"I bought this bag because I wanted a cheap synthetic bag for car camping and heavy abuse. I've owned many very pricey down bags which I use backpacking and climbing, but didn't want to subject to the tortures of car camping: bonfires, muddy dogs, etc."

"I love this sleeping bag. It's got a real quality feel and it's very soft and cozy. It doesn't get that cold here in Texas, but it gets windy and stormy. It kept me warm on a 50 or so degree windy night with lots of wind blowing through the tent."

"Good bag..it will keep you warm. There is a downside, it is a little heavy and larger than you may want. I used on one trip and it go a little damp, but if able to air out, it can dry off quickly. Overall for price good bag, but if you search, you may be able to find a lighter and smaller bag for 10 bucks more. Probably worth the 10 extra dollars."

"I recently bought the Kelty Mistral. I have got a chance to use it while backpacking in Grason Highlands, Va. It got down to about 25+- degrees w/windchill. I was plenty warm until my cheap #*&@ tent blew down on me. It got plenty wet, but dried out in the morning while I was hiking."
