Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"This 0° backpacking bag is warm, lightweight and very compressible—an ideal choice for cold climates. Premium 750-fill-power goose down is efficiently distributed for maximum comfort with 60% of the down on top and 40% on the bottom. Tightly woven, lightweight ripstop polyester and soft taffeta lining are silky, breathable and downproof. Vertical Baffle construction allows the goose down to remain fully lofted and keeps it from shifting and migrating, preventing cold spots. Vertical Baffles also prevent down from shifting to the sides and keeps more down on top of the bag where it keeps you warmer. Contoured hood, roomy foot box and full-length draft tube, draft collar and muffler keep heat in, cold out. Differentiated drawcords (one round, one flat) let you adjust hood and neck easily in the dark. Pad loops provide attachment points to keep your sleeping bag and pad together to avoid rolling off onto the cold ground (straps sold separately). Efficient slim cut keeps the weight down. Includes stuff sack and large cotton storage bag."

"Can't believe what I'm reading about people being cold at 40 degrees - are you zipping it up, putting on the hood, and using the neck baffle? I have yet to even use the neck baffle, and have slept with it nearing freezing temperatures - most of the time I sleep half out of it, naked, unzipped from the bottom part way up."

"Scratch and dent sale baby! Got a great deal on this bag because it "leaked feathers" which nearly every down bag does, albeit very slowly.

I have only tested it but my girlfriend (very warm sleeper) used it in the summer on 50 degree nights (all the way zipped up of course) and loved it."

"This is a great bag, for the lb and the price you really can't get any better. At least it was the best choice at the time when I got mine.

That was about 2 years ago, I have been on about 24 to 28 trips since then. Only 5 of the trips did the temps drop past 32F."

"OK, this review is from somebody who knows what they are talking about. Don't be scared by the reviews that claim this bag is not suitable for its temp rating. I have used this bag in single digit temps, wearing only a layer of midweight thermals and a hat."

"I went on a trip to Moab in March and it was definitely nowhere near freezing--maybe about 40 degrees at the coldest, and dry. And I woke up feeling pretty chilly in this bag, which is ridiculous given a 0 degree rating. I checked the label about 10 times to make sure that I wasn't hallucinating."

"I take this whenever I go backpacking. If it's too warm, I use it like a blanket.

I was in Mojave Desert during Nov 2005 and was comfortable at 29F. And that was with two 2-liter bottles of water and a full camelbak with me. It is down, so it is lightweight and compacts to a super small size."

"Haven't put it to a real test yet, but after hearing complaints about the temperature rating, I figured I should share my experience so far. I'm amazed that someone would shiver at 40F in this bag. I have slept in it down to about 32F and only had it zipped half way up to avoid being too hot."

"VERY OPTIMISTIC temperature rating! I've shivered at 40 degrees F, which is ridiculous. Nice and light but not adequate for winter snow! Be warned!"
