Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"Save 30%-60% at REI-Outlet.com! Anti-snag construction prevents fabric from catching in the two-way zipper; locking sliders keep the zipper in place for customized ventilation. Closeout. Comes with cotton storage sack and stuff sack. Gain a new dimension of comfort and versatility--this 30 women's bag has an expandable draft tube that lets you adjust fit and heat retention. Improved contoured hood with a shaped Face Gasket comfortably seals around your face to keep warm air in and cold air out. Insulated full-length draft tube and insulated zipper gusset at bottom of zipper all seal in heat. Performance-cut mummy shape saves weight by reducing girth at shoulders, hips and lower legs; expandable draft tube widens or slims the bag as needed. Polarguard Delta insulation is 10-15% lighter for the same loft as Polarguard 3D, making it a reliable, efficient insulation. Sloping trapezoidal foot box keeps your feet from being scrunched and allows insulation to loft fully for maximum warmth and comfort. Warmth is optimized through differential cut of shell and lining fabrics, allowing adequate room for the insulation to expand to its full loft."

From Backcountry.com:
"The Mountain Hardwear 1st Dimension sleeping bag is a great all-around bag for backpacking, camping, and traveling."

From EMS:
"The expandable draft tube gives you the option of adding another 8 inches to the sleeping bag's girth. When it is warm outside, you leave the sleeping bag expanded. When the temperature drops, you simply reduce the bag's girth by zipping up the draft tube. Polarguard Delta insulation approaches goose down in feel and has the moisture-shunning qualities that down lacks. Insulation-filled face gasket and overfilled draft collar keep the warm air in and colder air out. Ultralight 40-denier riptsop nylon. Contoured hood design. Sloping, trapezoidal, comfortable foot box. Cotton storage sack and stuff sack included."

From CampSaver.com:
"The Mountain Hardwear 1st Dimension is a great bag for summer and features Mountain Hardwearís exclusive Quantum Expander to let you add a full 8î to the bagís girth. Shingled Polarguard Delta insulation and their innovative Ergo Draft Collar keep you warm and comfortable. The 1st Dimension's 30 Degree rating hits the sweet spot for summer backpacking. Your safe at most altitudes under 10,000 feet in the lower 48 states from mid May to Mid September."

"While the quality of the bag is fine, I must say that even the men's long version is not for you if you wear a coat larger than a 42 or 44. I have had to purchase two of the bag expander tubes and I wear a size 48 coat. This has caused a $165 bag to suddenly become a $275 bag. If you have a large chest size, this bag isn't for you."

"Great, lightweight bag when you're sure the temperature won't dip much below freezing. I didn't have the same experience with the temp. rating as other reviewers, though. I'm usually a bit of a cold sleeper and I'm comfortable in this bag without any clothing down to about 40."

"Best investment I ever made.

Actually I bought the bag because of the unreal price, but little did I know that it'd be the bag I use the most. It stuffs smaller than the tiny stuffsack MH gives you, and is relatively weightless compared to my colder weather bags."

"Much like Mark's experience, I found the bag very comfortable, but overrated in the temperature department. I just came back from a two-nighter, slightly chilly at 40 degrees and sleeping in long johns top the next night at 36 degrees. Otherwise, a very nice bag!"

"This is a great warm weather bag. It weighs next to nothing and stuffs very small. The "crazy legs" feature is a great addition, giving your legs a little more room. It has a nice warm hood, and a comfortable lining. The temprature rating of 3O degrees F is a little optimistic in my opinion."
