It is well made, roomy, extremely lightweight, and highly compressible--all great features. But at 50 degrees (measured by a thermometer 8" above the tent floor, and with all windows zipped up), I had to add a fleece bag inside -- And still got up in the night to put on more clothes. It is being returned: I call it a 70 degree bag. I called the company (nice folks, willing to make things right for me) and they suggested that I had an incorrectly sized pad. This may be, but I still do not feel that this makes up enough difference for me to justify keeping it.
