Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Despite its name, The Big Agnes Horse Thief Sleeping Bag has all the features of a luxury sack. Big Agnes included an integrated pad sleeve so you never roll off you mat again, interior loops to secure a liner on extra cold nights, and a built in pocket for a fleece or pillow. The mummy shape increase the bag insulation performance and decreases packed volume and weight."

From CampSaver.com:
"FREE! Air Core Pillow With the purchase of Designed for todays light and fast back country crowd the 1lb 11oz Horse Theif by Big Agnes is crazy light.Cut the corners off a closed cell foam pad and your bag and pad will weigh less than 2 lbs.The Horse Theif is filled with 800 fill goose down and .Free shipping!"

From Backcountry Outlet:
"Big Agnes designed the Horse Thief Down Sleeping Bag to be an economical choice for the light and fast backcountry crowd. Big Agnes made this water-resistant sleeping bag without insulation on the bottom of the bag because down compressed by your weight loses virtually all of its insulating value. Instead, Big Agnes put a sleeve in the Horse Thief's floor into which you slide your sleeping pad. This system provides more warmth than compressed insulation and reduces the overall weight of the bag; and you won't roll off your sleeping pad in the middle of the night. Compatible with Big Agnes 20-inch wide mummy sleep pads."

From EMS:
"The Horse Thief is a 35? sleeping bag that can also be combined with another mummy bag to create a super-warm winter bag. Use this goose down sleeping bag on its own in summer, or combine it with another in winter. Now that's versatile! Combining the Big Agnes Horse Thief with another sleeping bag creates a versatile layering system for use in all seasons and temperature ranges. Horse Thief adds 25 of warmth when combined with another bag. An overbag system weighs less and packs smaller than many winter bags; it's easier to pack two small bags than one bag. Over bags reduce costs by eliminating the need for a winter bag that you might not use that often. 725 fill goose down insulation. Shell, lining, and pad sleeve made of nylon microfiber ripstop that is tightly woven, water resistant and windproof. Water resistant treatment on shell surface. Integrated pad sleeve. Never roll off your pad again. Mummy shape decreases weight & packed size. Cotton storage sack & nylon stuff sack included. Built in pillow pocket holds a fleece or Big Agnes Pillow (sold separately). Interior fabric loops for sleeping bag liners. 60 inch YKK #8 zipper. Because Big Agnes sleeping bags are not insulated on their underside, it is essential that it be used with a sleeping pad."

"I originally purchased this bag with the insulated-air core pad for the affordable savings in weight. For the money, there's no seeping-pad / bag combo out there that hits my sweet-spot for comfort, warmth, weight and price. The bag and pad together weigh under 3 lbs and I spent around $250."

"Not for me this.

I spent three nights with the Horse Thief and mummy sleep mat combo and didn’t have a good night’s sleep once.

There has been a lot said and written about the Big Agnes system, which in theory seems a winner. However, I found myself cocooned in the bag and any movement caused the whole thing, mat included, to tilt off the deck with me."

"This is a nice comfortable bag. If you are larger than 5' 10" and weigh more than 200 lbs. it may be too small for you. It was perfect for temperatures in the 50s so the 35 degree rating may be optimistic. Light and packs small."
