"When deciding on a new bag my main criterion were temp rating based on actual reviews, compressed size, and weight. The Primaloft Infinity allows this bag to compress pretty small for a 20 degree in the non compression (but fleece lined)sack supplied."

"The quality of the bag is great, but I was dissapointed in the temperature rating. The temperature was in the upper 30s, and I still had to put on sweatpants, a T-shirt, and a sweatshirt. I was still a little cool even with that."

"This is a great bag. Now that Polarguard has given in to its legal arguments, EMS and others are allowed to use Polarguard 3D in their bags. This design outperforms most others -- especially in the $130 range.

It has only the amount of bells and whistles that a bag needs: a full length draft collar down the zipper, a draft collar under the hood, and a no-catch zipper."
