Temperature Rating: Negative fifteen Fahrenheit
Weight: 3lbs 14 oz
Price Paid: You'd be mad if I told you...

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. and I never had to zip the bag up all the way, let alone cinch the collar. Temps were single digit. I'm 6' 2", a buck seventy five, and I like to move around when I'm sleeping. The Lyell did not leave me feeling mummified or cocooned, and I slept like the proverbial baby. The weight is perfectly balanced w/ the temp rating, and the quality of construction is everything you'd expect from the good folks at MHW, although the apricot color would not be my first choice (that's what bivy sacks are for though, right?). Two thumbs up for the Lyell.
