From Backcountry.com:
"The Kelty Lightyear 3D sleeping bag is an easy-care synthetic bag that's perfect for wetter climates. The Lightyear 3D uses two-layer, offset quilt construction to help trap heat more efficiently and ensure uniform coverage of insulation. Polarguard 3D is not too heavy, packs well, and retains most of its heat even when soaked through. A draft tube runs the entire length of the Lightyear's zipper. In a particularly clever move, Kelty put the Lightyear's side seams at ground level, which means the seams aren't sitting against your body. Loops to tie on a sleeping pad and a zippered foot vent let you get maximum comfort and therefore maximum sleep out of your Lightyear."

"Bought this bag at Dick's on sale. Have used it 20+ times and am nuts about it. It's my first mummy bag, which I thought would be rough getting used to. Not at all, when those temperatures dip, it's been great.

Note that I have used it in 48-68 degree temperatures. It may be too warm for summer. Time will tell."
