Any sleeping bag review depends on who wrote it. Are they warm blooded, cold blooded, what kind of physical shape are they in, etc.

I'm very warm blooded. My idea of a winter coat is a Gore-tex shell only. I'm 5'9" 180 lbs, in pretty decent shape.

As far as the bag is concerned. A regular felt too short when I tried it on @ the store, so I got the long. Much better. Enough room to put extra clothes inside without feeling like I am stuffing myself. There is enough width to move around in, but not so much I can't heat it up and stay warm.

When outside camping in 35 degree weather I was comfortable wearing only a polypro shirt and boxers. No long-johns or sox needed. I should mention that we were inside a Kelty 3 season tent, light breeze no rain or snow (that makes a difference also). This bag crushes down to very minimal and weighs almost nothing.

I was so happy with mine that I bought a Mt. Hardwear, Mt Goat for my 8 year old. This way I know he will be warm also.
