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.

Even when you have the bag fully zipped, and everything all cinched down for the coldest of temperatures, you have just enough room to move your arms, shoulders, and legs without feeling claustrophobic. I added a down pillow into the hood and cinched everything down and slept soundly all night in the bag every time. (Well unless the wind is blowing so hard that the tent roof is hitting me in the face! Well thats not the bags fault...)

I agree with the other reviewer that the zipper does snag, and is not a smooth of an action as I would like. I would definitely like to see a much smoother zipper action on the bag. It takes me a couple tries to get it fully zipped up.

All in all I fully recommend the bag because of its warmth to weight ratio, and comfort it provides.
