Very light and very thought out bag. However, I do have several things to say about this bag.

First, the weight is heavier than advertised. Mine weights 1lb 8.5oz (That is 3.5oz heavier than advertised)

Unlike last year's model you cannot shift the down on the coldest nights leaving you wishing morning came as soon as possible.

32 degrees is very deceptive unless you are very big and warm sleeper. I was barely hanging in there at 3 consecutive 35 degrees using a Therm-a-rest ProLite 3 and I tend to have very high thermostat.

This year (2006) Mountain Hardwear started using taffeta lining inside all the Phantom series which is heavier, absorbs dirt and sweat and doesn't feel as soft as the 15 denier nylon that they used both inside and outside the bag.

Now 15D is only found on the outside shell of all Phantoms and I wished they went back to the old material. Other than that, it's a great bag
