From CampSaver.com:
"The Kelty Light Year 15 Sleeping Bag is a bag that will perform at colder temperatures like more expensive bags but wont break the bank.A draft tube keeps the cold out behind the zipper and sleeping pad security loops will keep you solid on your pad.The Light Year packs down to a compact size in its stuff sack included allowing you to use the space in your pack for other gear.At 15 degrees, this warm sleeper will pretty much take care of any trip from spring to fall with the light winter outing not out of the question.At this price, you wont find a better price for a bag at this rating and quality."

From Campmor:

Chevron slant baffle construction. Hip-length zipper draft tube. Hip-length, two-way locking zipper. Ground-level side seams. Differential cut. FatMan and Ribbon drawcords. Sleeping pad security loops. Internal liner loops. Snap loops. Hang loops. Captured cordlock. Polyester oxford stuff sack and cotton storage sack included. Right zip only."

From Backcountry.com:
"A Kelty Light Year 15 Degree Down Sleeping Bag weighs in at just under three pounds. Kelty eliminates unnecessary weight while including the technical features that make this bag ideal for cold weather backpacking. The hip-length zipper and zippered foot vent let you control temperature on hot summer nights. Any one interested in a value packed down bag should check out the Kelty Light Year."

From REI:
"Chevron slant baffle construction with differential cut eliminates cold spots; ground-level side seams prevent heat from escaping. Differentiated drawcords allow quick identification, even in the dark so neck or hood adjustments are a cinch! Internal loops allow attachment of coordinating Kelty Liner (sold separately); hang loops allow easy drying and storage. Locking hip-length zipper saves weight and is backed by a draft tube to keep out the cold. Made with a durable diamond polyester ripstop shell and soft polyester taffeta lining. Named a ''Bargain'' by the '06 Backpacker Magazine Gear Guide, the Light Year features quality goose down for less weight, more comfort. Nylon stuff sack and cotton storage bag included. Pad loops provide attachment points to keep your sleeping bag and pad together to avoid rolling off onto the cold ground (straps sold separately). Prime 650-fill-power goose down is warm, lightweight and compressible."

"This is my first down bag, and overall it is a great bag for the price. It's comfortable, warm, and packs down really small with a compression sack. I didn't give it five stars only because there are some cold spots, but I hear it's common with goose down."
