I have been using this bag for the last 2-3 years exclusively for camping (tad too heavy for backpacking). I'ts great for its price.

Pros: It keeps you warm extremely well in 25 degree range. I had enough room in the bag: I am 5'11" and 165 lbs. The sewing and fabric are hardy. It packs to a decent size.

Cons: I just got back from the San Juan and Sangre de Christo mountains: the lows were between 10 and 20 degrees and the bag doesn't hold up at all in that range. The contoured hood tends to slip off very easily letting cold air into the bag.

Summary: This is a great three-season bag, but do not take it out in the winter.
