"This bag is awesome! Worth every penny, I have used it outside in heavy dew and frost and stayed warm and dry. Backpacker magazine said it best, "this is not just a bag - it's a shelter". With 800 fill it is nice and cozy. The bag now comes with a compression bag, but it only has three straps so it compresses in to the shape of a banana."

"This bag is damn good. The loft is awesome (800 fill goose down) considering it is composed of Conduit SL waterproof material. There are about 3 stitches in total that are taped of course, the rest is all "welded" technology at work. Makes it lighter and less susceptible to water penetration."

"This bag ROCKS!! BUY THIS BAG!! It stuffs damn small and it's light. And POOF, it lofts quite well. I own a North Face Tundra minus 20 polarguard delta insulation bag and the Mountain Hardwear Spectre SL bag. The MH bag is warmer as a 20 degree bag."
