From CampSaver.com:
"You wont believe how much warmth and comfort you get from such a small package - the Sierra Designs Nitro packs into a tiny sack included, but stays toasty to 15 degrees.Sierra Designs builds in Flex between the shoulders and knees, so you get the comfort and thermal benefits, while saving precious ounces.Continuous baffling and a draft tube contain 800-fill goose down, the warmest, lightest insulation available."

From REI:
"At Sierra Designs ultralight means comfort and warmth. The Nitro 15° 800-fill-power goose down bag packs down to just over 2 lbs. for maximum warmth and minimal weight and bulkiness! Insulated with 800-fill-power goose down for an unsurpassed warmth-to-weight ratio. Baffle construction keeps down from migrating, eliminating cold spots. Similar to the hood on a parka, innovative Jacket Hood is fitted for increased heat retention and thermal efficiency while reducing weight. Offset, ultralight half-length zipper design reduces weight and seals out drafts; snag-free zipper tracks create a barrier between lining and zipper track to prevent tears. Footbox has an opening at the bottom of bag for ventilation—ideal for warm summer nights after a long day of adventure. Ergonomically shaped footbox gives your feet room for comfort and adds warmth by allowing insulation to fully loft. Hidden seams prevent snags for less wear and tear; all seams are tucked and sewn from the inside. Fully insulated dual draft tubes (top and bottom) back the zipper to keep cold air out and body heat in. Used throughout the middle of the bag, Flex™ construction eliminates constriction, allowing the bag to flex and stretch with the user from 1 sleep position to another. Removable Pad Locks™ reduce weight and keep your sleeping bag and pad together to avoid rolling off onto the cold ground (straps sold separately). Stuff sack and lightweight, mesh storage bag included."

"SD seems to finally have something here. At least for the ultra-light crowd. After rejecting the Marmot Helium 15 and the SD Arrow Rock 15 I chose the Nitro 15 for the design, quality, performance and value. SD's snag free zipper design, IMO, is the best around."

"This thing was quite an upgrade over my REI Polar Pod +20. After spending many nights not-quite-warm-enough in my Polar Pod, I decided to spend a bit more and get something better. I am really impressed by the light weight, small packed size, and fill of the bag. I've been warm every night I've slept in it."

"This bag rocks. It is very light and very warm. It packs very small. I was kind of worried about the narrow focus of the bag on lightness. I wondered if there would be durability or waterproofing issues. I have not had a problem with either. This thing is impervious to the morning dew and so far looks like it will hold up well to life on the trail."
