This bag is very light, packs to nothing, features a half-zipper for weight savings, and a great, velcro-free hood system that just makes sense. I've used it several times since I purchased it a few months back. Most recently I spent a 12 degree (F) night and stayed toasty (albeit i doubt it was 12 in the tent) even in just a tshirt, polypro, and liner socks. I am not a warm sleeper and have been very pleased with this bag so far. The DWR is great, and at my size (5'9", 165lbs) the bag is quite roomy for an ultralight bag. Oh, and the draft tube at the zipper is stiffened. The result: I can't make the zipper snag on the draft tube... even when I try!!
