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. Used to be if you wanted something this light, you'd have to pay a mint for something potentially flaky. So for me, this is a bargain.

I love down bags, and the bag is lightweight and warm--so far down to 45f. I find the quality of the bag excellent too. It feels very sturdy, the material is very comfortable and the workmanship is top-notch. I love the way it mates with the the insulated air core pad, so it's hard to roll off of the mat.

There are always trade-offs, and for me, this combo hits the sweet spot of comfort, warmth, weight and price. For my money, nothing else compares.
