It's funny to read these reviews, since everyone seems to have only good things to say about their purchases. Perhaps people don't want to admit that they've been suckered after spending $500+ on a piece of gear, but I'm going to describe my experiences with this bag exactly as I see them. Overall, I am not happy with my purchase and I would not buy something from FF again. Here's why:
- it took twice as long to build as they promised
- a button on the collar tab broke the first time I tried it
- it has a number of loose threads and shoddy-looking stitches
- it looked kind of "deflated" as soon as I got it, even after shaking the down around to spread it out throughout the bag
I normally wouldn't make too big a deal out of these things, but this bag is the most expensive piece of gear I've ever bought, and I expected better from a company with a good reputation like FF.
My biggest complaint with this bag is that is simply not warm. I've been cold at +15 F with it, despite wearing several layers of long underwear, a hat, fleece, and the liners from my boots. I'm a cold sleeper, but that is just unacceptable to me. I'm planning on selling this bag and getting a Western Mountaineering Big Horn instead.
