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. F. Anything above about 45 and you have to open it or it'll be too warm. I HATE getting outta this bag in the morning since its so damn comfortable and cozy! The Gossamer fabric is so pleasant to the touch that you just wanna lie there and enjoy the comfort like you would in awarm bed on a nice winter's day!

All in all, the finest sleeping bag I have ever owned in terms of design, contruction, materials and performance. It also compresses fantastically small and is easy to pack into the bag compartment of my Astralplane. It BLOWS AWAY the TNF down and synthetic bags that I have bought in the past (though my dog loves her Blue Kazoo!) and its Marmot for me from now on. BUY ONE NOW!
