Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Mountain Hardwear gave the Lyell SL -15 Down Sleeping Bag a waterproof breathable laminate and DWR coating to keep you dry and comfortable in most winter conditions. The 600-fill down holds onto your body heat, and Mountain Hardwear's ergonomic collar and face gasket surround your face and head to seal out cold air. The watertight construction prevents snow from soaking the down fill, since wet down loses its loft and tends not to keep you as warm."

From REI:
"Free Shipping on Your Whole Order when You Buy Mountain Hardwear. Ends 11/15. A cold-weather junkie, this -15 F bag has a moisture-shedding shell and 600-fill goose down insulation for great wind- and weather-protection. Comes with stuff sack and mesh storage sack. Conduit SL laminate has an exterior water-repellent coating and an inner membrane that resists water penetration. Ergonomic draft collar drapes comfortably over neck and shoulders, sealing out drafts. Full-length, two-way locking zipper sliders are backed by anti-snag tape; insulated zipper gusset seals in heat. High-quality 600-fill-power goose down is warm, lightweight and compressible. Multibaffle, tailored hood has a down-filled face gasket which makes hood closure more comfortable and effective. Performance-cut mummy shape is more efficient by reducing girth at shoulder, hip and lower legs. Tie-in loops stabilize Mountain Hardwear 3D Upgrade Liner, sold separately. Trapezoidal footbox is shaped to preserve loft and allow the goose down to drape closer to the feet, maximizing warmth."

"I could only find one online review of this bag while I was considering it, and it wasn't rated very highly. I couldn't pass up the deal though, and I've never had problems w/ MHW, so I bought it.

I have NOT been disappointed at all. I bivied on Whitney in Feb."

"This is a warm bag. I've used this bag several times this winter in temps well below zero and not once did I get cold. At first I didn't think a down bag was a good choice for Alaska, but so far it has been the right choice. And the bright color helps lift the spirit while sitting out storms. Thanks MH!"
