulation to warm you from spring to fall. The Encampment's high-loft insulation surrounded by a water-repellent shell is ideal for damp climates and conditions. Big Agnes put a sleeve in the Encampment's floor into which you slide your sleeping pad. This system not only provides insulation from the cold ground, it prevents you from rolling off your sleeping pad in the middle of the night. Use with any of Big Agnes' 20-inch rectangular sleep pads."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Spend a night with Big Agnes and you'll look forward to sleeping in the backcountry. The men's Big Agnes Encampment 15 Degree Sleeping Bag System is different than the traditional sleeping bag on top of a sleeping pad. Instead, Big Agnes unites the two. The pad (not included) slides into an integrated sleeve on the bottom of the bag, and the top two-thirds of the bag is insulated in the traditional style. When insulation material is compressed under your body, it loses most of its ability to insulate. Big A. eliminates the unnecessary bottom insulation and replace it with a sleeve to accommodate the pad which provides the insulation. This design provides a secure foundation and keeps you on the pad all night. With Climashield HL insulation, this rectangular shape design offers more room in foot box and shoulders."

"This bag rocks! Straight up - but it's probably best suited for normal use by bigger people or people who like a lot of space to spread out when thy are sleeping. Reason being this the bag is large, providing loads of space to roll around with out taking the bag with you."

"Well to be honest I was reluctant on the purchase seeing some of the reviews they tended to be 50/50 so I gave the bag a try. In my Honest opinion I would stay away from this particular bag. The temp rating is way off. I was out overnight with temp of 41 degrees and was uncomfortable."

"this bag has served me well for 5 years. it is always good enough to get me to the end of the trip, but rarely feeling happy about every aspect of the bag.

the biggest plus is the room, i get a little claustrophobic in tight bags. and if you get a warm pad it's not that cold."

"If you're a bigger guy like me; 5'8" and weigh 265 lbs, you need a sleeping bag that has a wide girth. And this bag has that feature and then some! Received bag as birthday present prior to trip to Zion Nat. Park back at end of March. The temp was 19 degrees every night and this bag was great."
