"I've used the bag a few times but never below 40F. It's comfortable and has kept me warm. However, because I am a cold sleeper I will probably never use it for winter camping. I have a mountain hardware ramses w/ stormlight that seems warmer.

On the down side, expect for this bag to lose down."

"I have a love/hate relationship with this bag. I LOVE its construction, its advanced and very high quality materials, its generous cut (I'm 6'5" and weigh about 275 and this thing is cavernous even for me) and its warmth and coziness. Though I haven't tried it in true winter conditions yet, its has kept me toasty warm at 40 deg."

"Excellent cold weather bag. Great loft for very little weight. The shell material is very light weight, so if you intend to use the bag in wet conditions I suggest looking into the Dryloft version. If you like to stay dry (i.e. not climb in the cascades) then you can't go wrong with this bag."

"A nice bag, I have tested on summit of mt Lac des cygnes, 3200 fts and -15 c with wind at 60 kmh

The dry loft is really a must on mountaineering bag.

Great Marmot"
