'Pros' for this bag are: compression and weight. Warmth is good - I was comfortable sleeping nights in temps down to the 40s inside a tent.

The only 'Con' I can come up with for this bag is the size. I'm 5' 10" 175 lbs. Using the regular size bag (there is also a 'tall' model available), I was feeling a bit cramped. I fit in the bag length-wise, but just barely. Girth was very tight.

I spent a week in the Wind Rivers in Wyoming in late August. We had a mix of warm and chilly nights. On the coldest night (probably down to about 40 deg) I had to put on some extra clothes. Then I was fine. On warmer nights, I was not overheating. When it came time to pack up and go, this bag packs down to a ridiculously small and light size. Absolutely tiny. Miniscule. I'd highly recommend this bag for summer trips unless you're a really cold sleeper; or a larger dude.
