When EMS was closing Michigan stores I bought this bag on final clearance. Glad I did.

Strengths - Pertex shell - The shell is light weight, sheds light - moderate condensation well, and retains down. It has proven more durable than it looks or feels.

Loft/packed size - The down lofts up quickly after packing down to the small size of the compression sack included. Actually you can minimize the size and still feel you have more compression available than the straps allow. For a zero degree bag you will have a smaller package than a synthetic 20' bag

Cut - My favorite feature of the bag is the cut, it is nicely contoured. Snug in the legs but not tight. Enough wiggle room for arms inside without extra space that saps heat when pushing its limits.

Value - even at its full price it is a good value

Zipper - I need a full length zipper for venting in milder weather when you take a zero degree bag to be sure of sleeping warm

Draft collar - is nicely constructed and adjustable. It can be secured nicely on your colder nights to keep of chilling air. On warmer nights the cinch cord can get in the way.

Opportunities - As with all down bags, insulation underneath must come from your pad as your body weight compresses the down to a thin, cold layer. Use a good pad.

Zipper snag tube/ draft tube - its stiffening fabric still gets some zipper snags on occasion.
