Here's what other sites are saying:

From Campmor:
"The Kelty women's-specific Light Year down twenty degree sleeping bag is a lightweight, three-season bag with a hip-length zipper, that is designed for minimalists who don't carry any more weight than is necessary. Women's-specific design has additional insulation over the hood, chest, and foot and is shaped to fit a woman's contours. Insulation: 650-fill-power goose down. Box-baffle construction to prevent cold spots. Wave stitching to limit any unwanted side-to-side shifting of the down. Efficient, form-fitting hood. Top baffle collar. Insulated hood baffle. Hip-length, two-way locking zipper. Zipper draft tube with anti-snag design. Zippered foot vent. Internal liner loops. External snap loops allow bag to function as a liner. Sleeping pad security loops. Hang loops for storage. Micro FatMan and Ribbon drawcords. Micro captured cordlock. Ground-level side seams prevent heat from escaping. Differential cut to maximize loft and warmth. Ultralight compression stuff sack and storage sack included."

From Backcountry.com:
"If you often sleep with one foot stuck out of the covers for temperature control, you'll enjoy the zippered foot vent on Kelty's Light Year 20-Degree Down Sleeping Bag. The 650-fill goose down provides warmth on spring and fall trips, while the foot vent and hip-length, two-way locking zipper let cool air in on summer mountain trips. Surround your head with the Light Year mummy bag's form-fitting hood and enjoy a cozy night."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The Kelty Light Year 20 Degree Sleeping Bag is a lightweight, three-season bag with a hip-length zipper and zippered foot vent that is designed for minimalists who don't want to carry any more weight than is necessary."

From REI:
"There's no need to sacrifice your comfort to save weight with Kelty Light Year sleeping bag. Designed for women, with a narrow cut at the shoulders, more width at the hips and extra insulation in the footbox, hood and torso areas. Made with a durable polyester diamond ripstop shell and soft polyester microfiber lining. Quality 650-fill-power goose down is warm, lightweight and compressible. Differentiated drawcords allow quick identification, even in the dark! Pad loops provide attachment points to keep your sleeping bag and pad together (straps sold separately). Box baffle construction and wave stitching with differential cut eliminates cold spots; ground-level side seams prevent heat from escaping. Locking hip-length zipper saves weight and is backed by a draft tube to keep out the cold. Internal loops allow attachment of coordinating Kelty liner (not included); hang loops allow easy drying and storage. Nylon stuff sack and cotton storage bag included."

"This is a great bag. I like Kelty products because they tend to be very sturdy, this bag is no exception. Though it is fairly light the fabric feels strong and light while the down is lofty and compactable.

It is a warm bag with features like a thicker band of down near the neck and different shaped drawstrings so you can tell them apart in the dark."

"This is a great bag overall. I purchased last year's model from REI's outlet and it didn't show up so they gave me the current model.

This bag is very light, very compact, and very warm. It has a great feel. The ripstop fabric is extremely lightweight, relatively soft, and quiet when you move around in the bag."
