From Backcountry.com:
"Mountain Hardwear's Phantom 15 sleeping bag is Mountain Hardwear's coldest-rated bag under 2lbs, making it the bag of choice for low alpine ski touring and hut trips. It features the new alpine mummy cut in a Superlight down bag, meaning it's super easy to carry, and will keep you warm in below-freezing temps. 800-fill down provides insulation, while Mountain Hardwear's alpine mummy cut brings insulation closer to your body without uncomfortable restriction. In addition, the new comfort foot box design allows feet to rest naturally, with toes pointed slightly out. An ergonomic draft collar and down-filled face gasket keep your warmth inside the bag."

From REI:
"Mountain Hardwear Phantom offers three-season backpackers a women-specific shape that maximizes warmth while minimizing weight and bulk. Features women-specific sizing, shape and design, with reduced shoulder and foot girth, and extra insulation in the hood and at hips and feet. Stay toasty warm with superior European 800-fill-power goose down, blended and lab-certified in the United States. Superlight, high-tenacity nylon shell is tear-resistant to increase the longevity of your bag. Box baffle construction creates maximum loft with minimum weight; 5 in. baffle width keeps down from shifting and prevents cold spots. Tuck-stitching the baffles prevents threads from snagging and breaking. Warmth is optimized through differential cut of shell and lining fabrics, allowing the goose down adequate room to expand to its full loft. Multi-baffle, tailored hood brings the sides of the hood in close to the neck and face, reducing the need to cinch the hood tight to keep warm. When it's cold enough to cinch down hood, face gasket makes hood closure more comfortable and effective. Multi-baffle Comfort Foot Box is shaped to allow feet to rest naturally; shape preserves loft and allows down to drape closer to feet for more warmth. Three-quarter-length zipper reduces weight. Two-way locking zipper sliders stay in place when bag is partially unzipped for ventilation; snag-guards keep fabric from catching in zipper. Insulated zipper gusset seals in heat at base of zipper. Insulated draft tube isn't sewn through and extends to bottom of bag to eliminate cold spots. Comes with mesh storage sack and superlight stuff sack."

"This bag's best feature is its warmth-to-weight ratio, although the 15 degree F rating is quite optimistic. I have experimented with all kinds of sleeping pads, layering, etc. and found this bag's rating to be more accurate at 20 degree F. If you are a cold sleeper, you MAY be able to stay warm with minimal layers at 15F, but for the average sleeper expect to be wearing long underwear and a fleece to stay cozy at 20F."

"I have taken out this bag on about 8 trips, the coldest was 18 to 20 degrees in Yosemite, and I was as toasty as could be just in my Patagonia Capilene baselayer. It's warmth to weight ratio is awesome. On the warmer nights I just leave the zipper down a bit and it keeps me comfortable."

"For this bag's latest test, I just came back from a trip to the Big Sur area of California. During Thanksgiving night the temperature dropped to the mid 30s and I was nice and warm. Next day, it rained till noon and while tentbound the sky blue color of this bag really cheered things up."

"I had originally purchased the Phantom 32 but it proved to be a little marginal for high elevation in the fall. It kept me warm at freezing temps but no lower. Sleeping in fleece and a down sweater worked just fine but I was looking for a little more 3-season versatility in the Western Mountains after Labor Day."
