Excellent warm weather bag. Used it last year on a 6-night Boundary Waters trip and used it this weekend when night time temps were in the lower 50s. Stayed toasty warm all night. It stuffs down to about the size of a regulation football (of course not pointed at the ends). One problem for folks with weak hand muscles or arthritis is getting it back in the stuff sack. It can be done but it's like stuffing 3 lbs. of sausage into a 2 lb. casing. Overall, I recommend it highly.
