This bag is well thought out overall; I never leave on a camping trip without it. I have taken it on trips in temperatures below the rating and been fine. However, I am a hot natured sleeper and was wearing long underwear at the time.

The positives are very obvious. The temperature capability is very versatile; I can take it on trips that I really should use a summer bag on and not be entirely uncomfortable. On the other hand, cold nights are not miserable either.

The only complaint I have against it is that it has no hood, which can be very useful on occasion. I get along fine without it, though, and am very satisfied with the overall performance.

The bag is very compressible, and fits into the provided stuff very easily. I have not tried it in a compression sack as of yet. I take it on short backpacking trips on a regular basis, and it serves me well.

Bottom line: Get the bag. You'll be glad you did.
