Just got back from a survival training clinic (for a wilderness medicine program). I spent three nights, one in a tent and two in a makeshift shelter built out of leafs and evergreen branches. It drizzled nearly the entire trip. The kind of drizzle that seems to be only miniscule until suddenly you realize that everything you have is soaked, the inside of my jacket pockets were wet from the moisture in the air. The average temperature at night was between 25 and 30 degrees. I slept comfortably every night in my underwear, and had to shake the moisture off of the bag in the morning before packing it.

My first impression was there was no way it would live up to its 20 degree rating mainly because of how thin it seemed, I was wrong. This is my first down bag, I am converted. I worried a little about moisture, but as mentioned before the shell performed flawlessly. It packs down in the provided compression sack beautifully and regains full loft quickly when unpacked. I got a great deal on it and would have paid the retail price after seeing its performance.
